Versimilitude and realism are why I don't like DMing most kinds of modern or non-post-apocolyptic games. How many things can you have repeatedly come up that aren't in any data base or camera anywhere?

Hint: if they think they can find it if it shows up, "in some database or camera anywhere" they don't know much about realism in computer technology today. :p

Part of it is games like WoD or Shadowrun where the points they have in computers makes them seem like they should have the faux NCIS type access. Part of it is detective fiction from the 40s-60s where it's blood type, newspaper files, and a big file room somewhere that's now DNA matching and google.

And zooming, and enhancing video or photos.

Yeah, I know where the trope comes from. I am commenting on how "realism" is more dependent on the player, than on actual reality.

Sorry, in my original post I meant to say "modern or non-post-apocolyptic sci-fi games", and the later where my brain was going with the beyond-realist NCIS TV stuff.
