[QUOTE="Silent Cartographer, post: 4475813, member: 57089"] I agree that meta-plots are difficult to pull off. However, I ran a very successful Shadowrun 2/3 campaign that lasted over 4 years, based on heavily modified meta-plot adventures. It worked great, and as the PCs advanced over the years into really powerful characters, they felt like they were really participating in the meta-plot directly. After the release of SR4, we went back and ran a post-retirement mini-campaign based on [I]Survival of the Fittest[/I]. Due the the stature previously achieved by the PCs, it seemed a natural fit to involve them directly in the meta-plot again as agents of Hestaby. The campaign didn't start this way; in the early days, the PCs were limited to niche security and investigative work in Seattle. But once they had achieved a certain level of success, using the meta-plot to drive parts of the campaign worked like a treat. [/QUOTE]
