[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8255472, member: 5142"] I think a separate issue that you inject in here in a discussion of time and duration, namely "have many adventuring parties tromping around." Because I believe the issue of time has been discussed before in regards to these sort of story now games. I believe pemerton and a few others have said that their campaigns have lasted for multiple years, and there isn't reason to doubt their claims. I don't think that time or duration is really a problem with this method, because any fiction added to the game must be accounted for later once it has been introduced into the game. Once the fiction of a castle appearing on a hill has been introduced in the game, the castle is now an established part of the fiction that will not be moved, unless David Xanatos buys the castle, disassembles it, and then rebuilds it to sit atop his skyscraper in New York. But I'm not sure if many PC adventuring parties being in the same world as other PC parties has really been discussed. I'm not sure if that means it's incompatible with these techniques though. I vaguely recall mention on Twitter of Steven Lumpkin (Silent0siris) working on a West Marches hack of Blades in the Dark, though I'm not sure of his progress on that project. [/QUOTE]
