Blondie 98 Share Posted February 10, 2021 What is Sandbox RP? I've written on site where there is an overall plot and even events, as well as ones that have gamemasters. And I've seen more than a few RP sites advertising that they are 'sandbox', and I always wonder what that actually means. Find me at: - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planet 1 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Yeah, a site without a big plot. For example, Minecraft is a Sandbox game and it doesn't have a big plot to the game, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmightyZiggy 5 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I always thought it meant a site with a loose plot, with the implication that all plotting going forward would be member driven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayne 5 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I run a sandbox RP, I envision it as the difference between a linear game and an open-world game. Both have benefits and drawbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrn 102 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) I have a site that I label as "sandbox". Reason for that being, its is a bit of a magical melting pot. Pretty much any fantasy race can be brought in. And you can think up pretty much any sort of magic for a character (where any race or character possesses the potential for using magic). The plot is loose or rather in the background, as in it there but not the focus. Staff are moving it around and talking with members so there is next to no responsibility for participating in it, it just contributes to the atmosphere of the world their character exists in. There is a lot of fluidity with what is allowed and what can happen, it's a sandbox - all sorts can happen.

Flahme 44 Share Posted December 11, 2021 TWW is a sandbox. It is primarily member driven though we do have plot drops from time to time.

Pepper 10 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I never knew what sandbox plot was either. It is definitely well worth the time to peruse the message boards, because not only am I discovering things that I was unaware of, I am also being educated!! Thank you!

But most aren't sandboxes because few change the lore and world based on the players actions. So true sandboxes top tier. Deceptive sandboxes are worse then a preset plot driven community.
