D&D General Faerun '68 (+)

You could tie Thauma-fuel to FR and say that it is a rediscovery of heavy magic from the age of Netheril. Perhaps cities are powered by the rediscovery of mythallars that run all of the little magical devices that make life worth living in 1968. Even cars that run on heavy magic when outside cities change over to mythallar power when entering a city.

I was thinking of mass transit, with planes to move the masses around Faerun, but I wonder if a more magical transit system would be a portal network.

I also thought of the Waterdeep underground, a subway system but that might run into trouble with Undermountain.

The Xanathar is still a crimelord, but I really want the latest iteration to be some sort of mafia-styled crimeboss.

If the nations are at relative peace, what would their version of the Olympics look like? The Lathanderan Games (apparently his church sponsors athletic competitions), but with so many different races throughout Faerun there might be some advantages and disadvantages between races (dwarves probably aren't going to win any 100 metre dasches and centaurs should probably be disqualified from competing). I can imagine it being a little like the Laff-a-lympics by Hanna Barbera.

Yes! I can see airships all over the place for local transit, but the equivalent of international airports is public portal hubs. Rich people and wealthy corporations have private portals akin to private jets, but perhaps there was never a need to develop an airplane as we know it.

I like the idea of Waterdeep subway being built partially in cleared sections of the Undermountain. These would probably be 2nd or 3rd generation tunnels by now, with older ones reclaimed by monsters and causing the occasional ruckus.

If there’s an equivalent of cars, then there are racing teams. The structure probably evolved from the more traditional hypogriff races, and so racing teams are still referred to as aeries…
