@rdonoghue I played a four year long Spelljammer game where we just took everything in D&D 100% seriously. If it made the world incoherent, we just embraced it.
It was rollicking and weird, hundreds of memorable moments, and so many things in the toolbox. It was wonderful and glorious and fun as hell. D&D is wonderful for that.
I have no insight to add except - yes! It's great!
