[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 8432420, member: 6795602"] I think it's worth pointing out that oftentimes that other 'viable alternatives' have already been rejected by that person/group/community as either requiring too much unliked baggage or the system they are playing doesn't really support those other styles. For example, this thread is primarily about D&D 5e and 5e just isn't capable of running the way other games that have created those viable alternatives do - at least not without heavy houserules. So I think in D&D 5e you'll generally find that play happens on some spectrum between linear and sandbox. I mean... is there realistically any other style of play the D&D 5e really supports? I'm not following this. Typically the 'sandboxers' devalue linear gameplay and even often mistakenly associate it with railroading. Linear Play is a style whose value often does need defended.
