[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8244620, member: 85555"] No, I don't think this the case. It isn't and it wasn't for me when I read the paragraph in question. Up to that point for me at least, things were either tied to locations on the map or they were tied to events the GM wanted to happen. Obviously it is an approach many GMs can take regardless. But I have said again and again it isn't unique to living worlds. As I mentioned before it can exist in any type of adventure (in which case I would call it a living adventure). Living world just takes that idea very, very seriously, expands it to the whole world, and really just makes it a key priority. But I have definitely been in games where NPCs are rooted more to a spot, are not acting like living pieces on the board (but maybe in service to some plot: a good example of this is simply having an NPC show up at a dramatically appropriate time, rather than when they would act: as Crawford said about them acting when they are ready to act).
