Hello, I have an idea for a total variation on the 5e franchise that I'd like to propose. Instead of having characters that are normally from the universe in which dnd is set, why not have, up to a group, of people from the modern world? The catch, is that they all were basically transported (either by time travel, inter-dimensional travel or a combination of both) to a world with all the trappings of a dnd world, without them being able to prepare beforehand. As such, they basically only have themselves, and whatever minor possessions (if any at all) that they were carrying. The same classes/backgrounds etc. could be used, as well as the races (justified by the idea that some of the obviously all-human group might have been transformed in between worlds or something - this would be up to the players of course). I think, given the interactions and many possibilities that could taken thereof, this could be a very interesting campaign. My own idea for a character would basically be a regular guy (that plays dnd) and has a lot of nerdy interests in history/sci-fi/fantasy etc.
