35 Funny Dungeon Master Memes For D&D Leaders Who’ve Ever Yelled “Roll Initiative” In Frustration

I’ve played Dungeons & Dragons for years, and while I’ve mostly been a player, I’ve stepped behind the DM screen a few times—and let me tell you, it’s not for the faint of heart.

The prep work? Fun. Building worlds, plotting story arcs, weaving in mysteries? A blast. The hard part? Herding a party of absolute chaos gremlins who ignore every carefully placed plot hook so they can flirt with the tavern bartender, adopt every NPC, or try to seduce the final boss dragon mid-battle.

These D&D memes go out to all the Dungeon Masters out there who are just trying to keep the campaign on track while their party burns everything to the ground in the name of roleplay.
