The DM makes the world, the players make the story. However its true most players will just sit around and do nothing- but thats because they aren't motivated enough (or because thats what they want since there are satisfied atm)And by motivation I mean positive motivation, not terrorizing them or "hurting" them. Don't give a cookie just to take it back, instead show them the cookie and tell them where its hidden...suddenly they want a cookie, and they go after it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> (I don't commend on the ongoing rule-setting-whatever argument, since I think you mostly agree anywayz <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> )</blockquote>
