[QUOTE="Jediking, post: 6826518, member: 6803126"] My first impression was like a West Marches style game, which I throw into the "hexcrawl" style (maybe erroneously, I have never run nor played in one). There are quite a few sites (The Alexandrian, TheAngryGM, Giant in the Playground) that offer advice from making and filling the map to measuring distance and resources. Anyways, the similarities I see to West Marches (maybe hexcrawl?) are: -PCs start in base/town/HQ, go exploring, find adventure, then return to safety. -There will be resource management in the form of time/food/safety, not just daily class features. -In town, PCs can use their knowledge of what they have found/explored to fill in gaps and reach farther goals. -PCs can choose where they are going, either by selecting a job or region. -You also say the journey could be handwaved or the PCs find a good way to get there. I am assuming that if they find a better/safer way, this path will be a benefit for future expeditions in the same direction. In any case, whether you call your campaign a hexcrawl or sandbox or Bob, it shouldn't matter. Seems like a fun idea, but looking at some ideas for West Marches could help or spark new ideas. Hope it turns out well. [/QUOTE]
