There are two extremes to running a table top role playing game. One is the rails approach, where you force the players down a specific course of action. The other is the sandbox approach, where you create a setting and let the players do whatever they want. Good game masters view these extremes along a spectrum and adjust their style based on their players. Sometimes it’s good to give players lots of options and see what they do, and sometimes it’s good to nudge them along a path. Today in preparation for tomorrow’s game I’ve been doing a little railroad work in the sandbox.
Stay healthy and safe.
