[QUOTE="Emberashh, post: 9319016, member: 7040941"] Well that depends entirely on why the Players are travelling somewhere. Sometimes, they might just be out in the Outlands specifically to screw around. Its a sandbox game, the adventure is what you make of it. There will be things going on in the world that will spill out into grand adventures if they decide to pull on them and go down the rabbit hole, but that same content is just as likely to become an NPCs grand adventure if the Players want to be Bakers or just roam around bullying the countryside or whatever. Its a sandbox game, the adventure is what you make of it. A philosophy that props up the whole concept is that Agency doesn't exist if failure isn't possible. Your choices matter because the world isn't going to put grand adventures to, say, put an end to the tyranny of the pirate ship Sailorman's Beware just because you want to do something else first. I also think you're reading too much into my casual use of "side adventure" in the specific quote. Synonyms here are attractors, distractions, diversions, short cuts, loopdiloops, and so on. I don't believe I asserted that at any point. In fact Im pretty certain I never even implied it. But it has been a long day so who knows, Im sure you can quote the offending text. [/QUOTE]
