    Bahahaha!

    Yeah, we argue about rules, like a lot.

    But on the other hand, we also work to figure out how to make ridiculous things happen within the rules.

    It’s the nature of the game.

    I think it’s like “you had to be there” tier jokes. Once you get far enough away from the shared framework and experience, things are less funny and relatable.

    Like, if you post a funny story about your soccer game where the goalie shot the ball out of the air with their nerf cannon, that’s cool but like what? That’s not how soccer typically works.

    Haha, sorry about that, but we only do it with ideas we really like and want to spend more time thinking about, if that helps 😄

    I think part of it is that meme discussions are just a great place to actually talk shop about D&D.

    Back on reddit, the vast majority of D&D subs were flooded with fan art and very little discussion. There were DM subs, but those obviously left out players. I loved /r/rpg, but that place was also a refuge for people who don’t want to talk about D&D and only D&D all the dang time. (And even if I’m mostly over D&D, I still like D&D in theory, if not always in practice). So… that kind of left /r/dndmemes as, unexpectedly, one of the few places to get in-depth discussion about all kinds of RPGs and experiences from around the table.
