Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 6478111" data-attributes="member: 1210">Great!My game is probably closer to the sandbox end of the sandbox ===== story spectrum than most self-described sandbox DMs', based on the kinds of comments and discussion I see on the topic, so I'm probably a good person to answer this. So far my 5e game has been entirely a sandbox, with the pcs choosing their path almost completely (they have ended up obligated to a local church, which gave them a trio of missions, but that's as close to story-driven as I've gotten). They've been pursuing the various agendas and goals of the individual pcs, spent time avenging a mugging in one pc's backstory and trying to track down his stolen pipe, rented a house and hired carpenters to build a goat pen on the roof, and more. They've had easy encounters and extremely hard encounters and everything in between (at one point they fell down a chute trap that dropped them 3 levels in a local megadungeon and had to find their way out- about half the pcs died in that escapade!). So far it has been fantastic fun for everyone.</blockquote>
