[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 1795252, member: 813"] I've run a FR game for years now and I know of no metaplot dictated by the books to me nor of any plot that changes or doesn't change. Course, I haven't read any of the novels and I don't own the supplemental books (silver marches, underdark, etc.) maybe such plots are therein but that doesn't affect my game. And this is good for a newbie DM because??? Don't get me wrong I have Oathbound and it is a cool setting but it is not for the new DM. It's more for the DM who wants something different. Or for someone sick of an older setting and wants to break away from it. Actually, I don't think any campaign setting is good for the new DM. Keep of the Borderlands or Wizards Amulet/Crucible of Freya makes for a better campaign setting IMO. Probably any 1st level module with a developed surrounding would be a better campaign setting than any of the listed ones. Or as Waylander said. Make a village. Detail an area no more that 4-5 days walk around it. Start playing. This recent thread is probably apropos: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=102982[/url] [/QUOTE]
