My campaign world (Greyhawk) has had a continuous timeline since I started DMing in 1980, thus every party I've ever DM'ed (over 20 groups of 2 to 12 PCs per group, almost 30 players over the last 26 years) has been tracked on this same timeline, and had a prepared campaign world with a history that includes the actions of all my previous players. No adventure is ever run twice (although there have been occasions where one group visited a location years after another group had, and saw the aftermath). A PCs action can (and has) become legend for later groups. Some have sought out old, retired characters for information and advice. Some of the low-level groups even work for some of the high level groups. It all provides a rich, developed world, although sometimes it IS difficult to keep it all on track. Right now there are over a  half dozen active groups, and it sometimes is difficult keeping them from jumping too far ahead (because one group's actions often interweave with what another group is doing).Denis, aka "Maldin"==============================Maldin's Greyhawk   <a href="http://melkot.com" target="_blank">http://melkot.com</a>Check out the ton of edition-independent material on my website, from new magic items and spells, new game mechanics, and loads of juicy Greyhawk goodness - ancient history (Kyuss, Twin Cataclysms, Isles of Woe), cities (Greyhawk, Irongate, Melkot), adventure locations and maps maps maps)..</blockquote>
