[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 3655022, member: 16989"] I handle it this way (as far as FR goes): "Hey, look, I've been running FR for 15 years now (I can't believe its been that long)." "Various Gaming Groups have had their oppurtunity to change the Realms for the better or worse. Some of the actions of players from over a decade ago I still use." "Anything you accomplish can continue to influnce my Realms for years to come." "My FR ceased to be the FR of Canon since the day the 2nd ed Box set came out." "My world is similiar (I try to fit & steer my Realms close to Canon as time goes on as it maximizes compatibility with future FR products), but it is not 100% identical." "If you are unhappy with the possibility of your character having a permanent influence in all my future FR games, maybe you should sit this one out." That's how I do it. That's how Ed & Gary did it. Portions of Greyhawk & FR Canon are there due to what players did. Plus, with FR, you can often find contradictory information or hints that what seemed to happen, didn't really happen. (Bane never 'died' in my FR. Seems like I wasn't the only one who thought Xvim was a wussy). [/QUOTE]
