How to make an alignment chart
- Give the chart a title and fill each of the nine squares: who or what is lawful good, chaotic evil, and everything in between.
- Tap any square on the chart to add a picture from your device.
- Change the row and column labels to make your own two-axis meme, such as "Cosy, Normal, Unhinged" or "Healthy, Fine, Junk", then download the PNG to share.
Where alignment charts come from
The alignment system began in the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game in the 1970s, where characters were placed on two axes: lawful–neutral–chaotic, describing how much they respect rules and order, and good–neutral–evil, describing their morals. The result is nine combinations, from the rule-following paladin (lawful good) to the agent of pure mayhem (chaotic evil), with "true neutral" in the middle.
The internet turned the grid into a meme format for sorting anything: what counts as a sandwich, ways to eat cereal, office habits or characters from a favourite show. The joke works best when every square has a clear example and the chaotic evil one makes people groan. Your chart is drawn in your browser and pictures are not uploaded anywhere.
