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 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”
I 100% tell people “I play D&D” or answer “are you busy this weekend” with “I’ve got D&D” even though I haven’t played D&D since COVID and even before then I had done multiple campaigns and one-shots in other systems.
Man I forgot all about Dungeon World. I think I backed a kickstarter they did a long time ago. Never got around to playing it tho. I’ll have to dig it out and see if my game group is interested.
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 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.

Good fit for Dungeon World.

This is all expected in the “Powered by the Apocalypse” (PTBA) system and it’s spin offs.
Would work pretty well in Fabula Ultima
