    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    There were no blocked exit points. All that happened was that the tuning forks were stolen. There was no sequence of events. There was only the one event of tuning forks being stolen.

    Let's talk about "plot", "story", and "play to find out."

    That's Annabelle on a bed.

    Perhaps they shouldn't have made Zhentil Keep pay such severe reparations after Realms War I.

    It does, but they probably listen to The Seven Sisters and not The Grateful Dead, who come from Thay along with Szass Tam and the Skeletons.

    Wouldn't well cultured adventurers wield a Walther PPK?

    The Shou sit back on their spelljammers, which they've had for ages, and watch in amusement. :p

    Gondian tech would have advanced considerably.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    Okay. In my opinion that's just silly. I can make an area where minor fire magic doesn't work without it being railroading or stopping more powerful fire spells. A library for instance might want to stop candles and other minor magical fire effects, but wouldn't see a need to stop meteor swarm...

    Oof. Hawkeye and Moon Knight were also both good. My top 5 would drop Moon Knight to 6th I think. Wonderman pushes it down.

    He stopped needing a jetpack once he was fully composed of energy, though.

    After Wandavision it gets tough for me. I loved both Dardevil: Born Again and Loki. Those two are in the same league as Wonderman for me. The reason it's so tough for me is that all three are great for different reasons.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    Yes, that's why I said, "It seems..." ;) You are assuming something that never happened. No magic was said not to work. None. They lost the component to a single spell, but not any other spell. There's zero reason for them to think that no magic would work. They never lost a single slot on...

    He reminded me of Cloak. A lot.

    It didn't replace Wandavision for me, but it was excellent and I agree with everything else you said.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    This I wholeheartedly agree with. It's akin to when they get hung up on an NPC that has no bearing on anything and just won't let it go. Players sometimes get that tunnel vision.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    Okay. In any case, it's still just the theft of the tuning forks. The rest was the result of their choices leading to that point. A theft just isn't a railroad, especially when they have other options available to them. In any case, it seems you resolved it to their satisfaction, so it's...

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    Unless I'm misunderstanding, they knew ahead of time that the cabin lead to the Feywild, and they voluntarily drew the cards from the Deck of Many Things. Those are choices they made that led to the soul being captured and held in the Feywild. The only thing I see you forcing is the loss of...
