DnD is tons of fun. You know what the best part about DnD is? Playing it your way.

My family doesn't play the premade campaigns, we either make our own or just go adventuring for the hell of it and see where we end up. We've killed gods, done somersaults off the noses of dragons, conquered entire kingdoms with our undead armies, and it's just pure fun.

It's enjoyable to leave your character's life to the roll of a dice. The excitement when you confirm that critical hit (x3 damage on war axes, woo! Barbarians doing 100DMG at level 10 easily with the right spell buffs), the feeling when you failed that crucial Fort save and your party has to race to save you.

DnD is only generic if you let it be generic and refuse to try anything new. If you stick by the scripted story of the mass produced campaigns that are released in the Dragon Magazine, and never go off the rails and explore somewhere else. If you make the same character over and over again, and never try a new class or build.

For someone who never played it, you seem to have quite the opinion on DnD, Someone. And I wonder how valuable that opinion actually is when you admitted yourself, you haven't played it. I'm guessing not very.
