Then they will grumble about the threadbare nature of the campaign.
If you prevent them from doing this, they will accuse you of railroading them.
Skylines of the Future

Cities: Skylines is bound to have a sequel sooner or later. Where can this series go next, and what changes would I like to see?

Top 64 Videogames

Lists of 'best games ever' are dumb and annoying. But like a self-loathing hipster I made one anyway.
Overused Words in Game Titles

I scoured the Steam database to figure out what words were the most commonly used in game titles.
How I Plan To Rule This Dumb Industry

Here is how I'd conquer the game-publishing business. (Hint: NOT by copying EA, 2K, Activision, Take-Two, or Ubisoft.)
I actually remember way back in the early D&D editions, they actually had rules and encounter tables for players who just wanted to go romping off the beaten path (like, “OK, you pass into the next hex, which is a forest tile. There is a 30% chance of encounters… Which is confirmed. Now we see WHAT you encountered… 63! You have encountered a band of centaurs that appear to be migrating to their summer hunting grounds. They eye you warily and finger their bows, but do not attack. What do you do?”) This kind of fell by the wayside as D&D evolved into a more story-telling/driven system, but I always kind of appreciate that they thought of ways to cater to players who just wanted to go gallivanting across the countryside and see what lay out there. :)
So basically, a modern dungeon-crawler boardgame…
Nothing wrong with a good dungeon crawl. Can be a really fun play-style if the entire table is OK with the raw combat!
But yeah. It’s a style currently not in favor. Even the PC games don’t do it much. For good and ill, a lot more focus on characters & story.
I just want to say that I’m so glad you’re redoing these comics. They’re just as hilarious now as they were before, and the ones around the end of Two Towers and beginning of Return of the King were some of the best.
Railroad goes ever on and on
To the only place that you can go
If you want to choose another way
You know the answer, it is NO.
When you get right down to it, Middle-Earth is a desolate and empty place overall.
In the story there was a lot of danger in the world that needed heroes or community for safety so not a lot of people braving the wilds. In the real world New Zealand has a lot of places too far from electricity, stores, and cell towers
