I mean, it is the alpha. D&d is the root of ttrpg. Didn't have to be, there were other things that could have been. And it wasn't the true first stage of that became ttrpg; it was built on other things.
But you gotta be realistic and admit that d&d as a "thing" is the single best known, most successful system out there. It is what it is.
It is the first commercial succes I would say.
Also DnD as a thing is the best known in the US. Check Das Schwarze Auge in Germany, or Cthulhu in Japan.
Finally, could we agree that even if we aren't perfect and can improve.. and agree quickly that "yeah, the DnD bit should have been TTRPG or "? The person describes a Food Fight in a Stuffer Shack - a Shadowrun classi - and I have to argue that TTRPG would be a better fit than DnD?
