The other day a guy in my group straight faced said something like "The beauty of D&D is we can make up and try out some rules for, like, a chase scene. If we don't like them we can be like ok that didn't work let's try something else."
My dude that is not a unique property of D&D. That's true of any pen and paper game. The fact that D&D provides lousy rules for things and we have to stumble around trying to come up with something that works is not a strength
Tbf, D&D is kind of a stand-in for pen and paper games in pop culture
In this case, the DMG has chase rules (p. 253), but they're not really good.
So, it has that going on for them?
D&D haters and not reading the official material: name a better duo, I'll wait.
At least it's better than the old star wars rpg chase rules
