[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 8856882, member: 82524"] Good about Eberron, which doesn't do metaplot, very poorly of FR, Dark Sun and DL which love their metaplots. Bad about Planescape for metaplot, alignment and just the whole deal. Ambivalent on Mystara (which is a mixed bag of awesome and absolutely horrible) and Greyhawk because there's no point of hating the eternally dead. The thing with D&D lore is that most of it was wrought in ancient times and at this point, the viewpoint it's coming from is basically alien to me, filtered through Gonzo Science Fantasy and proto New Weird and singular books and series where you Had To Be There. It's like an inside joke that you're expect to laugh uproariously at, but then have to listen to someone who was there spend twenty minutes to explain to you why it's funny. I'm also not liking the new multiverse because instead of [I]being[/I] a multiverse, they're changing existing things to be Strange Mirrors instead of full alters and that's pretty boring; like the New 52 [/QUOTE]
