D&D 5E Your wishlist for fantasy adventure beyond medieval Europe

[DammitVictor]

Yeah, I will go ahead and nth Spelljammer, my favorite campaign setting, either in its classic form or a more steampunk variant. Even if a more technologically advanced Spelljammer would be awfully similar to one of my own projects.

Not a fan of the title, but I am a fan of the concept of Oriental Adventures, with classes and races and spells and monsters inspired by East Asian folklore, and hopefully a new fantasy martial arts system that could be incorporated into other non-traditional campaign settings. Would like to see more of the same applied to other non-European cultural milieus. Especially pre-Colombian South America and the Indian subcontinent, though if a whole series of these were to include fantasy Sub-Saharan Africa and fantasy North America and the fantasy Pacific Islands... I'd be on board.

I would also love to see an updated form of Urban Arcana, and though it's pushing the boundaries of "fantasy", Gamma World​.

Prehistoric settings. Mammoths, "quest for fire", multiple human species... Add magic andsurnatural (spirits, gods...) and done !

I tried to make one, we played a little in it and had a lot of fun, but it was so much work for me...

For those that said Al-quadim or Arabian Nights, what kind of mechanical/5e specific stuff would you require? I'm working on a setting/game that partially covers those regions but it will be another system/system neutral. You can answer in private not to derail the thread.

Star Wars-like space opera.

 

[Mercurius]

Non-Earth analogs, meaning not "fantasy China" or "fantasy Arabia" but an actual fantasy land that doesn't have a clear one-to-one analogy with an Earth culture and time period.

Well, I don't really feel like they've gotten "Medieval Europe" quite right yet, so I haven't even thought about moving on to other cultures.

Call me when the rules finally do justice to a Medieval/Renaissance European-style setting and once I'm satisfied with that, then maybe I'll feel like looking in another direction.

Mythical India, mythical persia, mythical Silk Road.

That's lovely. You should start your own thread about it.

Since when has D&D been medieval Europe? I want an actual medieval European inspired setting.
