Here I'll quote it again...If you were a dog that became human this is definitely going to color how your character engages with the people, places and things of the game world.  You seem to have set up your own standard for what OUT's should do and be... but that standard isn't really supported by the book... which was my original point.Who said he was trapped?  And who said he doesn't know much about the 13th Age world (what if he read the role-playing game while on earth? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  ).  You're assuming things that aren't implicit in the statement, these are the things that the player and DM are supposed to work together on through discussion and exploration in the campaign. Okay first off, a game world can exist outside of the minds of those playing.  I may not be playing in a FR game but I know certain official facts about the current iteration of Toril.  Campaign and world are interlinked, but not the same thing. In my mind an example of an "uber-campaign" would be one where the play experiences, not just the game world setting are the same (or as similar as possible given the fact that it is still run by a human) and the outcomes influence everyone's game.  IMO, encounters is a prime example of this... various groups played through the same adventures each week which in turn led to the same outcomes (unless they failed). I would not say different groups playing different adventures in different parts of Golarion are playing in the same campaign or even in a connected campaign... only in the same world.  If you don't get the distinction I'm not sure how else to explain it though, and we may just have to chalk it up to a lost cause... especially since it is tangential at best to my original point about OUT's, backgrounds and Icons.Uhm... again I disagree.  There are official versions of certain game worlds... and they exist in written form, as well as in a form that is experienced outside of gaming and it's participants imagination(through fiction).  There isn't a campaign that exists in this way since actually playing through a series of linked adventures is what defines a campaign.</blockquote>
