[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 4680775, member: 18280"] IME, more fun and drama arise spontaneously from dealing with a consistent setting than one gains from "planned" fun and drama. IME, this is not a minor difference in both quality and quantity; it is an enormous difference. Cats and dogs. Day and night. Your experience may vary, for a variety of reasons, but I have never seen anyone who could pull off a consistent setting do a better job by choosing to do something else, and I have never seen anyone do even remotely as well with off-the-cuff as I have seen with a consistent setting. A consistent setting, a sandbox, where the PCs are not special snowflakes, is the hands-down winner IME and IMHO. That's been true for 30 years, through several states, and in two countries. I don't expect it will change any time soon. YMMV, of course. I have no interest in "special snowflake" settings, myself, from either side of the screen. RC [/QUOTE]
