[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9140559, member: 467"] I am not sure how this would occur. It adds in the sense that there is a larger context and so the world will feel more developed and real. There is of course a limit to the world building one person can do, or the amount of research they can do into an existing world (whether it is a made up setting or a historical period). So I don't think it is necessary or desirable to aim for perfect complete detail. But other than some limiting detail I mentioned above, I don't think it can hurt. Note: that is not to say that a world builder GM can't "mess up" by not focusing on the things they need to prep for the next session. I agree totally that the stuff in front of the PCs is paramount. But that falls more under "prep" than "world building" for the purposes of this discussion. We can assume ALL the world building was finished a year before the campaign even started to that end. Prep is a separate thing (for which I created a thread a while back, in fact) and not really germain to this discussion. [/QUOTE]
