I'll have more in the morning, but I do not endorse the idea that lore/setting is story or that all GMs are storytellers.

There is nothing snobbish about sandbox. And I am not framing it as elite. I included what you do as sandbox too because to me, sandbox...

And we're lucky you're here to let huge swathes of people in the hobby know they're wrong. All you're doing is overtly attacking the...

Even linear adventures often don't predict what the players will do. I remember I had a Ravenloft module that listed off the things the...
