There was definitely some conscious DnD influence on SLARPG and its brand of fantasy. It was intentionally designed to be that flavor of fantasy, but with a cartoonier aesthetic and a modern setting and a focus on anthro characters, before swerving into various other directions. Though I've never actually played DnD! Or really any tabletop RPGs, aside from a few sessions of Pathfinder. So really it's mostly from me listening to a ton of The Adventure Zone: Balance early in development (which I would cite as a major influence), and also indirect influence through other fantasy things descended from DnD, like Warcraft and early JRPGs and whatnot.
