I have a sandbox world that I am running. There are a few adventure sites with hooks and such.
Of course the party just wants to walk in a random direction and explore the area around the village. An area where there is exactly nothing. I'm not really in a position to shift the adventure locations as they are very dependent on already established major land features. Not to mention the land that their village is on is quite literally a barren desert devoid of most everyhthing.
I have random encounters charts so there is that.
Is it dumb to let the party explore and just find NOTHING. Seems boring and weird.
What do you guys do?
