Back in the '90s, when I worked at White Wolf, we were deep in setting lore. Every year, the overall plot for all of the games in the World of Darkness marched forward. Twisted conspiracies turned, influencers shifted sides, new factions emerged.

D&D and even Shadowrun did the same: There was a story, it advanced through the books, the world changed and characters grew, died, or discovered new additions to the game.

This eventually led to a phenomenon of "setting mastery": Players deeply enmeshed in the lore of a game would use their knowledge of the world to manipulate the game to their advantage. (This was a problem in large-scale organized games where players competed.)

1/4 Today is a weirdly special day for me. One year ago today, I purchased and played #VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines for the very first time, where I played a Tremere (I did the quiz, don’t judge). [THREAD]
2/4 I knew nothing about the #WorldOfDarkness or #VtM, I only got it because people who had reviewed/critiqued Vampyr kept conparing it to #VtMB. I fell in love immediately with the setting.

Alright #vamily let’s address an in game lore problem. Not as serious as usual, but still worth considering for in character #worldbuilding. Asymmetry of information, which is how I built the skeletons of my #worldofdarkness and usually #Vampirethemasquerade games ;)
We’re talking about a bunch of secret people who have been avoiding the dangers of travel whenever possible, and who live mostly through oral tradition (as anything else is possibly a Masquerade breach right). As such whenever one sires a childe, they are the sole educator.
And perhaps you might know how flawed home schooling can be. As such whenever a sire teaches a childe, information is lost, deformed, veiled by the sire’s experience and beliefs. And the childe isn’t always in the best position to be a good learner.
Alright #vamily thanks to your recent purchases on my merch store and the kofis, you get to win one of my books! #giveaway

The link is a tinyurl link, and the end of the url is the ASCII version of the author of the piece I used as a cover.
Easy enough right?
