The railroad would come in during the actual game sessions. Can the PCs leave the plot and go elsewhere? Can they subvert the plot and join the villain? Could they decide halfway along that instead of killing the villain, they want to capture him and put him on trial? Is there enough flex in the written material that the DM can handle at least some of thse options without panicking? Because, really, railroading is done by DMs who feel threatened or overwhelmed...</p></blockquote><p></p>
