The chronology established in the box set ends in July of 2000. Chronologically, subsequent modules took place after EfK. It's not so much a matter of changing canon as it was adding to it, and evolving it.

And, of course, player action could have a direct impact on the game world. A good GM would make adjustments to the game world based on what players accomplished, or didn't, during the modules.

I'm by no means an expert on T2K adventure modules. I am intimately familiar with the original Poland adventures but only have a passing familiarity with the CONUS modules. Please correct me if I am wrong, but, to my knowledge, none of the published modules say, "ignore such and such- it didn't happen that way; it happened this way instead."

I think you are proposing a fundamental change to canon, by writing out the drought from HW. This alters canon, instead of adding to or evolving it.

If Marc Miller were to come out publicly (like here, for starters) and say, "ignore HW" or, "the drought wasn't as bad as initially described" or something to that effect, I think it would be easier for some members to swallow. If that were the case, I think an official, amended version of HW, would be the logical jumping-off point for post-2001 canonical material.
