[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6047614, member: 22779"] Because every single supplement, module, whatever I buy from that point onwards has to be crammed with useless to me information and endlessly padded with pointless stat blocks. Stat blocks, I'd point out, that are about a quarter of a page long, depending on what format you want to use. And, I'd point out, your use of the term sandbox here is somewhat misleading. Just because you run a sandbox campaign does not make it any more or less likely that the PC's are going to attack the baker. I fail to see how having a linear versus open ended campaign has any bearing on this. Unless, of course, you simply meant it as a passive aggressive "I don't railroad, so, I need all this information because it might come up" sort of cheap shot. I mean, if a DM is so oblivious to the playstyles of his players that he cannot guess with a fair degree of accuracy whether or not a given encounter is going to be combat or not, I don't know that any system is really going to help here.
