[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 5007719, member: 4892"] I find it equally mindboggling that an "infinite" number of adventure-worthy events are occurring in Sandbox World. If such dangerous events are dime-a-dozen how can any of them feel any more special than having your character relieve himself behind a tree? I see nothing wrong with painting the picture of your world for your players, describing the everyday and mundane to breathe life into it, while still only throwing out a few hooks to lead the characters into adventure. Edit: Even RC's example of players wanting to stop slavery in Otherwiseniceville is an adventure hook that the DM would have had to put out there at some point. Even if you didn't intend for that to be an adventure. Without creative control by the players they would have had to have gotten the plot information from the DM to know that there is a place named Otherwiseniceville and that they practice slavery.
