Maybe the Bard puts on a concert in the local tavern simply that’s because what their character would do. They interact with the townsfolk, find out any local gossip, maybe seduce some locals, pickpocket some guards simply because they can. It is a game that mostly runs on the unending power of imagination, so people visualize themselves in the world the DM has created. Many people love Dungeons & Dragons because of the huge level of immersion. So I guess for people who love the namesake of Dungeons & Dragons but don’t have the patience to hang out with a group of people, Skyrim is a pretty acceptable substitute. And every third door you open seems to lead you into a dungeon, even if you are certain that the map said it would lead you to Whiterun. It felt like you couldn’t take a simple trip to melt down some Dwemer metal without tripping over a dragon. Skyrim on the other hand is awash with both dungeons and dragons. There should be a minimum of one dragon and one dungeon in every adventure. And now that I’ve looked back and realized I’ve never fought a titular dragon, I feel incredibly cheated. Dragonborn sometimes, which is a weirdly specific overlap between Skyrim and D&D but never a dragon. And dragons? I will be honest, I have never been a part of an adventure that had a dragon in it, and I’ve never witnessed one either. Towns? You get lost in those for days, buying and trading useless baubles. So whether you are a long-time D&D fanatic, a dabbler like myself or just have a passing familiarity, I'm sure some of these will tickle your fancy.įor a game titled Dungeons & Dragons, you spend very little time in dungeons. And once I started falling down that rabbit hole, I couldn't just keep these images to myself, no I had to pass on this craziness to you, my readers. So there was a whole untapped genre of meme for me to get behind because I forgot how huge the nerd community is. But then I remember that the world has almost eight billion people on it, so even a niche of that is going to be a massive amount of people. So in my travels across the weird wide web, I noticed more and more threads where people were sharing some seriously funny memes about a subject that I thought only a niche section of the world enjoyed. And you know what the internet's favorite way of sharing jokes and stories are? Memes. And since in this day and age, nerdy stuff is creeping up out of the shadows and becoming more socially acceptable thanks to shows like Community or Stranger Things and celebrities like Vin Diesel, the internet can now openly start sharing jokes about some of the most ridiculous things they've encountered in the world of tabletop gaming. I'll admit, my dalliances in D&D are sparse, but what I have experienced, I've immediately loved. I'm all for something that is all about exploiting very constrictive rules for amusing loopholes, and pretending you are a Necromancer. Dungeons & Dragons has been the epitome of super nerdom since 1974, and I mean that in the best way possible.
