If there was a planned metaplot seeded in multiple books its a shame it didn't at least get a resolution, but I don't think it was a...

Because metaplot is bad, and metametaplot is even worse.

I, for one, am glad this fell through. Having hints scattered throughout half a dozen (or however many) campaign adventures for...

This article is very interesting. I had always suspected that 5e’s big-honking-adventure books were backdoor setting guides. Tyranny of...
