I'm an incompetent normal-magic DM--how do I fix it?

[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2951546, member: 22622"] Oh please , Numian sounds "Incompetent". for making that statement. To label anyone an incompetnent is wrong (surprised he's not banned or otherwise). People like different things. I've run high and I've run low and my group far more enjoys the low magic campaign. It's a bit closer to the fantasy world they like to watch on television. To say low magic world's make you a bad DM is like saying Lord of the Rings is a bad set of fantasy movies because there are only 8 spells cast in the entire 14 hour epic. That is what we like to get close to. PLay the game you want and have fun doing it. Don't switch up because of some dude's false impression on waht dungeons and dragons is. Anyone whom tries to push their views on you is just trying to improve their own position. Ironically, I've oftne found new DMs use magic or high magic as a crutch, allowing a monster or npc's abilities to bel imited to that of their magical object/items. They use magic to turn encounters into battles of paper, rock, scissors. YOu'd probably get a lot of inspiration for your low-magic game from the iron heroes books. GREAT set of books for fans of low-magic campaign even if you're not running all of their rules or classes. I agree with what was said, low-magic doesnt have to be no magic. I still have magic, even in my iron heroes campaign. The key is to make magic important and not just another set of weapons. [/QUOTE]
