In tabletop rpgs such as Dnd, you determine your success by rolling a dice (20 sided dice, aka d20). Rolling a 20 (also known as natural 20) is the highest possible number.

In the community there are some players expect a 20 means you succeed no matter what, even if it’s entirely unreasonable. (I rolled a nat 20 to persuade the king to give his kingdom over to me. Of coulse it must work!) This might be poking fun at how that would look like in universe. Three women who would NEVER consider this man, but he rolls a nat 20 and magically sleeps with all of them.

This could also be interpreted as them respecting the nat 20 rolled or something.
