I like to get feedback about the games we run and the best way to
do that is with a voting poll. Periodically, a game related question will be posted. With each new poll, players
will be notified by email.
There's an interesting poll on ENWorld that asks about Linear and Sandbox style games. While the question is geared mostly towards GMs, I think Players
should have some input.
To clarify, Linear games are where the players are lead down a pre-constructed
path (think pre-written Adventures and/or Player & Party goals already established). Sandbox games
is where the world is wide open for the players to explore (with a heavy emphasis on Improvisation). Personally,
I don't think you can run a game that is 100% Linear or 100% Sandbox but I did put in a 3rd Box in case you want
to put in a different answer.
So, from a Player's perspective, which do you prefer?
