[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9667427, member: 85555"] Yeah it is tough explaining in these threads, especially since I am often defending sandboxes in principle, but not always dealing with what I do at my own table (which is its own thing really). And I think it is harder to talk about your style of play from a defensive stance (everyone is a little more cagey and anticipating potential critiques). I developed a lot of my thoughts running games in sandboxes and being involved in sandbox discussions because I was looking for alternatives to the popular adventure structures for things like D&D in the early to mid 2000s (that was a period where I was running a lot of d20, and there was a strong culture of play around certain kinds of adventures). But if people look at my blog they will see more about what I am talking about. I have whole adventures up there too like the War of Swarming Beggars for Ogre Gate and a series of adventures of Strange Tales of Songling. So that can give people an idea what my prep might look like (keeping in mind it is written for an audience, and my own notes are different because they are written for me). Most of my adventures and GM essays are on the right side of the blog menu (reviews are on the left side). The Wuxia Sandbox essays are probably the best place to start on the blog [/QUOTE]
