These days we don't blame people for wanting to get together with friends and spend some time living in a fantasy world. All that dice rolling and character creation seems super appealing. As you can see from these memes, we're starting to get a handle on Dungeons & Dragons. Now we just need some people to join us on a campaign. Any takers?

The four day weekend that many people have for Christmas is the perfect time to binge-watch The Lord of the Rings trilogy. That is, if you haven't used lockdowns and quarantines to do that several times already. For the rare breed that's exhausted their binge-watching abilities, we offer this sizeable collection of hilarious and mostly-fresh Lord of the Rings memes. They're the perfect compromise for fans of all things Tolkien - and will help keep you from burning out until the next marathon viewing of your favorite movies. 

This gallery goes out to everyone who'd rather be playing Dungeons & Dragons at any given moment. Lately, with all the lockdowns and coronavirus concerns, we find ourselves feeling this more often. The urge to roll dice grows daily, and we yearn for the day we can get together with our friends and duke it out in real life. In the meantime, at least we've got memes.

Need a little inspiration for your next campaign? Missing the days when you could freely get together with your fellow nerds for some roleplay? These Dungeons and Dragons memes may not write your backstory or fill your gaming void, but we're willing to bet they'll amuse when you can't log on to Roll20. 

Congratulations: you've survived this terrible life long enough to enjoy our latest installment of Tolkien Tuesdays. Your weekly dose of Lord of the Rings memes has arrived. It's a nice mix of fresh LOTR content, classic jokes, and a healthy sprinkle of the goodness served up at Lord of the Rings Shireposting. You can expect a whole lot of stupid shitposts and a fair amount of nerdy references. And if it's not enough to satisfy your craving for Tolkien-related humor, you can check some of our past Tuesday offerings here and here.

Warm greetings to our fantasy-loving friends. We're back with another installment of our Tolkien Tuesdays series. It's exactly what it sounds like: a gallery of memes dedicated to J.R.R. Tolkien's many masterpieces - and the movies they've inspired. We're offering a healthy mix of fresh Middle-earth content and some classic memes that the true heads are sure to recognize and appreciate. If you find yourself needing more, you can check out previous collections here and here.

It's been just over five years since we lost the great humorist and fantasy writer Terry Pratchett. The English novelist succumbed to Alzheimer's just over forty years after his first book was published - but his wisdom, wit, and social commentary render his incredible brain more relevant than ever. Twitter user @TheOperaGeek provided the site with ample proof of this in a very long Twitter thread that is comprised of quotes from his Discworld books.

Pratchett's Discworld imagines a flat planet (don't get any ideas, flat-earthers) that sits on the back of four elephants - who are standing on the back of a giant turtle. The books uses fantastical themes to create satirical parallels with real-life problems such as policing, white collar crime, and socio-economic disparities. The quotes that @TheOperaGeek uses focuses on all of the above, and relate to the many injustices that are being addressed in protests today. We've included some of the most moving and astute Discworld tidbits, but there's much more to be seen on Kelli's thread. It's all a great reminder of what a special person Terry Pratchett was, and makes us wonder what he'd have to say about the state of the world.

Let's be honest here, real-life planet earth sucks right now. We've got a plague, murderous bees, fires, and we're on the brink of war. We'd much rather be in Middle-Earth far away from all of that sh*t. Since we can't exactly go there, we figure Lord of the Rings memes are the next best thing.

Object labeling memes have been making waves for a while, from Distracted Boyfriend to Cracking Open A Cold One With The Boys. The ease of the format has led to some seriously viral memes. Its latest manifestation uses dramatic, dark and violent fantasy paintings to humorously describe some pretty average situations. 

We're not going to make wild generalizations right now, but have you noticed more friends getting down with D&D while in lockdown? It seems like everyone and their mom is embracing the life. If that's true, there are even more people on the internet who can appreciate Dungeons & Dragons memes. And we've got a crap ton of them right here. 

Some things were just made to go together: peanut butter and jelly, meat and potatoes, and apparently Lord of the Rings and Parks and Rec. Yeah, we were surprised too. So without further ado, check out the following amazing mashups of the two and click here for another potentially even more bizarre mashup between Harry Potter and Brooklyn Nine-Nine!

Geralt stans rejoice! We're back with another batch of Witcher memes for anyone who is going through withdrawals from the Netflix series. They're not genius or hard-hitting memes, but they will satisfy your fantasy cravings. And if you need more, you can check out some more memes right here.

We're always down for a dank new Harry Potter meme, and we're especially keen on this one that's been circulating Reddit lately. The meme features the beloved Alan Rickman as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film. Scroll down for some of our favorites!

While eating cold pizza one night, Dr. Fred Wu began to ponder something unusual: where on earth would one put a defibrillator on a centaur, should they go into cardiac arrest? He tweeted about the predicament and fellow doctors began offering their ideas on the topic. 

Below are some of the amusing responses!
