[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8223352, member: 23751"] For sure. In some Sandbox games the DM needs to still dangle hooks with whatever items of interest are local to where the PCs are at. In other Sandbox games the DM does not have to do that. Usually when he has one or more very proactive players that set their own goals and go at the world. There the DM is very reactive to player desire. And I'm sure there are other Sandbox varieties. Areas meant for different levels go against what I know Sandboxes to be. In a Sandbox, the world is set up with stuff from low level to high level mixed where appropriate and the PC can go wherever. Take the Forgotten Realms for instance. That world is very in depth and has low mid and high level stuff set out already. A 1st level group can decide to wander into Hellgate Keep or Myth Drannor if they want to. The group will be rolling new PCs if they do, but they can decide to do that. In Waterdeep there will be common thugs on the streets, and vampires. There really isn't a low level safe area to go back to. [/QUOTE]
