DMing in a Persistent World Environment

This is a revised and updated guide to techniques for effective DMing on a PW. The contents cover a number of conceptual and practical issues involved with DMing in a persistent world environment, and were originally based on a discussion at the old Bioware DM-Friendly Initiative (DMFI) Guild forum. Thanks go to all those DMs who contributed ideas and comments.
