[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 7722475, member: 40810"] Yes. Because since I don't play the adventures anyway, the only reason to buy them is to read up on the latest canon development. I haven't played D&D for almost a year now and for me that's perfectly normal. I was "reading D&D" way more than "playing D&D" ever since I got into D&D. The only thing that changes between now and then is that I am no longer reading D&D, as there's nothing to read. It wasn't unusual for me to not actually play D&D for a year or more, but back then I was reading the D&D FR novels. The monthly flow during the golden days down to the meager trickle of 3-4 per year until they recently axed the novel line completly. With that WotC actually threw me out of D&D, I have mostly accepted the fact that I am a customer of the sort they no longer want. Well then, it's there decision and my personaö attachment to D&D is decreasing with each passing month. It's not as if there aren't more companies willing to fill my limited recreational time then I actually have recreational time (just my "pile of shame" on Steam would likely keep me occupied for a year if all I would do were to finally play through all the games I bought in sale after sale but never even installed yet). I mean if I won the lottery tomorrow and could dedicate 100% of my waking hours to leisure, I likely couldn't fully participate in everything that is offered to me right now (not even thinking about the new venues that would open up to me if I with all the extra money I'd have then). So right now I already have greatly reduced my activity here on Enworld and on all D&D related stuff in total and I guess soon my last motivation to check for morsels of canon FR material pushing the metastory will pass too. I am already way less motivated to keep digging into whether this module is canon than I would have been in the past. As the why canon is important to me? Frankly I am not interessted in discussing that. We'll won't ever understand each other anyway, so we would both lose time for no result or understanding after all. I am part of the crowd for which the "overload" on canon and metastory that was the FR of old was not something that drove me away from FR or had me liking FR despite of it, no I am part of that crowd that like FR specifically because of that. I mean why do I watch GoT for wanting to see how it ends instead of reading one of the 10,000 fanfictions that have long since concluded the story? Or why don't I like the taste of thuna or cucumber while somebody else loves them? I don't think this is something that can be discussed and agreed upon. [/QUOTE]
