[QUOTE="Spell, post: 2503135, member: 19718"] i see your point, BUT, if the majority of the warhammer games tend to gravitate towards low magic adventures in a civilised setting (be it the Empire, Bretonnia, or what has you), wouldn't it accurate to say that the "flashy" (*) element in warhammer is tuned down a lot? (* i didn't negate the fantastic side of warhammer, because, well, even mundane opponents like orcs, or goblin [I]are [/I]fantastic... they come from (sometimes twisted or amended) real world mythology, after all! my point was that the "flashy" element was not present. with flashy i mean larger than life, awe inspiring (as opposed to horror filling), glossy, neat, quasi-human despite the looks... what i mean is: D&D: a dragon!!! let's toast it, save the village and have the treasure!!! c'mon babe, daddy needs that new +2 sword! Warhammer: a dragon!!! RUN!!!!!! (well, for that matter, with some nasty GMs i've talked with ,it would be: "a goblin!!! AAAAAAAARRRGH!!! RUN!!! :D) of course it does vary from campaign to campaign, but if you compare the general tone of, say, dungeon adventures, or D&D fan sites, to that of the average warhammer adventure or fansite, you can still trace some kind of general conclusion.)
