Anjin Hasn't Read the Rules

"Tell your lord that I have been playing Dungeons & Dragons for 40 years." "The Anjin says he hasn't read the rules since he was 12."

A bearded man in dark blue robes walks beside a woman in traditional Japanese clothing in a historical Japanese setting. The joke contrasts decades of playing Dungeons & Dragons with never reading the rules, turning the character’s claim of experience into a familiar tabletop-gamer excuse. It is used as a reaction to someone confidently playing while ignoring the rulebook.
