[QUOTE="Siberys, post: 6132604, member: 30619"] Problem is, anything metaplot advancing without 'ruining' the setting would have to be pretty minor. Part of the reason I like Eberron is the lack of a metaplot, so something too involved would turn me off. Best bet is some terrorist action (Emerald Claw or the Swords of Liberty or the Lord of Blades or Aundairian Flame adherents, et cetera) reignites the Last War. Use it as a means to advance the political situation in each of the nations, and ramp up tensions. Things like Droaam mobilizing to war, Breland becoming a democracy, et cetera. Can't involve a repeat of the Mourning, because a repeat would imply who caused it, and that would violate one of the setting's 'no touch' rules. Anything too major, and you turn off fans. :/ Ultimately, my favorite idea that I've seen is a book or series of books with possible 'branches'. Like, here's an example path with a new Mourning, here's Cannith splitting in three, here's the Really Actually Last War. [/QUOTE]
