I did a post on this not too long ago, stating the 10 things about the D&D world as we know it. IIRC they were01.) Alignment is concrete and knowable02.) Monsters and myths are real and live near you03.) Adventure is the quickest route to personal advancment04.) Adventurers are a recognized element of society05.) Gods are real and can talk to you.06.) Mages and priests can make a living selling magic07.) The dead don't always stay dead.08.) There are 100s of sentient races, some geniuses compared to mortal man09.) The afterlife is real and you can visit it BEFORE death10.) Ancient treasure lies in inhospitable places waiting people to come and claim it.Now, D&D assumes most of these in one form or another. Changing them radically changes assumtptions in the core rules. Not that it is a bad thing, but it creates an image of a society far different than the one we live in...</blockquote>
