[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1693406, member: 2205"] I think there's emulating sword and sorcery, and then there's emulating myth. For whatever reason that's been lumped together in this discussion, but really -- Fafhrd or the Gray Mouser was nothing like Achilles or Oddyseus. Personally, I prefer something more along the lines of the former than the latter. Interestingly enough, in my session tonight, we talked a bit about this thread, and how my melange of low magic house rules is working. I think, perhaps to the surprise of my players, who are all also DMs at times, that the rules are working out very well, and they're all having tons of fun. At least they say they are, and I'm very happy (with the exception of a few tweaks here and there) with the performance of my crazy house rules. The idea that low magic can't be fun, or doesn't work in the confines of d20, or something like that, quite simply is not jiving with our experience. [/QUOTE]
