> Since the game itself relies so much on atmosphere (the term “grubby fantasy” has been coined, to contrast with “shiny fantasy” which previously dominated role-playing), the world is highly necessary in order to convey that atmosphere.

The term grubby fantasy was coined by the _Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay_ design team in the 1980s, but it never caught on. It describes the sometimes picaresque and somewhat dark world of Warhammer. Since then, the setting has evolved into grimdark but, beneath it all, the grubbiness still lurks.
