Playing Shadow of the Demon Lord as High Fantasy, possible?

I like the look and feel of the SOTDL rules set and am really tempted to dive in and purchase it but I had one question. How easy is it to play a campaign in a more DnD like high fantasy world? I read a review on Amazon that you don't have to play the gritty, "death is everywhere" default setting and can home-brew a setting in it. How easy is that to do? What supplements might be needed?
