[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8343250, member: 85555"] Because choosing your cloak doesn’t normally lead to the encounter. Choosing to go north instead of south should shape whether you cross paths with a haunted house. If choosing the red cloak instead of the black one meant the difference between an encounter with a cloaked (EDIT: Cloaker] , and the GM made you encounter the cloak[B]er[/B] anyways regardless of your choice, then it would be more similar. But the cloak is clearly just flavor here, whereas being presented with your cardinal directions, two doors or a fork presents the players with a choice that normally should impact where they end up, and if you are using planned encounters, what you actually encounter. If the house is in all four directions, if the ogre is on all forms [EDIT: forks] in the road, if the wolf is behind doors A and B, that is railroading because you have presented a decision point you have no intention of honoring [/QUOTE]
