What is "grim and gritty" and "low magic" anyway?

[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1436467, member: 939"] As I said before, I think there is a lack of total communication here. I NEVER said low magic wasn't fun - I have, in fact, said that I enjoy BOTH low magic AND high magic. Most of what I have been saying is in defense of high magic - and instead you've seen my defense of high magic somehow as an attack on low magic and perhaps on you personally. That is not the case at all. I was merely attempting to indicate why I thought high magic was just as fun and is just as viable as low magic and you instead see that as an attack on low magic - that sounds like a lack of effective communication to me. I can play either high or low magic. I don't see any inherent problems with using either. I am open to both. I get the sense that you really are only open to one - which is fine, but it seems incongruous for you to protest, as if others do not have an open mind about low magic, when you are basically yourself closed to the idea of playing high magic games. I think both can be fun. I think there is no reason both can't work. There is certainly no need to "nerf" (the imaginary "required" "magic arms race") just to play high magic - not unless your version of high magic is just to play low magic dependant plots and then try to make them work in a high magic world.
