Message: <blockquote data-quote="AlViking" data-source="post: 9670256" data-attributes="member: 6906980"><p>There's a big difference between linear and railroad.  Railroad is quite a negative description of an authoritarian GM who micromanages everything the players do.  No decision the players make really matter, if they are allowed to make any decisions at all.  A linear campaign dictates the general outline of the game but doesn't force specific decisions and doesn't rely on quantum ogres that give only the illusion of decision making.  There are lines with linear campaigns and you're expected to color between them, a railroad gives you the one crayon you have to use to trace a predefined outline.</p></blockquote><p></p>
