This one is all about the proverbial sandbox game, from how to run it, to simply avoiding railroading the players. We start by reading an email from a fan seeking advice on how to “stop railroading” and go sandbox while still incorporating custom terrain.

Beyond the perceived value judgement of “railroad bad”, “sandbox” good the gang dives deep down the rabbit hole on the side of the sandbox. There is a brief discussion of the Quantum Ogre theory (or as we like to call it, Schrodinger’s Ogre) and offer advice on how to run a more ‘open’ sandbox campaign.
