Today's #TTRPGDiscussion: How do you make your #TTRPG world feel alive?

When I play #DND or #PathFinder, I want the world to feel alive - not as a static movie set in which you have your adventures. Even though my PC may be a hero to some extent, I still want to feel like I'm just one of many adventurers / citizens in this world. But how do you, as a GM, achieve that?

How does one make the world feel alive and dynamic? What are your best tips related to this?

@enfors In a city adventure, I'm using newspapers (or city criers in a less literate setting) to give another perspective on the party's adventures and other goings-ons. It's fun to write and the players enjoy a rainbow press take on their escapades
@Rianq Hmm, that's an interesting perspective. Yeah, I've thought of doing something similar, but never for the purpose of making the world seem more alive - besides, I never got around to it. But yes, I think you're right, this could help in that regard. Thanks!
@enfors Glad to help!
