[arg_discuss] Tools for ARG developers

[Christy Dena]

Yep, 

'World' = as in every part of an entire property -- all components in an ARG
or all films, books & games in a franchise. It is not game or single unit
specific but is inclusive of everything. 'World' is often employed to denote
the entire fictional 'world'. Not the real world. 

'Bible' = all design info. A fictional, not a religious doctrine.

I'm guessing there's a misunderstanding of the World Bible term here--I'm
pretty sure Christy means the World Bible as in the Design Bible. A big
giant book of everything you need to reference back to.
