[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8713621, member: 67338"] in 15ish years of REALLY trying to be sandbox, and maybe closer to 20 if you count loose attempts. the hardest thing I have had is 'training' people to think about what they want not just my story... MY best games have gone into crazy I never would have dreamed when I started it directions... but even now with players that have all been with me for at least most of 5e, I find I still have some that fall back on only being reactionary... I find that as a game grows, as the sessions go by though they start to grab something that I gave them as a very basic hook and make it into there own... Sometimes it's just a passing discription of a bandit that catches them, sometimes its a rumor I made up on the spot, sometimes it's an NPC I had detailed one way but they made an assumption and are running with it and show intrest so I change the NPC...
