I've never done a world that lasts for more than one campaign so far. But if I did I'd let the world evolve based on the events of each campaign, weather that equates to technological or scientific changes or not. I know if I did an Animon Story campaign in the same world as my last one it would be set in modern day times in a world fundamentally changed by the outcome of that campaign on a societal level, but on smaller scales I know the GM for the next campaign we're doing in my Sunday evening group has one fantasy world she uses for all her campaigns and it advances a little bit each campaign.

I wondered how things were going to go with the minotaur. Curious about the elf problem in the woods.

If it's set in the modern or future world, yeah.

Why not?

It's part of immersion.

If you're playing modern ages Vampire the Masquerade then it makes sense that current technological tools, social media platforms, etc... would exist and be part of the world. (Although some elder vampires would probably be technophobic. But others might be very adaptable and savvy. Or hire experts.)

If you're playing some kind of spacefaring campaign and recent astronomy discovered some new stellar phenomena or something, I also see no reason not to include it - if you think it's noteworthy and would be interesting in your campaign.

As far as "confusing" players, it's no different than any other esoteric subject matter. We're playing a Hunter campaign set in Napoleonic times and we had some sessions involving naval warfare. I'll tell you: Not everyone around the table was exactly any kind of expert on the Age of Sail and naval combat during that era. (Because, naturally, that's pretty esoteric subject matter to modern people. Unless it happens to be an interest and they like to read up on history, military tactics, etc...) The GM took out some of his model ships from one of his miniature wargames and started pointing certain things out, putting them on the table to explain relative positioning, etc...

You can always try to just explain things to people.

(And if someone is so intellectually lazy that they can't learn something new - especially as it pertains to the TTRPG session - then I probably don't want to game with them anyways.)

I hadn’t heard of this and I appreciate your thoughts. Sounds like this isn’t for me.

I think my least favorite dice option in games is single d20. I confess I do like fist-fulls (f that's a word) of dice. And I like multiple types of dice. I also like custom dice, except it can often be hard to find them if you don't get them at the right time/place or don't get some game that they come with. I do look for odd/unusual dice from time to time, too. One mechanic I like (is it a mechanic?), is using different sided dice for different skill levels/strengths - for example, in Pulp Alley, where you use d6, d8, d10, etc., depending on how good you are at something. You can also reduce the die type as you take hits. Or another mechanic, where you have a pool of dice (maybe everyone uses d6, for example), but you lose dice as you take hits.

There are a lot of things you can do with dice! And they can be pretty, too. 😁
