I play many ttrpgs but mostly #dnd - started long time ago when AD&D (1e) was the current version. Also play a lot of boardgames.

I am very familiar with D&D, see my bio. I really don't think the D&D rules are a good solution for "whatever you want".

The D&D rules are very focused on combat. It's definitely not all-purpose.

D&D is just one of hundreds of ttrpgs, all different. The post you replied to is not about D&D.
Some ttrpgs are about fantasy and combat, some about science fiction and exploration, some are about mice and survival. There are ttrpgs about almost anything imaginable.

Same.
Then, my party got teleported into another world. I asked the players to now write a backstory.
One of them "wrote" one for his and his wife's characters... using ChatGPT.
Guess what: it came up with the story of Dragons of Stormwreck isle, including the names of places and npcs 😭

This sounds like it is not what you want, or even what you expected.
Try find people to talk to about your feelings and desires. Maybe in your ttrpg group ?
Hopefully your husband supports you on this?

On the other hand, it is so good to play games as a part of raising children.
I did stop playing ttrpgs for a while, but restarted later. It is such a delight to play games with my children. One of them is even in my ttrpg group, now.

Amazon won't let me buy the e-book because they won't "ship" this book to the Netherlands. Luckily their local competitor could ship it without any problem 🤯

That's is a very american post. AI slop is a worldwide problem, but many cultures do not have restaurant staff depending on tips, so the argument gets lost there.

In the last week, there have been a few almost-collisions between civilian airplanes departing from Curaçao and US military planes that have their transponders switched off. It's definitely not a safe situation around there, even outside of Venezuelan territory.

how about free object interactions,
talking during your turn (or just anytime if your dm lets you),
and crying as a free action?

no, dnd re-imagined an existing christian ritual. in general, dnd took very many christian practices, biblical monsters, and stories, and mixed all into a game that some people then a few years later called satanic
dnd started in 1974, chtistianity a few centuries before that
