That's fine, a neutral answer is good too.
Out of curiosity, which questions did you find most absurd?
@Grail
Ooh. I'd say the ones that were nails-or-glass ... two things that I'd never do, and the idea of some combination or middle ground between them equally undesirable.
No thanks to nails.
No thanks to glass.
And no thanks to nails-and-glass salad.
Which ones were those?
@Grail Too many to list, but one example is "Is your game an open world sandbox or a linear railroad?"
Nails or glass. Yum.
I didn't know there were options outside of the spectrum of those two. What's your game?
@Grail
Most of the GMs I know have several worlds and games. Many have dozens, and some have hundreds.
So the questions that talk as if I have just one - as you just did - were strange to me.
Anyway, bedtime for me. Best of luck with it.
Oh, I have several too. I've run in Doskvol, Orden, the Planescape, and two homebrew worlds I invented. I answered all of those questions with a weighted average of My worlds.
