[QUOTE="mAcular, post: 7391570, member: 6905524"] Here are a few. * Any sort of "hex crawl" scenario where the main thrust of the game is exploration and treasure hunting. You start in a city as your HQ, and then expand out into the wilderness to see what you can find. When you're done, you return to town. Rinse and repeat. * Any sort of "quest of the week" style of game. You get a mission with a definite end. You go do it. You return to town until your guild or your faction has another job lined up. Or the DM can just make it so every so often something of interest happens. * Any sort of threat that builds slowly and whose end game isn't apparent. There might be a cult out there that's eventually going to do something that ends the world, but for now all you know is they show up in temples and do creepy things every so often. * Anything where the weather forces you to stay home, like the old times in real life. If the winter season is fierce and long, there might be an "adventuring season" and a "hibernation season." [/QUOTE]
