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
You might just be the target audience of the comment above.
I'm not taking the green text seriously in the comment you replied to, I'm complaining about the effect the general meme has had on the game
Memes will not ruin DnD lol.
You can explain rules to new players or even flex the rules. It's a game to have fun, not some sacred ritual to be protected and preserved.
Being the "um actually" guy does nothing but turn people off of the DnD community, and I would argue does more damage than people making jokes and not understanding the rules.
I've played with people that are intimidated by the rules and scope of the game. The way I handle it is just ease into it, don't be a stickler. The most important part is having fun!
