Best metaplot is 40kRPG metaplot, which is really just a bunch of story hooks

Also I wish AmiYumi would put more dots in posting because he's been rolling a lot of duds lately

Oh yeah, and the final nail in the "playing yourself is unfun" argument is the tale of Grendel, the fat and goony Dark Heresy 1e Adept who single-handedly killed a Charnel Daemon of Khorne with a knife.

I was thinking something gritty with provisions for the occasional covert operation. My rough idea for a setting would be following a group of Russian soldiers as they're pushed back during Barbarossa and through the siege of Leningrad. So, a bit like a zombie survival game but the Nazis aren't actually zombies for once. :v:

I'm not beholden to d20, but it's the only system I have experience with. The bit of mechanics that I've seen looking at this Red Tide rulebook is making my inner grognard purr, though. :kimchi:

You want GRUNT. It's a Vietnam RPG but the mechanics would work great for this sort of thing.
