[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8348903, member: 7006"] And if you care about the lore in the text as a discrete thing, that's fine. More power to you. But apparently the rest of us see a different picture (not necessarily larger, just different.) I see the lore in any one book as something that used to be different in a different book at a different time... and will be different again once that book gets remade (for a new edition, a revamp or whatever.) So it is [I]a waste of my time[/I] to get up in arms about the lore in this one book. Why? Because the book is already written. In THAT book, the lore isn't going to change. I will have to wait for another book to change it again, or go back and use an older book for the lore I want to use. Or really... the truth of the matter... I will just use [I]my own lore[/I]. What is in the books be damned. So go ahead... complain that the lore has changed. That's cool. That's fine. Knock yourself out. But if you do so here on EN World... just know that people are going to argue with you about it. If you're cool with that, then we're all good! After all... that's why I'm posting here in this thread today, because I like arguing with people I disagree with about unimportant things. :) [/QUOTE]
