In the tabletop the DM can change radically the lore to stop players who know too much thanks internet.A zombie apocalypse in Falkovnia is a videogame for children comparing with the previous dystopia, to use a softer word. And now the rules are different, for example the mind-control powers are taboo. Goodbye the love potions because relations have to be consensual and that type of things.Do we know how Vecna escaped the demiplane of dread? Maybe it was his fault. Or when a dark lord dies then the dark domain could be rebooted. What about Innistrad? If this plane has got a Shadowfell, maybe some old domains are relocated there. Maybe Ravnica also has its own "Shadowfell", working practically like a mash-up crossover with White Wolf's World of Darkness.What if there are secret links in the metaplots of Ravenloft, Innistrad and the future Duskmourn?* The reboot or retcon may be necessary because gameplay reasons, for example to explain how the new classes and PC species are added. * My opinion is for a long time the metaplot of all settings (but maybe FR) will be "frozen" or stopped, because Hasbro would rather this to be written by screenwritters for cinematographic productions, or videogames.* WotC worries more about the lore when it is for the main media, where the money is moving, and within the TTRPG market this can be changed. * I am afraid WotC worries more about the new generetion of players, the future source of incomes, before the old veterans or grognards. Then they are more willing to sacrifice the continuity. The priority is to get new fans before keeping the loyalty by the old ones.</blockquote>
