Expanding Brain: Being Poly For A Full DnD Party

Being Poly For The Sex; Being Poly For The Emotional Support and Love; Being Poly For The Multiple Incomes; Being Poly To Have a Full DnD Party

This is a 4-panel meme using the classic expanding brain format, where increasingly bright glowing brains represent increasingly unexpected ultimate priorities. The joke lists common assumptions for why people are polyamorous (shortened to 'Being Poly') leading to a punchline for tabletop roleplaying game fans: the first dim small brain is labeled 'Being Poly For The Sex', the second partially glowing purple brain is 'Being Poly For The Emotional Support and Love', the third fully glowing bright brain is 'Being Poly For The Multiple Incomes', and the final maximally glowing radiating brain is the punchline 'Being Poly To Have a Full DnD Party'. The joke leans into the extremely common struggle of Dungeons & Dragons players who struggle to find enough people to fill a full adventuring party, matching the original post title that it is very hard to find people to play with.

This meme originates from Reddit, with the original title 'It's very hard to find people to play with...' as provided. It is a derivative remix that uses the pre-existing popular expanding brain meme template, a common format for jokes about escalating priorities and unexpected punchlines. It was created to make a relatable joke for the tabletop gaming community about the difficulty of recruiting enough players for a full DnD campaign.
