Getting ready to dive into DCC, love the vibe and can't wait to start playing. A part that threw me a little is the bits in the core rules that talk about it being a small world where most people don't leave their village, and "adventure of 5 miles" and all that. And then you get to where wizards can learn spells and it's these wildly far flung places. There's like gonzo fantasy and low to the ground fantasy and I'm just trying to bridge that gap.

Similarly you're in baronies or areas overseen by a lord and yet there's plenty of abandoned keeps and dungeons to explore. For lack of a better comparison, should I look at this like Skyrim/Oblivion as a starting point?
