[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7887893, member: 7006"] Nope. Because I am unconcerned whether anything in any campaign setting is "updated" or not. "Canon" is completely unnecessary because once you start your game, WotC's "canon" of the world goes out the window. If I want to play a game in Greyhawk... I'll go onto DMs Guild and buy any previous Greyhawk setting material I want to use and then run a game in Greyhawk. But I have absolutely no need to start at the "most recent" version of the setting and go from there. Any time and location in Greyhawk will be fine. Likewise, if I want to run a Realms game in Turmish, I have quite a number of books and wikis that have info on Turmish from countless years of Realmslore, and will just pick a time and theme in Turmish to set my game. If people are deliberately holding themselves back from running a Realms game in some corner of the Realms because they don't have the "most recent" info on it (information that would essentially be just some writer at the WotC building making up some random crap and typing it into a computer)... and instead are running in the Sword Coast not because they want to but only because that's where WotC has chosen to give them the "up to date" information... then I think they are cutting off their noses to spite their faces.
