[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5656641, member: 9037"] I play in an Age of Worms campaign. And yes there is an element of railroading because there is a linear path. It is both the same as my homebrew campaign and also different. It is the same as there is an over all plot mine is the dragon war AOW is the bad guys trying to bring about the Age of Worms. The difference is in my homebrew there are a lot more choices on what to do. AOW not so much. If you deviate from the adventure path to much then it because harder for the DM to continue. Now if the DM is fine on this and loves winging it then fine. But if the DM does not want to wing it as much and is using an AP because it is easier for them then you can't do it without derailing the game. We players knew we would be playing an AP so we have the mindset to look for the next plot hook. I view it as the contract between player and DM. We the players agreed to play in the AP so we need to do that and not make the DMs job to hard. Now how we handle each plot hook is up to us. We can fight, negotiate, but we can't really run away because we need the clues and items to be able to continue. [/QUOTE]
