[QUOTE="Bumbles, post: 4829732, member: 83457"] The same as I would expect from a writer in the universe...if they're going to completely break canon, then they'd better do a good job of it and keep me entertained. Ezekiel Sims broke Spiderman Canon. I didn't mind, I was entertained. I cannot say the same about the Spider-clone saga. Even so-called authentic stories can bore me. So really, I guess it depends on the particulars. I would hug a GM who gave me a version of Senator Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker I could believe in! Heck, I'd love a GM who flat-out told me that whole thing with Padme dying...wasn't how it happened. And then came up with something more believable. Which would include her being attacked by Captain Kirk's toupee. Yes, George Lucas, you failed me, and there will be a reckoning. Absolutely. I left a Vampire game because the GM wouldn't let me use a rule in the books regarding my clan. Not in any special book. In the main vampire book, one that was practically fundamental to the clan. Sorry, but if I can't rely on something in the main book, then I don't want to play the game. Depends on my character, doesn't it? In the case above, I'd consider my character knew everything in the description of the clan involved. Kind of intrinsic to the character, y'know? Not for the reasons involved so far. I decline to state what reasons were involved. I am far more likely to leave than I am to force another out though. Enough that I avoid running in established environments with people who I don't know can handle the occasional mix-up and non-canon moment. Absolutely. You betcha. [/QUOTE]
