Message: <blockquote data-quote="Umbran" data-source="post: 2841304" data-attributes="member: 177">Depends upon the metaplot.The problem I find with metaplots in published settings is that I cannot easily tailor them to my party - they're too big to shift very far - especially since I'm nmot privvy to the whole metaplot at game start.  In addition, in long-standing published settings the players generally know as much about the Metaplot as the DM, which is a bit annoying.  Sure, in my own homebrew there's a metaplot, insofar as I've chosen some set pieces and those pieces are going to move forward.  But the players have little idea what those pieces are, and since I made them up, I know where they are and where they are going, so if I choose to alter them, I'm fine.  I won't suddenly find myself at odds with published material I was hoping to use.</blockquote>
