Dungeons and Dragons - Memes and Comics

Not to dissect the frog on the complaining-about-dissecting-the-frog post, but my interpretation was that those sorts of responses are less on the admonishing OP or their friends for having fun shenanigans, and more of as a heads-up to other players reading it why their DM might not allow the same shenanigans if they were to do similarly in their game. Plenty of folks on here are not 100% versed on every D&D rule out there, and I think it's okay to make informative comments that help people learn the game better.

Most of those "tricks" are dependent on a DM who does not understand the rules or why they are the way they are

I kinda expect that though. Just like I'd expect a serious post to have joke/meme responses too.

But, you get a bunch of gamer geeks together, start of with something funny, and there's two ways the conversation is going to go. First is sharing funny stories, then you get into the talk about the rules around the story.

It's part and parcel of any hobby tbh, but it's more likely to happen with table top games because a lot of the funny comes from bending the rules in the first place.

I think of it as part of the overall fun.

Ahhh, just like a real session.

Just like inaccurate political/news memes, it's important that, after a laugh, we make sure some dumbass doesn't take it as fact. Not everyone is going to read the source material. Have your chuckle then buckle down

Lemmy is bad at fun. Kind of like Data during TNG when he didn't have an emotion chip.
