[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7370795"] I would suggest that the "purest" sandbox would actually be a blank canvas and utilize a "Yes and..." system of going round robin or whatever getting player (and DM, since at this point the DM is only barely above the player) input on what and where they are. IE: Once the party is made.... DM: So you find yourselves... Bob: In a town! Joe: A small town! Sue: A dirty small town! Jill: That's overrun with orcs! Fast Forward a bit >> DM: Okay, you made peace with the orcs and they're helping rebuild the town in exchange for supplies to their... Bob: War camp! Joe: In the high mountains! Sue: The ones a couple days travel away! Jill: Overrun with dragons! DM: I'm beginning to see a pattern with you Jill... Jill: Well how else will we get XP? DM: >.> And so on and so forth expanding from there in the direction that interests the players slowly mapping out "the world", however zany it may be. [/QUOTE]
