[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 8996731, member: 48965"] I can't argue what you think. But if you give me two options and examples supporting both options without explicitely telling me the process is A or B... I think looking at it as a choice (especially sense the general rules support this) is exactly what the options are supposed to be. All I can say is that I've run off the cuff games of 5e without all this extraordinarily heavy prep being done... and I'd wager I'm not the only one. SO I guess our experiences differ. Just to be clear... because you need something doesn't mean everyone needs it. As I stated earlier I've never run a pre-made adventure, I usually create my own monsters and homebrew my setting and I doesn't take excessive prep... unless I want to spend alot of time on it. As to the "railroad" comment... plenty of people run sandboxes, hexcrawls and point crawls using 5e that aren't railroads so I'm not sure where this idea is coming from either. Actually I think it touches on something I said before... there is this contingent of non/occasional D&D players who seem to think D&D play is defined by pre-made adventures being run as rigid railroads... when that's not the case. Of course they can continue to believe that and there's nothing I or anyone else can do to dissuade them but I'd suggest if people are saying they run the game differently... perhaps you should believe them. Could GURPS be used to run a dungeon crawl, a homebrewed game and a railroad adventure? If not why? If yes...but how? [/QUOTE]
