Something along the lines of The Black Hack and Heroes & Monsters RPG or even Tails of Equestria. As a separate game line which is compatible or convertible with the usual "complex" D&D. See: <a href="https://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?660097-Narrative-D-amp-D-ND-amp-D-Imagine-if-the-game-played-just-like-the-D-amp-D-novels&p=7621306#post7621306" target="_blank">ND&D (Novellic D&D)</a> and <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/dndphilmont/simple-rpg" target="_blank">SD&D (Simply D&D</a>) and <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?658933-Using-previous-D-amp-D-miniature-games-or-boardgames-to-make-a-simpler-D-amp-D-RPG&p=7598185#post7598185" target="_blank">CD&D (Chainmail D&D)</a>.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The D&D Multiverse is made into a full-blown world-hopping meta-setting via a <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?659867-The-D-amp-D-Multiverse-needs-a-quot-Crisis-on-Infinite-Oerths-quot&p=7616188#post7616188" target="_blank">Crisis on Infinite Oerths</a> storyline, which brings back all the D&D Worlds in a big way, and synchronizes all of the timelines. Everything from Pelinore of TSR Uk, to Mystara, to Council of Wyrms, to Mike Mearl's Nerath, to the world(s?) of D&D Movies (e.g. Izmir), to the Dream World of the Hebrew Basic D&D modules, to the Motherland of the LJN AD&D Action Figures, and QuestWorld of the TSR Endless Quest Gamebooks.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Brings back the Realm of the D&D Cartoon Show as a campaign setting, and the players play themselves! As we escape from the Realm, we explore other D&D Worlds.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Produces gigantic telephone-book sized series of reference works, right out of the gate: Spell Compendium 6E (all the spells from all editions), Encyclopedia Magica 6E (all magic items from all editions), Monstrous Compendium 6E (overseen by ENWorld's Echohawk!)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hires a linguist (e.g. Mark Okrand, creator of Klingonese) to flesh out all of the key languages of the D&D Multiverse.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hurries up and opens up all of the D&D Worlds to DMs Guild fan-publishing.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Let Bruce Heard write the 5E Mystara worldbook, like WotC tapped Keith Baker to write the 5E Eberron book on DMs Guild. Do the same for the other D&D Worlds...tap a team of grognards: for Greyhawk worldbook: A. Grohe, Luke Gygax, and/or Eric Mona.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">As has been done with DMs Guild and the new D&D fan-crafting site, open up a site for fan-authored D&D Fiction (novels and short-stories), D&D Comic Books, and D&D Music.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Alongside the D&D Multiverse meta-setting, each DM is encouraged to build their own campaign setting from the start, instead of shoehorning everyone into the Forgotten Realms. For example, all proper names in the 6E Starter Set are enclosed in brackets: [Phandolin], [Neverwinter], [Oghma], which signals that you're supposed to choose your own name. And there's an appendix in the back with a table of alternate names to randomly choose from, and suggestions for how to invent a name: Like: "For Oghma, write in the name of the God of Knowledge in your world."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Worldbuilders Guidebook is released from the start, which actually reverse engineers all previous D&D settings, so that a DM could randomly roll them up, or a gonzo mixture thereof...or a world with a theme which has never been seen before. Even the campaign setting names and logos can be rolled up: e.g. Dragonhawk, Greylance, The Known Realms, Forgotten Sun, Dark Coast, Hollow Oerth, etc.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Issues an LARP / cosplay D&D rulebook.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Brings back Blackmoor.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Releases the second place winner of the WotC Setting Search (after Eberron).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Open up homemade settings to DMs Guild.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">For a modest fee, DMs can register their world, which then exists as a crystal sphere within the official D&D Multiverse. Otherwise, all DM's campaigns are considered to be a separate Multiverses.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Include James Wyatt's worlds in the D&D Multiverse, and also the other worlds of past and present TSR designers. E.g. John Eric Holmes' "World of Peril."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Release an Atlas of the D&D Multiverse which shows a world map for all of the existing D&D Worlds...even if they didn't have a full planetary map before! And which shows the official placement of all existing modules, D&D Fiction, and D&D video- and board-games.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Reduce the cost of the Classic PDFs - and offer cheap bundles/subscriptions which literally include everything ever written for each D&D World. And get it all set up for print-on-demand.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Get print-on-demand fully rolling for DMs Guild fan-writings.</li> </ul></blockquote>
