==Role-playing games== For their own purposes [[role-playing games]] sometimes use a different definition of low fantasy. ''[[GURPS|GURPS Fantasy]]'' defines the genre as "closer to realistic fiction than to myth. Low Fantasy stories focus on people's daily lives and practical goals ... A Low Fantasy campaign asks what it's like to live in a world of monsters, magic, and demigods."<ref>{{cite book|title=GURPS Fantasy|publisher=Steve Jackson Games|last=Stoddard|first=William H.|year=2009|isbn=9781556347962|page=6}}</ref> The book acknowledges the literary definition of the genre with "some critics define 'low fantasy' as any fantasy story set in the real world. However, a real world setting can include the kind of mythic elements this book classifies as high fantasy."<ref name="Stoddard13">{{cite book|title=GURPS Fantasy|publisher=Steve Jackson Games|last=Stoddard|first=William H.|year=2009|isbn=9781556347962|page=13}}</ref>
