Look, if you want to throw Howling Wilderness and Kidnapped out the window for any campaigns you're running that's fine for you but you're talking like that's a given for any right-thinking T2Ker and I think that's a bit unreasonable. I'd be more likely to ignore the Eastern European Sourcebook or City of Angels (and I won't be ignoring them either). You clearly have lots of experience in RPG forum discussions and you seem to be a good debater but its not very effective to mix and match the way you have in the post I've quoted above. First you're arguing pretty effectively for modifying canon info then in the next sentence you're trying to reinforce your position by saying that two entire modules shouldn't even be factored into the discussion (and saying it in a tone that suggests it should be obvious to everyone).

"... replaced with better modules or scenarios"? Maybe GDW could've done a better job with Howling Wilderness and Kidnapped and a bunch of other modules and sourcebooks but they didn't. Those are what we have. If you're going to argue your points on those angles perhaps you should re-write Howling Wilderness, offer it for perusal, garner some support for it in the T2K community and then maybe you can act like it's a fait accompli.
