If so, do you invalidate the respective adventures when the setting is updated?How would you handle different speeds of progression by different groups? Say a group which plays monthly has just started one of the world progressing adventures when you update the setting. If the poor sod of a GM hasn't actually downloaded the setting material he has lost his background material. If he has downloaded it, though, he can play at his group's leisurely pace - but may discover after the adventure that the world has progressed too much for him to sync with it again without a lot of work.You'd have to publish the adventures at pace suitable for fast playing groups.With an ever-changing background, continuity will be hell to achieve.You might think about clocking the progress. A couple of adventures is published at day 1. The groups can submit their results up do day 150. The effects are applied to the setting on day 180. So each group can decide whether to sync their game with your clock or go their own way. If further adventures openly announce the assumed WCE's resulting from former adventures, an out-of-sync group may later on use more of your adventures, even if they haven't reached the progress the official world assumes.</blockquote>
