Most times I see "Great D&D ideas" posts are scenarios better suited for any game that's not D&D
This would be great in a more free-form, narrative TTRPG
Literally, this is just mage the ascension.
I feel the same, but tell myself that for many people "DnD" is a stand-in for any sort of imagination game. Like people say "kleenex" for tissue or "xerox" for copy.
I agree with you, but find it absolutely hilarious that the two examples you gave are the ones I almost never hear people around me using.
I feel like people use “D&D” like “Google” when people say “D&D idea” they generally mean “any TTRPG idea” and when people say “Google It” they mean “look it up”
This is all expected in the "Powered by the Apocalypse" (PTBA) system and it's spin offs.
Good fit for Dungeon World.
Would work pretty well in Fabula Ultima
