One of the great things about playing role-playing games—apart from the suspense of disbelief—is taking massive, audacious risks and watching them pay off in real time. This is both thrilling and rewarding, as there's really no real-life risk involved. However, it would be foolish to think that just because there's no real-life risk in the game, you can translate your character's behavior into real life. Basically, just because you're roleplaying as a charismatic womanizing bard doesn't give yo…

Role-playing games offer us a chance to escape our own perspective within a structured world with a unique set of rules by adopting a new perspective within a structured world with a unique set of rules—and what's not to enjoy about that? After all, there are plenty of people who play games that are essentially chore simulation machines, and pretty much all games in some way seek to simulate the effects of completing important tasks by tapping into the reward centers of our brains. So, with all…

When this DM made a post about a player's interesting request, they had no idea it would capture the attention of the DND community . Reddit isn't nearly as anonymous as people like to think it is. This DND player, u/EmotionalMacaroon169, tried to make a post on a throwaway account. They shared with the DND community that they were in a conundrum. A new player joined their homebrew game, and since she's a vegan, she wanted the game's world to reflect that. The OP was using a throwaway account s…

There's something to be said about leaving things you don't understand well enough alone. We see this often in workplaces when some new-fangled manager comes along who doesn't understand the technical work of the people reporting to them; rather than seeking to understand (or admitting that they don't understand), they try to apply their existing mental framework to the situation—often with disastrous results. This situation is no different; when working with kids, you're going to find yourself…

It may be a happy accident that this person watched “ Dungeons and Dragons ” completely wrong. Movie lovers will adore this post of a person who watched a movie incorrectly and was completely enamored with it. When u/Rodlylane watched the flick, they had a tough time navigating the settings. They just wanted to watch with subtitles, but they got a little more than they bargained for. Nevertheless, this OP adored the movie , and began researching it after the credits rolled. That ended up being…

The sense of budding adventure, guiling improvisation, and mischievous creativity that takes can take place over a simple kitchen table during a session of DnD is nothing that you can accurately describe… The hard part is just getting everyone to the table. We live in a complex world where our lives and commitments are in constant flux, making it hard to make consistent plans for our hobbies and personal pleasures. Besides—let's be honest—the last few years haven't been the best for organizing…

That's wholesome.

Time to roll the dice.

Critical hit.

What's so great about reality anyway? Sure, it's where we live, but enough of us have lived in crappy apartments and worse towns to know that real life sometimes doesn't cut it. Here are some Dungeons and Dragons memes to tide you over until your next session, which hopefully you can schedule within the next few weeks if Bryan can get his stupid life together and show up this time.

Get planning that next campaign with this hearty dose of 'Dungeons and Dragons' memes.

It gets dicey.

Let's roll.

The real weapon is creativity.

Now that's a party.
