MODERATORS
Imo core things normal folks do have to be: normal.
Shipping things takes a long time, and is done by caravan or ship. And it takes a long fucking time.
Taverns cost money. Long term places have rent or similar.
If people go on a journey they need supplies.
If people get wounded they take a while to heal, and might get sick.
People have generally (or consistently) normal lifespans, with younger years being fit and ready for anything, and older years slowing down, or not even being able to fight any more.
In my opinion acing those types of things means when you do introduce magic or other fantasy stuff, it is impactful and rare.
