Sandbox Roleplay
The Sandbox Roleplay game mode, also known as "Open Roleplay", puts a spin on the traditional gameplay mechanics by foregoing teams, storylines, and specific objectives to instead encourage players to roleplay freely among themselves, engaging in combat only if and when the need arises.
This mode allows all game rules including combat and classes but is typically used for feasts, courts, and other low-combat environments that have the focus primarily on social roleplay. This means Sandbox Roleplay is great for non-fighting participants as well as combat-able players.
In addition, it is uncommon for Sandbox Roleplay to have a dedicated Game Organizer, so players who wish to roleplay this way will simply congregate together and drop in/drop out at their leisure.
Is Roleplay expected? As the name implies, roleplay is expected in Sandbox Roleplay activities. With that in mind, the disorganized nature of sandbox roleplay means that not everyone in your immediate area will always be participating so you may find yourself occasionally interrupted by out-of-character matters or otherwise be forced to move your roleplay to an area that is less likely to be interupted.
Example Games
Developer Note: Quests are much more complex than traditional combat activities. Some basic examples will be included here in the future. For more in-depth support, the Game Organizer Guide is a source of guidance and support to help bring your Quest ideas to life.
