Every DM tends to create their own campaign world, and, if that world gets returned to, it generally gets refined and ret-conned between games. I've set stand-alone adventures in a loosely defined campaign world, but more for general campaign world assumptions than any continuity of characters and specific places. Another one of us rebooted a campaign setting used in a couple of one-shots when it was his turn to run a longer term campaign. The location, overall themes, and even many of the major players were the same, but many of the details had been changed, and the outcome of the previous adventure was nowhere to be seen.All that being said, it is not uncommon for characters who play in one-shots to reappear in different adventures in other campaign worlds. The Ranger in our most recently finished D&D campaign had been the sole survivor of a few one-shots I'd run over the past two years. Most people don't bring their recurring characters into my one-shots anymore, because the fatality rates tend to be rather high.</blockquote>
