[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 2929376, member: 907"] No. I prefer it where a setting is essentially frozen in time from a publishing point of view. That is, every supplement describes the setting at the same point in time. Adventures can be released that are based on various setting-changing things, but these setting changes should not be incorporated into future products. Exalted did this right, IMO. One of the first books they released was Time of Tumult, which included a campaign embryo based on an extraplanar invasion, with a timeline of what would likely happen if no-one interfered. Later books, however, have not assumed that this invasion actually happened. Some of them have acknowledged it, along the lines of "If you are using the Autochthonian invasion from Time of Tumult, that interacts with these things in ways X, Y, and Z." I believe I have seen the people in charge of the setting say that if they were to release other "metaplot" books, that's how they'd handle things in them too. [/QUOTE]
