This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Gritty high magic settings?

Quote from: tenbones;880657Without Tekumel there would be no Talislanta. Good call. Same with Glorantha.

Thank you:).
I'd have added Talislanta, too, but I never played in the grittiest parts of the setting, and I'd rather stay with what I can confirm.
Also, the Red Tide setting is post-apocalypsis-in-progress and as magic-rich as any D&D setting;).
What Do You Do In Tekumel? See examples!

Dragon Storm falls into the gritty high magic range too. Things are going really badly. So badly that the common folk think the heroes are the cause of all the problems like people and animal mutating into horrors. Also you have areas where the Tox poisons the land, or areas where nature has reclaimed the land so hard that it can actually harm you just by walking through the region due to the concentrated Od.
