You watch a show or read a series, you're watching what the creators put out with minimal input from the viewers and readers. If you don't like a story-arc, the best you can do is stop engaging in the story, or write fanfic.RPGs are somewhat creator-side but mostly player-side. And there are millions of players, each of which run or play in their games differently and this is not only OK, but encouraged. If a game designer actually wrote "you must adhere to my canon at all times and can't deviate from it," that person would be laughed at.The Astral Sea was a thing from 4e, as were ships in it. And you know how I converted some Spelljammer monsters recently? Issue #159 was all about Spelljammers... and had an article called "Voidjammers!: An Astral taxi service for AD&D 1st Edition games" with a ship that was very similar to those of Spelljammer.[ATTACH=full]264538[/ATTACH]So the kernels of the idea have been there forever. It was just made "canonical" in 5e. But as I said before, you've never been required to accept the game's canon as your own, and lots of people don't.</blockquote>
