The former is about the great lords and unique characters, the latter - which I was referencing - is mainly rat catchers, ex soldiers, disowned nobles and witch hunters. Teclis,  Mannfred von Carstein and Balthazar Gelt don’t get involved with WFRP. As a setting though there is literally a vortex draining magic from the world, coupled with the fact that magic is inherently dangerous and convoluted helps de-magic the setting a fair bit.There has to be a difference between no magic and low magic. A low magic setting is surely one in which magic has substantial less impact on the characters. Either because magic is less effective or less prevalent or both. In D&D most villages of any size have a wizard living in a tower or running an inn somewhere abouts. In WFRP the wizards are hiding from the witch hunters. Or are powerful enough they have the protection of the colleges - far and few between. The core city of Ubersreik has one wizard and he’s a git.I would consider Adventures in Middle Earth a low magic setting for the same reason though taken a degree further. In fact anyone looking for a very low magic setting could do a lot worse than AIME.</blockquote>
