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
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.
