Just look at discussions on here. People argue endlessly about the definitions of words. Sometimes really important words in the context of RPGs. Like agency, railroading, character-driven campaign, sandbox, railroading, etc. Now apply that to people you’re trying to game with. Tell 5 players you’re going to run a “character-driven open-world sandbox” and you’ll get 37 different interpretations of what that actually means. Actually playing with people is a far, far better way to get on the same page. Not everyone will stick around, players will come and go, but the group will be better for it.</blockquote>
