I think this is exactly it! The point of any game is to have fun. The details of how you achieve that don't really matter. As long as you and your players are happy you can free roaming the sandbox or chugging along the railroad tracks, or anything in between.

Hah yeah well the combination of size and my own perfectionist tendencies don't combine very well xD

I have a couple of things, but nothing is getting worked on to the degree that I'd like.

I have a couple of adventures for D&D on the go as well as one for Vaesen and then I have a setting/RPG idea on a "oops all Warlocks" vibe that I've been filing away at for a while.

Most of my efforts go in my standard fantasy world building though since that is where I actually run a game. With any luck I'll have the world map finished in about 10 years or so xD
