Greetings,

Long ago, when I first started writing for T2K, Loren Weisman had this to say about "canon". "When they buy it, it's their game. They can run it how they please."
That pretty well sums up my take on it as well. I really enjoyl seeing the variations that other people make from my material. That's what it's all about.
My Golden Rule for gaming is simple. If your players are having fun playing it and just as importantly you're having fun running it then it's a good game.

Out Here,
Frank Frey

That's "Wiseman" Frank, not "Weisman." People never confused me with Jordan Weisman before FASA hit it big. : )

The only people required to worry about canon are people writing for publication by the holder of the IPRs. People doing it for their campaign can do what they please.

I keep telling people not to fight over this kind stuff. Some people love to fight over this kind of stuff.

I do not consider this to be my fault or my responsibility in any way.
