This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How about The Great Pendragon Campaign? Would you say it's a sandbox? I admit I'm not sure how to classify it.

Sure if one looks at it as if what would happen if the PCs were not involved. The thing is with Pendragon is that the PCs are not the main characters of Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere. Maybe it won't play out in lockstep with legend but the internal conflict that drive the legend out pretty much out of the hands of the PCs to fix. Arthur will do his thing, Lancelot and Guinevere will have their affair at some point and Modred is still Arthur's bastards and a little shit.

I wouldn't really call it a Sandbox. It's got a timeline and very defined adventures, but the GM can choose which adventures to send his characters on.

I do have the Great Pendragon Campaign and definitely plan to run it. My group asked me to hold off because I just ran the Darkening Of Mirkwood campaign and it was just brutal emotionally.

Your players won't regret you running this, if you do it right.
