How much humour belongs at the tabletop gaming table? In this video I explore the role laughter plays in our hobby, from chaotic Dungeons & Dragons sessions full of movie quotes and ridiculous dice rolls to the friendly banter that appears during historical miniature wargames.
Are jokes and laughter an essential part of the tabletop experience, or can they break immersion and distract from the game? Using examples from roleplaying games and miniature wargaming, we look at how humour shapes the atmosphere of a gaming group, strengthens friendships, and often creates the most memorable moments of a campaign or battle. Whether you play D&D, tabletop wargames, historical miniature games, or skirmish games, this discussion asks a simple question: do the best gaming memories come from victory… or from the moments that made everyone laugh?
