My phillosophy
While I have no intention of reopening the canon v non-canon debate, I think it's worth me setting out my philosophy on writing my articles.
* There are many areas of canon that make little sense.
* There are many areas of real life that make no sense (just read any history book).
* I think some of the events in canon are debatable to say the least.
* Canon has contradictions - see the artillery for the School Brigade where it states a unit is added at one point and that no artillery was ever added at another.
* Real historians contradict themselves too.
* Even if we all sat together with a blank piece of paper we would never manage to create a background we all agreed on.
* My writing is NOT canon, unless Far Future needs a writer (hint, hint).
* I try and make my works compatible with canon so they are more use to more people.
* My writing style is intended to be a historian writing a history, historians make mistakes and are sometimes biased, you can pass errors off as this.
* Please feel free to use my articles as starting points for non-canon campaigns and change what you like.
I believe everyone on the forum loves the game in their own way (let's be fair, to be following a game after so long says a lot), everyone's campaign is different and we can all take ideas, modify and adapt them to suit.
