But railroading all the same.  It is keeping the players on the path.When you know your group well - you can set it up without them even knowing. The man in the curtain remains hidden.The railroad is just as substantial as it ever was; it is a difference of elegance and style.  I do not mean this in the pejorative or as a criticism. On the contrary, it is artful DMing.But don't kid yourself about what you are doing. Or worse, let detractors think that it cannot be done artfully.</blockquote>
