Indoor plumbing.

Who needs indoor plumbing when prestidigitation is a cantrip, amirite?

Wait, we don't have that? I need to start checking my town maps for outhouses.
Well, according to the Adventure League Forgotten Realm Style Guide, larger cities in the North actually possess stuff like Printing Presses, Papers (probably also news papers if they got a printing press), and Noble Houses have actual running water.

So, I wouldn't be surprised if the more richer/aristocratic style of privileged living within DND would actually having buildings with indoor plumbing that utilizes the sewers and aqueducts. Your poorer villages/out in the middle of nowhere? Ya there's probably a Town Outhouse somewhere.

Hope the line for it isn't too long though.

Most major cities in the Realms do have extensive sewer systems. We see this for the first time I think in Eye of the Beholder.
 


I dunno - I started playing with second edition, and the D&D cartoon show was still way before my time - I didn't even know it existed until I was in college. I don't know if my 90s gaming group was an outlier, but I sort of wonder what the market is they're trying to court.

edit: Then again, I didn't know anyone interested in Spelljammer - we always played Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun, or homebrew - and that seems to have an awful lot of fans around here.
