What would the standard fantasy DnD setting turn into if it changed

I dont know dude. What is the speed of magic and how far is the Sun?

Might take a while for your spell to arrive

Athas arcane magic draws power from the environment and life energy, not the sun iirc.

You'd probably see a rise in Alchemists, Psionicists, or people specializing in regular engineering amongst the smart guys of the world.

Some sort of reverse Dark Sun

>any sufficiently high level wizard would request a magic connection to boccob or create a plane to draw magic from 24/7

One more thing: which DnD races would be most/least likely to survive a sudden coldsnap?

I guess the question is are you setting your game in the time after magic-users have caused catastrophic climate change, or before it?

In the former case I guess you have chilly dark sun and knowing magic is a capital crime everywhere except those places ruled by sorcerer-kings too powerful to give a fuck about what anyone thinks.

In the latter case, nothing changes except you run into the occasional druid who berates you for using magic irresponsibly.

Ice elementals. Maybe dwarves.
