[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1271227, member: 812"] fusangite had the right idea, but you didn't go far enough -- "meta-plot" is being used here to describe something more properly known as, er, "plot". The question under discussion appears to be "Do you like buying campaign setting material that includes plots?" That is, do you want your store-bought campaign material to include NPC actions and to update the "state of the nation" as those actions are carried out? I note that nobody complaining is running a home-brew campaign -- because this question doesn't really make sense for a home-brew campaign. And since I've never run anything but homebrew, and never played in anything but homebrew, the whole conversation seems a little weird to me. But anyhow, to answer the question: I don't care AT ALL. I buy campaign setting material purely to scavange ideas for my own black hole of a campaign, so plot ideas are every bit as valuable as crunchy stat blocks, maps, encounters, everything, pretty much. It it's GOOD, I like it. [/QUOTE]
