Pet peeve. I know it sucks that D&D dominates #TTRPG spaces. Same problem as superheroes in comics. But that doesn't mean the game sucks. An honest look at all the iterations of that game over 40+ years reveals some real gems, most notably the 1981 B/X edition, which is a fucking fantastic refinement and restatement of the original game idea from 1974.
It is a good god damn game. You can hate D&D overall, but don't pretend this is a bad game. It's just a bad take.
