Rules

Disclaimer These rules are copied directly from r/DnDMemes and will be adapted to Lemmy shortly.

Rule 1. Be Excellent to One Another: No trolling, harassment, personal attacks, sea-lioning, hate speech, slurs, or name-calling. Overly off-topic, political, or hateful debates will be removed, and bans may be issued based on severity. This includes both posts and comments. We reserve the right to remove content or comments that contain discrimination or distasteful content. Be kind and stay on topic.

Rule 2. No Reposts: Posts must not have been posted in !DnDMemes before. Reports with direct links to the original post will greatly expedite their removal process. Reposts from other subreddits are allowed, but once a meme is posted to !DnDMemes, it will forever after be considered a repost.

Rule 3. Post Style Guide: Posts must be strongly relevant to D&D (or other TTRPGs) and must include an attempt at humor or entertainment. Posts must be legible, understandable for a general audience and have some effort put into them, including titles. Video posts may be up to 3 minutes long, and they must be humorous in nature. Only one meme is allowed per post; posts with multiple images inside of them, such as a collage, will be removed. Posts must not rely solely on the title to relate to D&D.

Rule 4. No Advertising: Meme culture is non-profit. No links to stores, fundraising/payment sites, or comments asking for money/followers. Social media handles or website watermarks on original content are acceptable, unless these are monetized, and self promotion of one’s own social media should be limited to once per week. Accounts whose sole purpose are to push products, whether legitimately or fraudulently, will be permanently banned and their content removed.

Rule 5. No Piracy: Do not share or request pirated content. No linking, hinting at, or naming hosts of illicit non-SRD D&D content. You are allowed to copy-paste relevant rules or sections from sources, but large blocks of text may be removed.

Rule 6. No Beating a Dead Horse: Moderators may step in to issue a 3 month prohibition on certain meme topics and formats. The requirements for placing a topic on hiatus are 1. The topic has been prominent on the front page for at least 3 days or 2. The debate topic is toxic in nature. Certain historically overdone themes or formats may be retired permanently at moderator discretion/per user poll. Please see the current list.


The rules listed above are not exhaustive and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Such decisions can be appealed in mod mail, and the mods will do their best to come to a productive resolution. All "borderline" mod decisions are the product of informed and objective internal discussion. We welcome feedback on our rules and are always seeking to improve them for better clarity and creating a friendly, social environment here at !DnDMemes.

Its MFW isn't it? My face when.

POV, point of view, would mean you see the paladin in the picture.

Or is this supposed to be the paladin after getting one shot?

This is like the new (horrible) meme trend. So many “POV…” that should be MFW, or just dont add anything. It’s like everyone forgot wtf POV means…. This and the “Literally nobody: “ extra lines are what make me put my phone down and go to something else….after i leave this comment, of course…

Enlighten us please?

ETA: thanks everyone who replied. I've actually seen the movie, but it was a bit meh for me. Not bad in any way, just didn't hit right. I remember I enjoyed much more the first d&d movie (then one from 2000). But hey, to each their own! 🙂

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Generally well liked by audiences, D&D nerds and film buffs. I watched it and enjoyed it. Some highlights:

  • Good storyline with consistent characters and a well paced plot. Good acting and notable names in the cast with some newer talent too.
  • Creators clearly loved their source material. Lots of world building detail if you're into that. Good mix of both practical effects and special effects. The Paladin's intro and the Jarnathan scene are good examples of practical effects side, and the dragon and spell casting are good examples of SFX.
  • From the D&D side, you get the feel of "just a bunch of friends getting together for a tabletop adventure." They ham up the comedy a bit. The Paladin is like a player or DMPC that joins for one session and then peaces out. Apparently even the events of the combat sequences go in initiative order.

Fun movie, would recommend.

I was really sceptical before watching the movie, but it really just feels like a group of friends telling you about their last campaign.

Well summarized!

It's an awesome movie, I had a good laugh throughout the movie. They captured the fun of playing DnD in a group and acting silly at times: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2906216/

Something that's not captured when D&D appears in most tv shows like Stranger Things, where it feels more like Heroquest.

Then again, probably kids playing would be less silly and more serious?

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

I do feel like (atleast in my groups) the whole acting goofy and having fun rather than playing it seriously came with age. When I was younger it was more about looking up rules every single time, but as an adult there is just not enough time to do that and enjoy a good evening of fun.

Just don’t get hit! With your dexterity, you may last longer against an enemy that deals virtually infinite damage.
