The main difference is one side gets One True Way supporters.

Total railroading in RPGs means that the GM doesn’t care what the players do, it doesn’t matter at all.

So does total sandboxing.

  1. I don't like total sandboxing as too often it just means people doing random, crazy stuff for no reason.

    2. Pretty much, games need a story. Also as a GM if I'm just reacting to the players latest shenanigans all the time I get bored.

      I hope I strike a balance between sand-box and rail-road...
