[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 9657952, member: 6785785"] I never said that a dungeon crawl and a sandbox are the same. No, I'm talking about the game that people play at the table. Not the game system. The actual game being played. GM's design and construct all manner of things to actually play the game. If they don't, then there is no game. You need to stop telling other people what they know. I pointed out the contradiction because, as I said earlier, I sometimes don't even know if he realizes he's doing it. So yeah... I found it relevant. The town is what the GM makes it. The town doesn't exist, it's an imaginary thing that (in this example) begins as the GM's creation and then is shared with the players. If you want the players to engage with things within the town, then you need to provide things within the town.
