Take that canon material!!!
LOL
I don't think I've played a game in the last 30-some years strictly by canon. IMO when you find a system that fits your style, many players will stick with it, often to the bitter end!
And whats wrong with that?
One of the most entertaining games that I've ever played in was a mix of Star Wars/Vampire/Toon...it didn't make much sense, but
IT WAS FUN!!!!
And that's the strength of TMP, there is something for everyone...and if you don't like it...modify it!!!! (insert evil laugh!)
