You are competing with television, movies, incredibly intricate and well-crafted video games, books, sports and any number of a bazillion other things that someone else can do with their time.All campaigns between 1st and 5th level are pretty much low magic campaigns anyway. If you can hold the attention of a group of people, week after week, and design interesting and challenging roleplaying and combat encounters, then you're a kickass DM. It doesn't matter if you shower your group with magic items or make them crawl through the mud for a +1 dagger.There are simply different challenges in designing games in high magic and low magic campaigns. People who run low magic campaigns have simply chosen a different set of challenges.</blockquote>
