Magick and Monsters (Dungeons and Dragons in the online version) is a fantasy board game that appears in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Its only appearance was in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (However, it was mentioned in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days and appears to have a series of novels as well as rule books), when Greg, Rowley, and Rowley's babysitter Leland played it. Susan decided to play after learning what it was about, but does not get the concept of playing, "ruining" the game.
When Susan finds out the game is enjoyable, she decides to buy Magick and Monsters for Greg and gets every single version of the game. Greg quotes that "Mom didn't cash in a single Mom Buck." as well. After buying it for Greg, Susan informs him that she bought it for the sole purpose of bonding time between Greg and Rodrick. Greg attempts to play with Rodrick, dumbing down the characters to names such as "Joe" and "Bob" in order to not look like a nerd in front of Rodrick.
