Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 2935431" data-attributes="member: 907"><p>Metaplots are not the same thing as novels (though they are often correlated). Metaplot is something like "One of the leaders of the Zhentarim has all his backup clones awakened, and starts fighting with himself, thereby plunging the Zhentarim into chaos. One of the other leaders take advantage of this, strengthening his own grip on the organization, dedicating it more to his evil god, and increases its influence on the nearby cities." Another example would be "The Sorcerer-King of Tyr is planning a ritual to kill off his entire city and turning himself into a dragon, but a small group of heroes kill him before he can complete the ritual, and free all the slaves and turn Tyr into a fledgling democracy." Those are things that actually change the settings in question, as opposed to showing something that could happen there.</p></blockquote><p></p>
