Dungeons & Dragons is more than a game—it's a lifestyle. And when you're not hanging with your crew and playing D&D, you are talking about it. And when those around you don't want to talk about D&D, what do you do? Make characters or build worlds. But what if all you have is your phone? You skim memes!

Memes can capture some of the great feelings that make D&D so much fun to play and talk about. But not all memes are created equal. While all memes pass over the head of non-players, there are some memes that only make sense to veteran players. Here are 10 Hilarious D&D memes guaranteed to separate the OGs from the newbies.

10 The Types Of DMs

One thing about D&D is that it's a radically different experience depending on your DM. We all have our favorites, but you don't always get to pick your DM. Maybe the rules lawyer is the only one running a regular game in your town. Or maybe you have that friend who's always played but now wants to DM, so you have to suffer while they learn the rules.

Because, let's be honest: any DM is better than no DM. And no matter how you feel about the different styles, every one has their advantages. Sometimes The Punisher makes it hurt so good, or The Engineer constructs an epic battle that feels so real you half expect to collect a soldier's pension.

9 Who Mourns For The Mind Flayer?

After you've been playing D&D for a while, you can sometimes end up with these existential musings: Why am I doing this? How many creatures have I killed? Is any of this really justified? This brief cartoon hits you right in your heart. You're not really evil, are you? And while some people might think that getting rid of Illithids is always justified, most of us can't help but tear up at that little one with his little stuffed ankheg.

8 Why So Many D&D Players Become Writers

This meme is so true. If you've spent any time as a DM, you've probably also spent more than a little time designing your own worlds and scenarios. Which the players completely fail to follow. They either rabbit-hole (sometimes literally) on some stupid side quest or totally obsess on some stupid NPC. So you write down what would have happened if players had only done what they were supposed to--Boom! Instant fantasy story.

7 OK Rules Lawyer

It's not just DMs who are rules lawyers. Any DM who's spent time behind the screen has had a run-in with a few players who are sticklers for the rules. And even those who aren't normally rulebound suddenly find reverence for them when the life of their character is on the line. The arguments can get pretty detailed, and they'll never let it go. Ever. Sometimes you just gotta say, "Tell it to the kobolds, 'cause I ain't listening!"

6 Two Things I Know About D&D Players

Ha-ha! Any veteran D&D player has gone through those long, dry periods when you don't have a regular game. And what do we do when we can't find a game? We make characters. Cool characters that we hope we get a chance to play. And, yeah, the other thing is super accurate, too. When a DM starts rolling dice mysteriously, you wonder what's going on? What did I miss? The best DMs know this and make a habit of rolling periodically just to mess with your nerves.

5 Hey, I've Got This Great Idea For A New Class

D&D has a lot of options for character classes, and with the 5th edition, you have even more ways to customize each class. But sometimes it's not enough, and you end up wanting something more. So you get an itch and decide to come up with your own class. You spend time designing the class, coming up with abilities that scale by level. It's balanced, nuanced, and, above all, cool. Then you show it to your DM, and he busts out laughing. In just one sentence, he explains how ludicrous your idea is.

4 Somebody Put A Leash On That Rogue

Rogues . . . what can you say? You can't live with them and you can't live without their ability to pick locks and disable traps. So, periodically, you have to deal with nonsense like this.

And if you've got a DM who periodically makes that peasant a prince in disguise (what is this, Aladdin?!?!), you can find yourself caught between a rogue and a halberd (or a couple hundred) from the city guard.

3 DMs Think They're All That

If there's one thing that DMs are proud of, it's their plot twists. They spend hours trying to figure out how to convince you that this evil sorceress is good or that the werewolf is someone other than that creepy guy in town who is obv a werewolf. So, when you ask them what's going to happen next time, you're likely to get a cryptic answer like this, as if they were Dr. Strange. Fine. Keep your secrets. It won't matter anyway: watch me jump the shark on a side quest!

2 Gelatinous Cube Is Legit Terrifying

This meme is divisive because there're gonna be those who mock the gelatinous cube, and those that defend it. People have to understand that being digested by slimy goo was practically its own horror subgenre in the 80s. There was The BlobThe Stuff, and the story "The Raft," from Creepshow 2.

Not to mention similar images of bodily dissolution in horror hits The Thing and The Fly. So, yeah, "jello" was terrifying. Besides, it's realistic. Didn't you see Octonauts'  "A Very Vegimal Christmas?" No? Well, sea snot is real.

1 Money: So Hard To Earn, So Easy To Spend In D&D

All you need to play D&D is pencil and paper. Your DM can manage the rules and rulebooks and loan you a die when you need to roll it. But if we're being totally honest here: who can live like that? You might start out buying a set of dice for everyone's convenience, and maybe a player's handbook to make it easier to make characters and level up between sessions. Then there are cool sourcebooks. More dice. A cool dice bag. More dice so it doesn't seem so empty. Why not hire a professional artist to sketch your character? Oh, and you can get a custom mini now, too. And round it out with more dice.

Really, there's practically no limit to how much you can spend on D&D stuff, and absolutely no need to spend any of it. Other than that you love the game, and it's normal to buy things for the ones you love.
