We're of the mind that escaping reality is the best thing for us to do these days. Best way to avoid actuality? A goddamn fantasy role playing game. Whether you're a shamelessly horny Bard or a kill-happy barbarian, these memes are sure to tickle your nerdy fancy.

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?
We love the Harry Potter franchise, but one can't help but notice some...weird logic that J.K. Rowling used in her character development. These tweets hilariously call out that bizarre logic!
Louisiana author Diana Rowland spins tales of urban fantasy and Sci-Fi. While she's been published for nearly two decades, she's also worked "as a bartender, a blackjack dealer, a pit boss, a street cop, a detective, a computer forensics specialist, a crime scene investigator, and a morgue assistant." It's no surprise, then, that her Christmas decorations reflect her colorful past. While some people opt for sweet nativity scenes or light-up reindeer, Rowland prefers something a little more fantastical grace her grassy lawn. Dragons.
Dragons seem to be pretty en vogue at the moment, thanks, undoubtedly to shows like Game of Thrones. Unfortunately for Rowland, it would seem that dragon-mania seems to have skipped her corner of Mandeville, LA. After putting up her display for the holiday, she received a very judgmental and very capitalized email from an anonymous neighbor. The note claims that the display is "only marginally acceptable at Halloween," and "totally inappropriate at Christmas." The note-writer goes on to say the neighbors are wondering if her family belongs to a demonic cult. Rowland used her classic sense of humor and gifted the note to Facebook and Twitter. People instantly sprang to her support, and even more so - the support of her dragons. Take it all in below.
Remember those awesomely quirky animal reviews we featured a while back? Well @welcometomymemepage is back at it with these memes inspired by text-based adventure games. The memes are appropriately aesthetically simple - but wonderfully weird. The best part? The creator is raising money to make the game a reality.
According to the Kickstarter, "Through the Gorge" is based on Carl Jung's "The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious." It's an interesting concept, one that involves a man's recurring dream about descending a fearsome gorge - all in the hopes of making his way to a mighty castle in the distance. The game has already secured funding, but if you like what you see you can still donate to provide further funding. We're definitely sold.
