	Epic Fantasy and High Fantasy, the same or different? - Absolute Write Water Cooler
		High Fantasy - Extremely character-driven fantasy that often focuses on a greater good rather than the well-being of the characters.
		It would explain a lot of things, such as why we see 500+ page epic fantasy books when the typical length of fantasy is supposed to be about 70,000 words.
		i've always considered high fantasy to be more fantastical with more cliched characters.

	High Fantasy HERO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		High Fantasy is an exciting subgenre of Fantasy which is particularly well suited to Role-playing games.
		High Fantasy's most notable defining characteristic is the sheer volume of accessible magic available to the protagonists, called the Player Characters (PCs) in gaming parlance.
		High Fantasy characters tend to be bigger than life and much more powerful than any normal person could every hope to be.

	High Fantasy : a Definition - sffworld.com
		According to John Clute, from The Encyclopedia of Fantasy, High Fantasy is 'Fantasies set in otherworlds, specifically secondary worlds, and which deal with matters affecting the destiny of these worlds'.
		The main point here seems to be that High Fantasy is that which deals with matters affecting some sort of global destiny.
		high fantasy is fantasy where there is a major plot driving quest with not so many subplots.

		Fantasy would be something like Feists Magician where there is world building but the plot is still mainly all action or intrigue.
		It's all fantasy, sure, but you'd have to be joking to say that there isn't a distinct difference in literary quality between Mervyn Peake and David Eddings (or Gene Wolfe and David Farland or E.R. Eddison and Robert Jordan).
		I would think that 'high brow' means that the quality of the writing is excellent, not the sub-genre that the writing is in.

	Bright Weavings: The Worlds of Guy Gavriel Kay - Scholarship - The High Fantasies of Lawhead and Kay, by John Doherty.
		With High Fantasy entering into Arthurian works the concern over historical accuracy was no longer necessary, and the entire area of Arthurian fantasy was to develop along new lines, until David Gemmell came along and reasserted the need for history to complement the fantasy.
		Kay has written with the Canadian fantasy tradition in mind, but he is notable because he is the first of the contemporary Arthurian fantasists to write solely in the High Fantasy genre, though he sacrifices a lot of the legend to make his novel work.
		One author, David Gemmell, was to follow them into High Fantasy, but he was to reassert the historical elements that Kay and Lawhead had for the most part discarded, and in the latter part of the decade a large number of short stories also appeared with Arthurian themes and characters used in unusual ways.

	Wilson & Alroy on High Fantasy Novels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		A post-modern novel way, way before other fantasy writers dared to be so experimental, this is a self-referential, story-within-a-story yarn about a middle-aged, well-to-do suburban house husband who disappears nightly into random moments of history, accompanied by his platonic lover Etarre, a literal and figurative stand-in for all the unattainable women who ever existed.
		Like so much high fantasy, a coming of age story: young Rodriguez is a nobleman who doesn't inherit his father's castle because his skill with the sword and mandolin enable him to win his own castle and princess.
		It's not high fantasy at all - the story of the fading rulers of a crumbling castle is more a metaphor for the end of the British Empire than anything else - but it's a unique trip.

	Does High Brow Fantasy Exist... - Page 2 - sffworld.com
		High brow, from what I can tell in this topic thus far, encompasses fantasy that can spill over into literature, Jonathan Carroll (Land of Laughs, Marriage of Sticks), John Crowley (Little, Big) Graham Joyce (The Tooth Fairy, Dark Sister) and may be part of the alternative fantasy group.
		High fantasy I always thought of as taking place in a secondary or invented world (Middle-Earth, The Young Kingdoms, Overworld, Nar, Cimmeria, Shannara, etc.), Epic deals with world shaking events.
		I also suspect the person who asked the original question was confusing "high-brow fantasy", which may have been a throwaway term someone used on another thread, with "high fantasy", which people do tend to think of as a subgenre.

	Fantasy: The Unreality
		Contemporary fantasy, also known as modern or urban fantasy, frequently takes a current-world character and plunges her headfirst into a surreal land, such as in the Chronicles of Narnia.
		Unlike low fantasy, where magic is not the focus of the world, high fantasy is driven by characters attuned to their magic.
		Fantasy bends the rules of reality, creating beings and things that none can see in the normal world.

		Creatures with a high Malice rating are hard to frighten or intimidate, easily dominate their minions, and are completely determined to wreak havoc, pain, and destruction.

		The lost level may be automatic, or a failed Wizardry roll may force a roll on that attribute (at the same difficulty as the magical attempt).
		With "High Fantasy Fudge," each Trait level spent allows you to add two levels to these new attributes (increasing one by two levels, or two by one level each).
		Another way of handling a talented youngster would be for the GM to grant a +1 (or +2) level bonus to an inborn Specialty that is highly (or extremely) restricted in scope.

		Anyway, that's why most people think of gunpowder weapons as a high seas thing, cannon balls were very good at going thru wood, and the "special shot" like chains etc. could be fired out of a cannon and rip sails etc to shreds.
		Such weapons could have a high rate of fire, and there is a lot of potential for magically charging the air cannisters.

		Between the list in Fantasy HERO on page 143, or the Equipment Lists from other Fantasy settings, or a custom setting-specific list a GM's might have, there are plenty of available options to choose from to determine the relative monetary costs of various Weapons and Armor.
