It puts a lot of pressure on the Players to constantly be coming up with stuff they want to do, which is is creatively exhausting for a lot of Players IME and hard to sustain. And it places severe restrictions on what the GM can include, because it makes them essentially (from my perspective) an employee who works for the players and is discouraged from making a living world (because everything has to relate directly to the Players and their "story"), something which many sandbox GMs greatly enjoy, myself included.If you want what BW offers, and very importantly nothing else ever out of your game, it sounds wonderful. If you want a world to explore and engage with that has a presence outside of your character, or you're a GM who enjoys worldbuilding without having to be exclusively reactive, I'm not sure BW is the best game for you.Again, based on what you're saying here. I've not read or played Burning Wheel.</blockquote>
