Grounded...in...reality...with magic and dragons? Care to elaborate how you mean that exactly?
Yes quite easy. In a world of magic and dragons water is still wet right? People need to eat, people love their families etc. The settings change not life motivations. In a world of magic stuff doesn't just happen because of magic. What do you think an IPhone would look like to someone living in the middle ages?
Let's assume dragons exist. They fly and everything, if this dragon that was the size of a house had the wings of a sparrow would it makes sense that it could fly? Imagination has its limitations.
If someone kills your entire family no matter the reason my reaction would not be, meh. I don't care if there was dragons and magic in the world.
