[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 9721469, member: 6616"] Ok, I guess it's time for all of us in this thread to jump on the "what is railroading" train! All aboard! :D My most popular published adventures are quite railroady, and I also think that works well for me and my players. Not that we think a lot about it, we mostly run pre-written material so it's kinda implied that some things in the world will happen notwithstanding player or player character actions. The world moves on, and the PCs with it. So we don't sit down and hum and haw about our adventures being railroady, it just ordinary roleplaying to us. Of course, if the player actions make absolutely no difference to anything, we might be a bit miffed. :D But the spectrum between "railroad" and "sandbox" is quite wide, and we will travel back and forth on this spectrum all the time while playing.
