Dungeons and Dragons, the classic roleplaying game and cultural phenomenon, has attracted people of all sorts ever since its invention several decades ago. Whether you choose to be a druid, paladin, rogue, elf, dwarf, human, halfling or whatever else, the game invites you and your friends to create a funny, exciting, and often flamboyant fantasy world. It brings people together around a table to collaborate and imagine.

Devotees of the game congregate on Reddit's /r/dndmemes to joke and post about their hobby, sharing common trials, tribulations, and tricks of the trade. In a world where anything could happen and the only limiting factor is what dice tell you or don’t tell you, there is endless potential for hilarity and frustration. While there may be no real magic going on at the table, there is real magic there, the magic of friendship. And, one supposes, the magic of these 12 memes.
