D&D General Do THIS, WotC!

A modern day urban fantasy setting for 5E. It's the real world, but with D&D magic. To avoid the culture wars, it should probably be set decades in the past from the present.
Or the future. Imagine a D&D version of Shadowrun where the world became more like a Modern-Day version of Eberron.

We just have to make sure such a setting isn't all like the one in the movie Bright.

They were apparently considering doing that in 2014, with the plan being to label the Core books as "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons"...but discovered during market research that it was a major turn off and people didn't like the idea.

The Basic/Advanced framework probably was always a terrible idea that hurt TSR.
Fans still have PTSD from BECMI and "Advanced" D&D being actually different games . . .

Using the terms "basic" and "advanced" probably wouldn't be a good idea, but a stripped down, simpler version of the game . . . without actually changing the rules . . . would be super cool.

I'd love to see a "Young Adventurer's Handbook" ("Basic" D&D) and maybe even an "OSR Handbook" (same thing, different focus).
