[QUOTE="amerigoV, post: 6263303"] I agree with this (and the person that called LoTR Epic Fantasy). FR changed the scale dramatically. For example, I seriously doubt old Butterbur had a +1 longsword laying around to give them hobbits if they would just go fetch Nob from the stables like an L1 FR module would. (an exaggeration I know, but it does seem like an inordinately high number of farmers and innkeepers have a magic items lying around the house just waiting for an adventurer to come along in FR). For me, Greyhawk kinda fits that middle ground only because my formative years associated with GH was 1e. Our group tended to play in the L1-10 range under that system, and not tons of "level appropriate" magic items (well, there was that one incident with Hammer of Thunderbolts in a random treasure pile, but the DM x'd out a lot of treasure tables after that... :)). I would be curious if those that started playing D&D under 3rd edition would have the same view. [/QUOTE]
