 In tone, the campaign will go in the Sword and Sorcery rather than High Fantasy direction (Conan rather than Lord of the Rings).  In practice, it aims to be a true Sandbox, rather than a story-path.  Players will have great agency and choice of activities, goals and adventures.  However, this will put some burden on the players, because the Judge will need time to prepare.  Players will be required to tell the Judge far enough ahead for him to be ready.  I've outlined the procedures you'll need to follow for this to work below. In tone, the campaign will go in the Sword and Sorcery rather than High Fantasy direction (Conan rather than Lord of the Rings).  In practice, it aims to be a true Sandbox, rather than a story-path.  Players will have great agency and choice of activities, goals and adventures.  However, this will put some burden on the players, because the Judge will need time to prepare.  Players will be required to tell the Judge far enough ahead for him to be ready.  I've outlined the procedures you'll need to follow for this to work below.
