[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2316647, member: 2205"] I still think that's just plot. Metaplot implies some plot that exists outside the construct of the game itself. By that definition, anything that the GM schemes up, whether overarching or not, wouldn't be meta-; it'd be internal plot. Otherwise simply known as plot. :D But I think that's one of the difficulties of this kind of discussion. Exactly what is meant by the term is not univerally understood. It'd be nice if there was a standard encyclopedia, dictionary or glossary of gamer jargon around to help us figure out what a munchkin is, or a metaplot, or whatever other somewhat nebulous term that gets used a lot, understood from context, and thus used with subtle variations by all kinds of people online.
