While DnD is mostly pitched as post-Medieval/Renaissance-ish era there is no need for it to be so, and indeed the game is so anachronistic to make even a Rennaisance claim to be dubious. Ebberon of course embraced the whole industrial magitec vibe but what do you think would be fun for a new setting for DnD 2024?
