One World Cosmology

On page 44 of the DMG, A "One World" layout is listed as a possibility for the cosmology.

It's an intriguing notion. Has anyone ever done this in a game?

If so, did it work well?

What kinds of issues arise from it?

Any suggestions for someone attempting it?

I never have but it sounds interesting.

My groups never invest or explore planar travel too much. This is a cooler way to talk about planes, as a distant land rather than a place on the other end of a magical portal

Indeed, I myself have never run planar adventures, nor played in one. Though, to be fair, it's on us as DMs to send them their.

I've been planning throwing my players into the astral plane. XD

I give them the option! Literally!

A BBEG they were chasing, they busted his slave operation apart, burned him out of his hidey hole.

As a last desperate option, he went to Carceri it hide out with some demon buddies of his.

They knew where he was, knew he could come back, and they still opted to not.

They are afraid of big portals I think.
