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.

Are there any guides for creating sandbox / open world
campaigns?
What do you mean by that term?
