[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 1452440, member: 8461"] The question that still seems most pertinent though is: if materials in an official fansite and [I]Dragon[/I]/[I]Dungeon[/I] clash, which is taken as being more official? I still say that the magazines win out, since canonity (which, make no mistake, is the same as "official" in this context) is source-based (e.g. authority on what is and is not canon flows from a single authoritative source, in this case WotC), and the magazines are closer to that source than the fan sites (given that the Paizo people, and the entire organization, regularly consult and work with WotC, trade materials, collaborate, etc). Before this sets off any flames, I want to point out that this is in NO way a judgement call on the quality of either works! The people at athas.org are nothing less than exemplary in the work they've done, and set a standard that I only wish the other official fan sites could live up to. Official doesn't necessarily mean something is better than something else, just that it's more official. [/QUOTE]
