[gurps] sandbox / open world campaigns

[Classified TS/BBR]

In Computer Gaming, especially CRPGs, "Sandbox" appears to be the term for 
an "Open" setting where the player/character can roam freely & do the 
various activities as & when they want.

Like Morrowind & Oblivion where there are *many* side quests in addition to 
the Main Quest lines & one can generally just wander around killing Mobs, 
Buying Stuff, looting chests, etc...

I'm not sure how the query applies to PnP/Tabletop RPG gaming though, as I 
would consider any use of a "Setting" vice a railroading Module to be a 
'Sandbox', so I would think that most RPGs *are* rules for Sandbox/Open 
World gaming... IMAO & IANAG(ame)D(esigner) natch.
