[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8238117, member: 85555"] When I run a sandbox I usually feel like I am engaging the players ideas. I don't like running a game where I am the one bringing the adventures to the party. I want them helping to shape the overall campaign concept with the choices their characters make. The players don't have mechanisms that are formal for shaping the campaign, but I am very open to what the players are trying to do within the setting and enabling the campaign to go there. If they suddenly want to be bootleggers, I am happy to roll with that. If by this though, you mean the players are the ones introducing that isn’t the point. Living worlds are there for players to explore but the world should move around them do it has a life if it’s own that they sense as they explore. It is something that makes choices so important in play (the players need to know that Aqel-Gabod would be invaded whether they went there or not: but their still participants in the living world like the NPCs and still the campaigns focus [/QUOTE]
