As not side track another thread.....
It got me wondering.. I know a number of RPGs have metaplots The Dresden Files had a for a time the war between the red court and the Council and GURPS IW has the war between the two groups. And depending on what era there's always a bigger war going in Star Wars. So my question is do you tend to ignore the metaplot or do you use it and weave your players in and out of events ala Hero of another s tory?For me, I tend to either have the players off doing something else that also affects the metaplot, like using them to explain what happened off screen that let the main focus group accomplish the mission.
