I really should think up a title

He sold his soul.

As in, he literally fucked up so bad last time he sold his soul to an arch lord of the underworld.

Were Kidd and Wint biting on an existing trope, or is this the primary cultural contribution of that entire film?

The team said Moriarty will be a “modern reinvention of the crime procedural, based on the most famous villain in all of detective fiction.” Moriarty is a Professor of Criminal Psychology at Durham University but leads a secret double life as the mastermind behind every crime of sophistication in the North of England. When a rival criminal begins an assault on his underground empire, Moriarty will have only one choice: to join the police as a consultant, using the law as a weapon to dismantle his foe while keeping his true identity hidden from the police. Paired with Detective Imogen Burrows, a stoic Yorkshire detective, they’ll form a fearsome team, but Moriarty will soon realize that the real threat isn’t the rival criminal faction he’s dismantling.

So it's that Blacklist show but with a Sherlock Holmes coat of paint?

While the idea of "eccentric character solves crimes with regular detective/cop" has been done to death, the concept that the "eccentric consultant" is actually on the supply side of crime (like Hannibal) and that the big bad could actually be Sherlock Holmes dismantling his operation could be really funny.

The dramatic irony of the seemingly super-intelligent villain who is always five steps ahead of the hero (like the Light in Young Justice, Moriarty in Moffat's Sherlock, or Hannibal in Hannibal prior to the cops working out that he was actually the one eating people and turning others into serial killers) actually IS THE HERO in this scenario, could be a fun twist.

Although admittedly considering how there have been multiple publicised cases with the cops in the UK where it turned out that they were working with high profile gangsters and were willing to turn a blind eye to literal murder if they kept sneaking the cops info on their rivals (one case in Scotland relating to the Glasgow Ice Cream Truck Wars had a guy bring up how he'd been framed by cops working with a prominent gangster, which was true, only for the judge to call him a brazen liar as he considered such an idea to be ridiculously insulting to the police force), I'd argue they could have just had Moriarty's criminal activities be known to those high up in the regional police force but with his operating as a "supergrass" giving him immunity from prosecution.

Then that's not Moriarty, that's Deacon Brodie, the partial inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of DrJekyll and Mr Hyde"

Moriarty was a professor of mathematics, and one who had to quit even that job due to dark rumours about his activities. He had no public connection with crime in any way, that was the main part of his camouflage.

This does sound like quite a fun series conceit, but I am really not seeing it as Moriarty in any part of the description.

But I feel I should make clear that D&D the game itself is not exactly at fault here: like, okay, it is sort of at fault in the sense that it is a game of fantasy killing people with swords and magic. And it is easier for people to accept the killing with people with swords and magic part when they can imagine that their characters are at least to a degree justified. That is sort of just built into the game (and the game has built into its lore varying levels of making the fantasy of killing certain types of guy justifiable).

But D&D is not at fault for making people go "okay so it's bad when you kill orcs simply because they're orcs. It's better when you kill people who are bandits, who are a class of evil criminals where killing them is actually wholesome and sensible." Like, yeah, most people probably don't think about it that deeply, but the reason people don't think about it that deeply is ultimately ideological.
