Not out of any deliberate animosity; it just hasn't intersected with me at any point. I think it's some kind of Infinite Crisis-style reboot event of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, and that it's also a series of novels.  And sometimes there are some videos for it.  But I'm not really sure what it is in the context of D&D.Maybe that makes me a bad D&D player!Is it something to do with D&D Encounters?  I've not interacted with those, either, and I'm not 100% sure what they are.  A series of adventures played in game stores? Do they intersect with the overall FR metaplot?But then, I've never been one for campaign settings much.  I kinda liked Dragonlance when I was a kid, and Ravenloft was interesting (I only ever ran one adventure in it though, Feast of Goblyns, and ended up reading it more than playing it).  I've never bought a Forgotten Realms product of any kind except for the Crystal Shard and Homeland Drizzt novel trilogies, many years ago (I understand the former went beyond a trilogy, but I only had three books).  Same goes for campaign settings of other games.  Actually, I lie - I bought "The Triangle", a setting book for FASA's Star Trek 20 years ago.Conversely, I do enjoy adventure paths. And I'm OK with - even prefer - each adventure path having its own setting.  I kinda see them like campaigns in their own right, and for me they're a better model for 'settings' - you dip in, play the series, then move on to something else.  I've played D&D APs, a Pathfinder AP, and my own APs.  They're a model which really suits me.So how about you?  Do you get involved in the D&D metaplot?  Or the metaplot of whatever game or setting it is you play?  Do you participate in scheduled events by WotC or Paizo?</blockquote>
