Standard Fantasy (Avoiding too much epic magic, gods influence limited, but still fantasy) What we have now.
Gritty Fantasy (more moral grey, sense of decay or desperation, decline of civilization) Think Greyhawk, Darksun type settings
High Fantasy (Epic quests, influence of gods – Standard Forgotten Realms setting)
Dark Fantasy (focus on horror, villains have won) Ravenloft or Darksun
Noir Fantasy (sense of war, lingering threats remain, civilization feels fragile) Eberron
Epic Fantasy (there are HEROES who battle incredible villains) Dragonlance
