[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 5040998, member: 15651"] I wanted to emphasize the bolded portion. I played in a sandbox campaign with a DM who spent a considerable amount of time plotting out everything that was happening in the world; politics in nations we would never visit, guild wars we would never be involved in etc. As players we heard all kinds of hooks to the point where we honestly could not make a decision as to what to do. Eventually we made the mistake of following a hook we had heard over and over, mistakenly applying metagame thinking that the reason we heard so much about it was the DM was well prepared and wanted us to follow the hook. Turns out it was an adventure that we were about 8 levels below where we needed to be to have a chance at survival, but we had no information indicating this might be the case. After the TPK, there were so many bad feelings towards the DM, someone else had to take over. [/QUOTE]
