I play Dungeons the Dragoning.

To expand on the point, they're incredibly fun when done right. The important thing is to do the work necessary to keep them relatively consistent. DtD is a bizarre clusterfuck of references and anachronisms, but the genius of the setting is working everything together into a way that is coherent.

Because I don't make arbitrary distinctions between things.

The Super Science the scholar does and the artsy fartsy magic the pajama wearing wizard does and the super human fighting skill of the fighter are all magic applied in a consistant manner.

Make that combined into one single Earth and that's literally the setting for Gamma World 7th Edition.
