D&D (2024) Deborah Ann Woll and Matt Mercer consulted on the 2024 DMG.

WotC consulted with celebrities including True Blood's Deborah Ann Woll and Critical Role's Matt Mercer when revising the upcoming 2024 edition of the Dungeon Master's Guide. Apparently another (unnamed) consultant provided advice on running game for kids.

That's it; that's the news.

This post makes literally no sense in regards to the subject. Do you or do you not pick a ruleset that better facilitates the kind of game you want to run? Why or why not?

Then you aren’t reading to understand. Sorry.

If a D&D campaign has a heavy investigative element (both thematically and mechanically), that doesn’t messily mean that a game built for investigation is better for that game than D&D. Because the D&D game Likely also has other elements that any given other game won’t have. So the game that accommodates investigation and XYZ other stories/playstyle is better for that campaign.

You may not have noticed or may have forgotten, but my first comment was that many/most of the social media posts and such I see saying “x system would be better for this game than D&D” are cases where the thing the commenter is focused on isn’t the only focus of the game, and x system doesn’t accommodate the other things that game is about.

I've never watched Deborah Ann Woll. Is she fun to watch run a game?

Yes, I recommend. Delightful, in fact.
