[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8256217, member: 23751"] No it doesn't make it a living world. You don't really prep much ahead of time, so that rumor was introduced for their benefit(ie into the PC bubble), rather than as part of the world moving on its own. The players, knowing that they are playing Burning Wheel are aware of that, which alters the feel of the game. I'm not sure that [USER=6698278]@Emerikol[/USER] and [USER=85555]@Bedrockgames[/USER] do disagree, or at least not completely. I haven't read all that they were talking about, but a lot of what they were saying was about sandbox, not necessarily living world. I think the vast majority of living worlds are sandbox games as well, but the DM of a railroad game can have NPCs react on their own in response to both the PCs and world events, as well as initiate world events outside of the PCs. Nothing about living world restricts it to only sandbox play. [/QUOTE]
