[quote=@Dynamo Frokane] Expansive, would this be fantasy in terms of elf, dwarf and hafling races? [/quote] [@DeadBeatWalking] I want to know this as well. [hr] DeadBeat called this Low Fantasy, but as some of you probably know, that's a little vague. Primarily because there are two main definitions of "Low Fantasy" floating around the internet. [u]Low Fantasy definition numero uno.[/u] The first is almost identical to any other fantasy, but magic is weaker or rarer. This would allow elves, dwarves, etc. Just so long as they don't go using magic to fly, or summoning giant snakes, or anything of the such. Magic is there and magic is used regularly, but it's not world-shockingly powerful or unfair. A good test for this is to ask yourself: could a nation with [i][b]no [/b][/i]magic or non-humans survive... or even "win"? If the answer is yes, but non-human nations exist and magic is still a regular thing, then it fits into this definition of Low Fantasy. [u]Low Fantasy definition numero... uh, two.[/u] The second definition is more extreme, and is usually found in hardcore history buffs who just occasionally read Game of Thrones: there are only a few races other than humans, and they are normally distant or uncommon. Used only as occasional plot devices. Furthermore, the culture in this sort of LF is highly based on real cultures, especially medieval feudalism. It's basically a medieval fiction but sometimes someone uses [u]really [/u]limited magic strictly for the sake of plot development. I've seen Low Fantasy RPs and nations using both of those definitions, and both can be fun/successful, but it still matters a lot what the GM has in mind when he/she tells us we'll be a Low Fantasy RP.
