The real universe is not a completely open environment for us to play the game of life in - there are limitations like physical laws and such. I may be able to decide whether or not to obey traffic laws, but I sure can't just decide to disobey the law of gravity. As such, any gaming environment created by a DM who exists in a closed environment is going to be, by definition, even more closed.My point here is this: You people would argue semantics with a brick wall. I think we all know what is meant by 'open' and 'closed' in this context without an extensive argument about it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Back on topic, my games seem to tend to work best when I leave them as open as possible (bound, as I am, to the laws of the physical universe <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ), where even I don't know what is about to happen next until right before I begin telling it, and I allow the conversations I hear between the players to lightly influence my thought processes.</blockquote>
