That may be ok, but don't expect everyone to appreciate it or get it. Arc: long running connections are nice, but it is also good to have things that are resolved . Leave everything open, and then someone moves to take a new job and the campaign stops... All this aside, ya, in practice I come up with some pretty convaluted stuff. But I have learned to tolerate my players not getting all of it, and--as I just noted in the other thread--they have learned to take notes.(edit)*by this deffinition of metaplot</blockquote>
