I choose a starting point, and go from there, in my own version, my own timeline. The characters start in the Forgotten Realms, meet up with Elminster and manage to kill him? Good for them. A lot of XP and loot, move on. Same in any setting. Playing Star Wars? The characters destroy Cloud City while at that same time the Battle of Yavin rages in full? Fett will have to find another place to capture Han, and Luke will have his hand lobbed off elsewhere.Of course, a lot of purists will shudder. And the most prudent way of handling this as a DM/GM/ST or whatever you call it in the game you're playing, is to avoid canon. So, unless the players actively search for some well-known character or locale, my adventure will take place on planet Driggu, instead of Bespin and Cloud City. My Realms adventures are the same. This, too, allows the charaters to shine as the heroes, without having some well-known NPC show up all the time, hugging the spotlight and some such.</blockquote>
