[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5587515, member: 92511"] My dear gentlefolk and assembled sentients... Let us set aside this senseless debate of subjective playstyle. Instead, let us acknowledge our differences and enjoy our respective games. The Sandbox is no more rightgoodfun than the Railroad badwrong. Are you and your players (if you're the GM) or your follows and GM (if you're a player) having a good time? The answer should always (or mostly) be a resounding "Yes!" Consequences, "good/perceived reward" or "bad/perceived punishment" are matters of subjective opinion and individual playsytle perference. The game's the thing! This or that playstyle is neither "right" nor "better" than the other for anyone besides the particular group. The collective "Yes we're having fun" is all that matters. If you prick the Sandboxer, do we not bleed? If you tickle the Railroader do we not laugh? If you poison either, do they not die? I...have a dream. A dream of a thread when the sandboxer and the railroader enjoy their game. A dream of a thread when the 2e player and the 4e player join together with their respective groups and tell us about their good times. I dream of a thread when the "gamist" and the "simulationist" compare notes and laughs, not insults or snarkery. I dream....a dream of a day when the Dragonborn shall lay with the Kender, the Gnome with the Tiefling... A dream of a day when PCs across this great forum of ours, from post to post, shall ROLL THEIR DICE...withOUT prejudgement or accusation. But instead, roll their dice for GLORY...for FUN...FOR NARNIA!...no, wait... For KILLIN' THINGS n' TAKIN' THEIR STUFF or defeating the BBEG and saving the world...or whatever the players AND GM decide will be FUN without declaration of UNfun at other tables! Yes, I have a dream. --Steel Dragons (Pay no attention to that Lead Drake behind the curtain!) [/QUOTE]
