[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9760951, member: 6684958"] The problem with this vague definition is unless the game is a random sandbox of randomness or all the players are both dming the game and playing the game, you will get things "players did not sign up for" all the time. Humm....so a DM can do anything as long as it is something the players "would accept", even if they don't know about it? Guess that is part of having good players that can "accept things". I'd make it clear the game will be "Unrated Adult" and then run the most grit filled, dark, and evil game beyond most peoples imagination. I'm a big fan of Thay.... Drow too. One of my more Infamous games was a group that really wanted a "beyond dark" Slaves of the Drow game. And they came right to me, as no other DM would do it. And I gave them what they asked for...and they loved it....or loved to hate it. This is still a bit vague. The PCs can get off the railroad, but only for minor things. The wacky thing where the PCs do 2/3rds of an adventure and then say something loony like "weeeee, lets travel 1000 miles away and become pirates for no reason", is not allowed in a Railroaded game.
