: Re: Alternative sources of drama/tension when the setting is low-violence So, I think I might just have turned my fantasy setting into a Saturday morning cartoon. I just, don't want people to die

@Hamaas631

You can take a cue from Joanne Rowling and can create a world that is full of small scale drama and occasional dangers, but for the people who pay attention it is perfectly safe. And then there's an undercurrent of some evil force which may not be causing any deaths yet, but promises to be a danger to the whole world.

There is a lot of drama that does not require people dying. Friendship, love, betrayal, envy, lust, hate - all of it might be more difficult to write than scary adventures, but those sources of drama are much more common outside of Fantasy genre.
