Maybe it's because I come from a tabletop background, but I can't help but roll my eyes at "make your own fun!"
DWRP mods in general are far lazier than GMs. They like to hide behind "make your own fun!" to avoid actually working on settings and storylines. Sure we have segments where the GMs like "okay, you've arrived in X town/returned to X town, do what you want", but those are brief and we're back to the plot soon enough.
The GM provides some sort of structure. I'm not saying that they have to or should spoonfeed you everything, but at least give you something to work off and take it from there. What's that called again? Oh, right. A storyline. A plot. A breadcrumb that leads to something bigger even.
You know what would happen in a tabletop game if we had months on end of just slice-of-lifeing around town? We'd all fucking leave, that's what.
