So here's a question.
I'm told there are two definitions for "low fantasy". One is where the setting is a more or less realistic "our world" with no obvious magic and ordinary people and New York and such, which magic intrudes upon. Which overlaps urban fantasy I guess.
The alternate is stuff that's more like traditional fantasy, but magic is rare, and probably way too dangerous to use. Think Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser or to some extent, the Conan books.
