[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8195672, member: 4348"] I think it wouldn't be D&D. It would be something else. With the modern ideas as opposed to the earlier ideas, I think it would not be anything like the D&D we have today. We may not have the CRPG's we have (as they have their root and inspiration from D&D originally, so that entire line would be shut down) them now. More likely it would depend on the age group it was focused on. If it were for a teen age crowd, I imagine it would take a LOT of inspiration from Harry Potter. You probably wouldn't have as many races to choose from. Probably would be something like Muggle or Human, Magic born or something like that, and perhaps Half-Giants. You'd have classes of Witch/Wizard or subclasses thereof, Animal Trainer, and maybe others along that line. However, it would be more based on skills and such rather than attributes, and skills may play a much larger role along with spells (as skills) and such. If for something for older groups, I'd imagine something more in line with the Darker trend fantasy has taken. Probably mostly human based again (as most of the fantasy today is more human rather than any other races). We'd probably have it more purely based on skills rather than any classes, with such things more like you'd see in the Elder Scrolls type games, but on paper. [/QUOTE]
