Rules

Disclaimer These rules are copied directly from r/DnDMemes and will be adapted to Lemmy shortly.

Rule 1. Be Excellent to One Another: No trolling, harassment, personal attacks, sea-lioning, hate speech, slurs, or name-calling. Overly off-topic, political, or hateful debates will be removed, and bans may be issued based on severity. This includes both posts and comments. We reserve the right to remove content or comments that contain discrimination or distasteful content. Be kind and stay on topic.

Rule 2. No Reposts: Posts must not have been posted in !DnDMemes before. Reports with direct links to the original post will greatly expedite their removal process. Reposts from other subreddits are allowed, but once a meme is posted to !DnDMemes, it will forever after be considered a repost.

Rule 3. Post Style Guide: Posts must be strongly relevant to D&D (or other TTRPGs) and must include an attempt at humor or entertainment. Posts must be legible, understandable for a general audience and have some effort put into them, including titles. Video posts may be up to 3 minutes long, and they must be humorous in nature. Only one meme is allowed per post; posts with multiple images inside of them, such as a collage, will be removed. Posts must not rely solely on the title to relate to D&D.

Rule 4. No Advertising: Meme culture is non-profit. No links to stores, fundraising/payment sites, or comments asking for money/followers. Social media handles or website watermarks on original content are acceptable, unless these are monetized, and self promotion of one’s own social media should be limited to once per week. Accounts whose sole purpose are to push products, whether legitimately or fraudulently, will be permanently banned and their content removed.

Rule 5. No Piracy: Do not share or request pirated content. No linking, hinting at, or naming hosts of illicit non-SRD D&D content. You are allowed to copy-paste relevant rules or sections from sources, but large blocks of text may be removed.

Rule 6. No Beating a Dead Horse: Moderators may step in to issue a 3 month prohibition on certain meme topics and formats. The requirements for placing a topic on hiatus are 1. The topic has been prominent on the front page for at least 3 days or 2. The debate topic is toxic in nature. Certain historically overdone themes or formats may be retired permanently at moderator discretion/per user poll. Please see the current list.


The rules listed above are not exhaustive and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Such decisions can be appealed in mod mail, and the mods will do their best to come to a productive resolution. All "borderline" mod decisions are the product of informed and objective internal discussion. We welcome feedback on our rules and are always seeking to improve them for better clarity and creating a friendly, social environment here at !DnDMemes.

In the magical realm of Dungeons & Dragons, spells come in all shapes and forms. From fireballs to invisibility, wizards and sorcerers alike wield an arsenal of mystical powers. However, amidst the arcane spells and incantations, there exists an unusual but surprisingly potent spell: Mike's Hard Lemonade. While it may seem like an unlikely addition to the world of D&D, we shall explore why Mike's Hard Lemonade is, in fact, a genuine and intriguing spell in this fantastical universe.

The Origin of Mike's Hard Lemonade

To understand why Mike's Hard Lemonade qualifies as a D&D spell, we must first delve into its origins. Mike's Hard Lemonade hails from a realm known as "Marketing Magic." In the realm of marketing, the power of persuasion reigns supreme, and Mike's Hard Lemonade embodies this power perfectly. It has the remarkable ability to capture the attention and affection of those who encounter it, convincing them of its enticing taste and refreshment.

The Spell Components

Every D&D spell requires certain components to be cast successfully. In the case of Mike's Hard Lemonade, these components include a lemon wedge, a glass or tankard, and the famous bottle or can adorned with the logo of the spell's creator, Mike. These items serve as the spell's material components, combining in a ritualistic manner to channel its magic.

Casting the Spell

Casting Mike's Hard Lemonade is a unique and delightful process. The caster, typically a bard or sorcerer, starts by presenting the lemon wedge, a symbol of zest and tang, which represents the spell's refreshing qualities. Next, the glass or tankard is filled with the liquid, and the bottle or can is opened with a satisfying pop, releasing the spell's enchanting aroma.

The Effects of Mike's Hard Lemonade

Once the spell is cast, those who partake in its magic experience a range of effects that make it a truly remarkable D&D spell:

  1. Refreshment: The drink provides an immediate sensation of refreshment, revitalizing the drinker. In D&D terms, this equates to temporary hit points, making it a valuable tool in combat situations.

  2. Charisma Boost: Much like a bard's inspiring presence, Mike's Hard Lemonade enhances the charisma of the drinker. This can be particularly useful in social interactions and negotiations.

  3. Confidence Surge: The spell imbues the drinker with a boost of confidence, allowing them to perform tasks and abilities with greater finesse and success, similar to the effects of the "Bardic Inspiration" spell.

  4. Temporary Euphoria: As the spell takes effect, a feeling of temporary euphoria washes over the drinker, granting them advantage on certain saving throws against fear and enchantment spells.

  5. Enchantment Aura: The spell also creates a subtle enchantment aura around the drinker, making them more likable and persuasive to others.

The Limitations and Consequences

Like all spells in D&D, Mike's Hard Lemonade has its limitations and consequences. Overindulgence can lead to the "Inebriation" condition, which impairs judgment and coordination. Additionally, like a limited spell slot, there is a finite quantity of Mike's Hard Lemonade available, making it a precious resource in the D&D world.

In conclusion, Mike's Hard Lemonade is undeniably a spell in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, a spell of refreshment, charisma, and confidence. While it may not be found in the standard spellbooks of wizards and sorcerers, its unique enchantment properties make it a valuable addition to any adventurer's toolkit. As with all magic, one must wield it responsibly, for the consequences of overindulgence can be as real in the realms of D&D as in our own. So, adventurers, raise your tankards and toast to the magical Mike's Hard Lemonade spell, a testament to the diversity and creativity that makes D&D such an enchanting universe.

You're thinking of Mike's Refreshing Lemonade. Totally different.

Mike's Hard Lemonade is when he drops his pants, and blasts his enemies with an unrelenting and piercing stream of otherworldly piss.

It's actually just that he opens a tiny portal to the bottom of a very deep (high pressure) water source (deep lake, bottom of ocean) and puts the other end of the portal at the end of his dick... but Mike is all about showmanship.

Do portals require one end be the same size as the other? If not a large portal leading to a small portal could increase pressure alone.

If one was to make a portal in their own bladder, and redirect that urine out of a portal that is only a few microns wide they could potentially create enough pressure differential to create a stream of urine powerful enough to cleave someone in twain.

Did you write this? This should be actual Mike's advertising material...

Oh good, because it missed the critical fail to the cast, which is horrendous, debilitating, gut rot (seriously, I have never been able to drink that crap without gut rot, which tracks because I’m not much of a spellcaster)
