I do, with more detail of the Hero Wars.

I have run a group through the Hero Wars twice, with great success. Each time the Adventurers were the focus, driving events and performing many of the deeds described in King of Sartar, not as contrived events, but as natural things that came out of the Campaign.

The deeper I went into the metaplot the more scope the Adventurers had to change things or to follow the broad brush approach. Nobody felt railroaded into everything, we changed a lot of stuff through the actions of the Adventurers and made the Hero Wars their own. I cannot remember Mello Yello becoming the Golden Dragon Emperor of Dara Happa in the official metaplot, for example. 2 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.
