Reynolds, any of the arbitrary destructions of nations from FtA, etc.)  Incorporate the history in the LGG, take historical references and things like that, but don't advance the plot or anything like that.  Provide a fertile field and seeds, and let the DM grow his or her own garden.  Give the whole thing the look of the FRCS, and voila.  The bad canon is gone, the setting is fresh, started anew for DMs and players.  The timeline is not advanced; modules are simply released for players to play in, with options for linking them together.  There is no overarcing plot, no "canon" events that take place except as determined by modules.  Give the DM and players the tools, and let them do the work.  Don't force them to renovate their projects if they don't like what you're doing.  Blow off everything from FtA and afterwards, and things should be fine.</blockquote>
