[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 4860220, member: 386"] Interesting thread. Would be better if the GNS stuff was dropped. I'm in two games right now... actually three but the third one has barely started, so I'll pretend it doesn't count. In the first one it's site-based sandbox, player driven. The world reacts to the PCs who shake up the status quo. The PCs decide where to go and what to face; since it's my first shot at this kind of game, I've been making the threat level explicit ("this is a 4th-level dungeon"). I haven't really encountered any problems yet. Except players moving away, that sucks. The other game I'd call story-driven. Is there a metaplot? I would say no, it's very character-driven, though everything was set into motion by the actions of an NPC. There's a lot of character "growth" in this game. My character started out looking for vengance after his home town was burned by orcs. Now he's a lieutenant in what's left of the orcish horde. Last session he assassinated the King and kidnapped the Queen. My character has evolved organically due to events and interactions with NPCs. None of us have any idea what is going to happen, and that includes the DM. We just play our characters. [/QUOTE]
