This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

ITT- Nerds take a 4chan green text way too seriously.
The problem is that newbies see this shit and think it's normal. One in every 20 rolls is a nat 20. It just means that what you tried went as well as it possibly could have. It doesn't make possible anything that wasn't already
I play with these noobs, and explaining that a nat 20 is not an automatic success on whatever the player wants comes up every other session. It's a problem because it both makes the game more annoying for me to play, and less enjoyable for the person who thought their plan was going to succeed. I'm not concern trolling, I'm offering personal experience to the discussion
Ah yes, the "I jump to the moon" player.

"We only have 50 gp between us... I'm gonna roll persuasion!"
The DM ended up letting her get away with Prestidigitating some fake platinum pieces, which by all rights ought to get us arrested
Alright here's the bag.
Let me know whenever you reach in.

You are really trying to pretend that you know literally anything about me
Bottom line is, these memes misrepresent what D&D (and TTRPGs in general) is like, and that's why I don't like them. I have a similar problem with the super popular actual play shows. The Mercer Effect is real
