It’s all edges and very little middle.

Magitech works well in D&D and doesn’t need extra rules. And you can still tell stories that are culturally modern. The first adventure in Keys from the Golden Vault features a heist from a modern looking museum (complete with animatronic dinosaur) during a swanky American-style fundraising...

It doesn’t matter if it’s likely to succeed or not. Players are going to try it, because it’s the sort of thing that happens in stories set in the real world. And if the players want to do something, you are going to want to have rules to determine if it works or not. You might be able to wing...

If I remember, she traveled to Eternia by spaceship, and Adam is born and raised on Eternia.

The original movie? Orko was too deemed expensive to do the FX for in 1987. He isn't separate from the rest of the IP. Budget was also the reason for using mostly real world settings plus one interior Castle Greyskull set.

Yep, when I temporally moved an AD&D party into the real world back in 1st edition days, I converted the party to a superhero ruleset (Golden Heroes) rather than try to use AD&D rules in the real world. And it worked really well, I was pretty accurately able to reproduce the PC's abilities...

How fast is the pickup? How much damage does it do if I ram it into the dragon?

Try running it and see what happens. You said you didn't want any extra rules, so you could just use your home town or someplace else you are familiar with as your location.

If you want something set in our world, just go ahead and run it, there are thousands of setting books already written.

Neon Dynasty is the only thing in this line WotC might potentially do. Que all the people coming to say "when I said a new setting, that's not what I meant!"

They are somewhat deadly for 2nd level characters.

Yeah, this looks promising.

It's a very big subject, you would need to read up on it if you are not a trained scientist. But the most important thing is clarity about how you derived your results. Note that you don't actually need to justify your results being meaningful or significant, you can leave that up to the readers...

Then my feedback is, it's usefulness depends on how scientific it is. Treated as a scientific paper, it could be very interesting/useful. Without that, it's just random dots and lines.
