How do you know when your world has the right amount of fantasy stuff to populate it?
One of my settings is on the lower side of Fantasy. There are 2 or 3 distinct spell-casters. There are two major time periods in the world. One where 'giant cloud gods' ruled and magic was just everywhere, and a modern time where giants are made of stone and trapped underground (statues).
The modern period has magic-users, but no supernatural threats to pit them against. Maybe monsters made by the giants still exist, or the giants can psychically affect/control people. Maybe the land around giants have weird magic that causes all the animals to have weird magic properties.
My magic users are very limited in what they can do. So sometimes it feels like there isn't much "Fantasy" going on.
