But the area is literally seeded so that the PCs can go in any direction and seek out something. This is, IMHO, one of the real draws of the Wilderlands setting -- PCs can wander about, involving themselves in all sorts of things.Yeah, that's exactly what I tried to do.....  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> You know, for someone who's worried about people putting words into his mouth, you seem awfully willing to do it yourself.  So what is this, then, misunderstanding or intentional misrepresentation?If one wants to see a classic example of a strawman, one need go no farther than post 135 (<a href="http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2960712&postcount=135):" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2960712&postcount=135):</a>I'll grant that I misread you, and that as a result I misrepresented your opinion.  For which I have apologized.  More than once.  And I meant it.But, I hope you understand why I view your above statements as slightly hypocritical.RC</blockquote>
