[QUOTE="Frostmarrow, post: 1319220, member: 1122"] A problem I've noticed is supposedly low-magic settings are still shockful of magic. Sometimes even more so than high-magic ones. The thing people seem to be looking for when wishing for a low-magic world magic being fantastic and not common-place. They wish for magic to be around in the hands of player's and DM's but almost unheard of in the hands of NPCs. Now when it comes to Eberron it is labeled as high-magic but there is one interesting thing about it. On the WoTC boards I found this (typed by one Kravell): This seem to imply that PCs will have access to high-magic but most other folks will not. If they (WoTC) sticks to this it might create the feel a lot of the low-magic camp looks for but still allow for fantastic stuff to exist. Still, I'm with you Olgar. I'll judge it when it comes out. I'm not against this DisneyWorld-approach and it can make for a really terrific world - catering to all kinds of tastes. I mean, Indy goes to the jungles of the South America, to the pyramids of Egypt, to a gothic castle in Germany and a whole slew of other interesting places. In D&D everything will of course be exaggerated but it might still allow for anyones particular style. I'm looking forward to a gothic, werewolf, vampire, Ravenloft kind of subpark and if there is one I might never leave - or maybe I'll pop over to the pyramids to fight mummys with the night train. ;) [/QUOTE]
