But most of the heavily world-built games I've played in ran into one of three problems:1) There were setting elements that the players couldn't possibly know about that were insermountably preventing our success. These weren't really shared, but just sort of popped up as a given fact that we should have known. "Oh yeah, everyone knows Gimmin the Deamon slayer has eyes that see absolute truth."2) The DM was so invested in the world he couldn't bear to let us change any of it. And we also had to hear tons about it. 3) The world was, frankly, kind of innapropriate to the game (who cares about local crops when you're in flying ships battling dragon hordes).It sounds like you avoid all of this by taking note of the players, their characters and the immediate situation.</blockquote>
