[QUOTE="rounser, post: 2960599, member: 1106"] No, because railroading isn't about being tied to a specific place in my definition of it; it's control over the course of the campaign in terms of which adventures occur. You can railroad in Undermountain (by my definition) by saying "we're playing Stardock, then the Lost Level, then Maddgoth's Castle" and as a DM making sure it's so. Being locked into Ravenloft when the campaign's set there isn't railroading by my definition; that's just the chosen setting. Forcing the PCs into [i]Feast of Goblyns[/i] as their only possible course of action while in there is. As I've said earlier in this thread - I'm discussing railroading at the campaign arc level, of which adventure occurs next, not in terms of the finite area of a dungeon or setting. By that measure, I'm sure that not even all the infinite planes would satisfy someone's strange definition of railroading as "any DM-imposed restriction whatsoever", which you again seem to be hinting that you believe in, and as we've covered earlier in the thread is a furphy.
