D&D as a name means nothing to me, because it's so close to the "baseline" for what fantasy is, that it's hard to say it really has much of an identity of its own....

That said, you're creative and know how to just go all-in on what a fantasy universe can do for you... you can get some amazing results, like BG3 and the recent D&D movie
