[QUOTE="SehanineMoonbow, post: 8195473, member: 7025612"] It would look like Critical Role lol. Also maybe fewer chainmail bikinis. In all seriousness, this is a very interesting question! I am late to the thread (as usual), so I haven't seen all the comments, but I can see some of the points people have made. I think alignment would either be not a thing, or structured differently (someone suggested something like morally light or dark). I think (or hope) "classic" races (elves, dwarves, etc) would still be around, but, like CR, I think there would be more what were hitherto considered "unusual" races, such as tieflings, tabaxi, firbolg, etc. While I am not religious, I would hope they wouldn't shy away from religion and making the existence of the gods fact in D&D. As others said, if it was still polytheistic, I agree with those who have said it would be more likely to reflect real world polytheistic religions, or "pagan" religions (I also hope the afterlife would be a thing). Not sure if we would have actual settings. With the way WotC is treating lore and the settings these days, I think instead of sourcebooks, we would get "guides" of some sort on the "generalities" of various races, some monsters, gods, classes, and tips on making a world. Then again, considering the popularity of Exandria, perhaps this wouldn't be true, as people would still want lore, whether they view it as "fluff" or not.
