[QUOTE="JEB, post: 9383308, member: 10148"] Eh, they've made some notable changes from previous editions' canon since the policy was revealed, on things that had a history in the game and weren't problematic (such as Spelljammer's cosmology). They do seem to have become more conservative since then (Dragonlance and Planescape hew much closer to their originals) but the policy itself didn't reflect a bias towards established canon. They did what they said - they thought twice before changing old lore... but changed it anyway if they had an idea they liked better. Which is the right place to focus! You can officially rely on what they tell you. (For now, anyway.) Just don't assume anything else that isn't stated. If you want to follow old Greyhawk lore beyond what they say, then have fun doing so! But remember that the official 2024 5e Greyhawk won't be beholden to it.
