[QUOTE="lordbasl, post: 2315411, member: 10559"] [b]Minor and Major metaplots[/b] My campaign has one major metaplot -- the tension between Magic as Art (Sorcerers) and Magic as Science (Wizards). This metaplot spans millennia and is cross-planar. This is a philosophical struggle, one that sets the flavor of the various eras of my game world's history. It is a metaplot the main heroic party is only beginning to discover and understand the implications of. As the Main Heroic Party is now on the threshold of Epic level, the background metaplot will rise to the foreground. Yeah, I know, I'm cribbing from White Wolf's old World of Insufficient Light, but I used to play a LOT of Werewolf back in the day, and I got to like the Garou-specific metaplots, subplots and just plain plots. Minor metaplots abound as well. Every kingdom, barony and hamlet has secrets. Did the elderly and slightly insane Baron of Ostgaard *really* die of natural causes in his sleep...or did his heir use a cumulative magical poison to drive him mad? [/QUOTE]
