[QUOTE="Mokona, post: 3406741, member: 24891"] I've always used 3rd edition (and now v.3.5) [B]Dungeons & Dragons[/B] for my low magic games. I like the simplification :D provided by [B]D&D[/B] (compared with GURPS :confused: and more realistic systems). It takes some work to modify the current [B]D&D[/B] rules so they're less magic-powerful and I've pushed some of the effort onto my players in terms of their roleplaying. My players do a good job :cool: but I have to watch out for things like DR or certain special abilities on iconic monsters I pull from the [I]Monster Manual[/I](s). :uhoh: As I said above, I'm running an experiment with [B]D20 Modern[/B] rules and it's working ok. Unfortunately there aren't great rules for [B]D20 Modern[/B] in a fantasy setting because [B]Wizards of the Coast[/B] wants/expects you'll use their flagship game. I put almost as much time figuring out character classes, weapon/armor proficiencies, and skills mapping from modern to fantasy as I was spending converting [B]D&D[/B] :( to low magic. What about the [I]Wheel of Time[/I] RPG? Has anyone used that for low magic? :) [/QUOTE]
