[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1391785, member: 939"] Actually, I prefer campaigns that involve world-changing and such, magic or not. But what I described was based on many posts I've seen here over the years by DMs who complain about how things "just aren't fun" after players get spells over 2nd level in power and players get over 4th level - so that would also exclude your little scenario - they'd never have money for armies and would have been retired 10 years real time before reaching 36th level. Basically, low-magic has been a code-word for "low powered campaigns with no magic, little money, and where characters need to retire after reaching 4th level because then they start to get "too powerful." At least in my experience - as Hong has repeatedly pointed out, there are Dinosaurs who have trouble remembering when this topic was first discussed. (Not that it is a reason NOT to talk about it - obviously, there is room for discussion or people wouldn't keep posting about it - and also one must allow for the fact that new people join the gaming and online community every day - and it really is new to them - who are we to stifle that just because we joined earlier?)
