    or lets put this in a different perspective, the RPG is simply an player controlled book. when you read a book would you skip the few pages that tells of an adventurer that rides a flying contraption and the feeling and scenery?
    But by the same token... Would you think it's good writing to read that same passage, every time they did it? Basically, in good story telling once you establish that something fantastical is commonplace within your universe it ceases to aid the story to dwell on it. It is the bad Dungeon Master that feels it's neccesary to say "... And you're walking, and walking, and walking... You arrive at the "GATES OF NORRGASH" and are attacked by 7 orcs, roll for initative!"

    Also watching treadmill scenery go past more than once loses it's charm... Quick.
