[QUOTE="Reprisal, post: 210093, member: 1161"] Ken Hood! Thanks hong, I forgot that one! :) I've not taken a look at any modules (ever, heh), so I'm not sure if I could really have any take at the example of RttToEE. But, usually, when I think of things in relation to Grim & Gritty and (Whatever it's opposite is, :D ) I think more in terms of comparison to how each person stacks up to another person. You refered to the [i]dungeon[/i] as a meatgrinder, but I think that doesn't necessarily make it "Grim & Gritty." For all I know, RttToEE could be epic in scope, and the epitome of heroic high fantasy. I think... (gathering thoughts)... that both Heroic High Fantasy and Grim & Gritty Fantasy are both very much a state of mind. I don't think that degrees of magic, or the frequencies of dragons and unicorns, have very much to do with whether or not something is HHF or GGF. It helps, but seems to be more of a correlation rather than that of a cause and effect. I dunno, referring to HHF and GGF as two opposing camps seems very conflictual and very unnecessary. *Think Think Think* I'll think about this some more and post later. :cool: [/QUOTE]
