[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7558503, member: 85555"] I am on a phone so can’t redpond to every point. The last part is just a reiteration of prior points you’ve made. So will focus on first part: 1-I wasn’t just talking about sandbox, I was talking about sandboxes where the method of adjudication is the one under fire in this thread. 2-you are still just asserting things based on your experience. I have been playing since 86, I’ve games st all kinds of tables, using all kinds of systems. I’ve run games with local people, run convention games, played at stores and run numerous online games with people in different countries. I haven’t seen any more dissatisfaction with this approach than I have with adventure paths, narrative games, etc. people have preferences and sometimes encounter table play they don’t like. 3-Our experiences here are just very different. I know many GMs successfully running this kind of campaign. One reason I like it, is it tends to work well over the long haul. 4-I am ok lots of different online gaming communities. You see all kinds of complaints about all kinds of styles online. I can’t say I have seen more complaints about the style in question than I have about any other. Different online communities have different tendencies. However at enwotld, on this subject there really only seems to be a handful of posters who regular post about it. I think it can create a distorted impression of the reality if you rely too much on online impressions (especially when some discussions are propelled by a small number of dedicated participants). 5- I don’t think I am suffering from any more selection bias than you are. Please stop attributing things to me you can’t possibly know. [/QUOTE]
