Sorry Leg - but the Twilight 2000 game that I play is not 2013 - so even if the writers are still here unless they are issuing new modules, new articles, etc. then the canon is unsupported. And 2013 canon doesnt interest me as I dont play that game.
And no there is no reason we must respect canon unless the game becomes a living supported game by the original writers again - and no one except you is trying to shove anything down anyone's throat (i.e. the constant we must respect canon that you say to anyone who isnt 100 percent toeing the canon line that we hear so often)
Now I will say this - if Frey or Wiseman start reissuing canon articles or modules or whatever I would LOVE IT (hint hint hint) - but until then we have an unsupported game that really will be different depending on who the GM is -
for instance City of Angels, which according to FarFuture is considered apocrypha and not really part of the canon, is considered canon by those who played it and whose characters now have that as part of their history
as I said - in our game the second that sniper shot killed the Baron the canon went out the window - in canon he leads his army back to Warsaw - in our game he was killed and gone long before the Return to Warsaw module was released
so our GM basically threw that module out - same with White Eagle - the Polish Free Congress got the Madonna and that priest, with no Madonna, had his army destroyed by the Silesian one - again there goes canon
as for the Boomer - we got there with a full crew, not a scratch one - and instead of sinking her after we got to her, MilGov took her home - and thus inherited a ballistic missile sub (but with only three functional missiles) that they intended to use as a particularily well armed power station
again there goes canon
I bet that there are dozens of similar stories out there where modules either were made irrelevant by character actions or had to be majorly changed
a great example - when we busted out we sprung a bunch of American POW's out both in the Escape and in the Madonna module - some of them stayed with B troop when we found them but we showed up at Krakow with 8 player characters and almost 28 NPC's along for the ride - and our GM had to do some rewriting to make certain things challenging - and all because of the roads we took
I am very happy at the responses to this thread - it shows that the forum is both very alive and full of people who love the game and the forum
and if you dont agree with me and my opinions, no skin off my nose
and if the creators of T2000 who are on this forum want to help us with the canon - even if what they say is totally different than what I think - I would love to see that kind of thing here
