[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9335302, member: 467"] It's May the 4th, so I will use Star Wars as an example. First off, I do not feel beholden to any particular system. If whatever idea I have works best with WEG SWd6, that's fine. If Savage Worlds is the better choice, I'll use that. I might even use Saga Edition if for some reason I thought that was the best choice (more jedi focused, for example). Second, I only consider official lore to.the extent that it makes the experience better. I will throw out anything in the EU or nee shows/movies if I think it is in the way. I want to play Star Wars, though, so I generally don't intentionally contradict anything. I just ignore stuff. But one of the reasons I like SW, especially for gaming, is that the lore is shallow and not particularly fragile. Look at all the futzibg around the comics and Clone Wars have done with it. Finally, I always have a goal in mind. It might be a particular story, but usually it is a particular theme within SW. Everything I do is focused on that goal, and things that oppose or conflict with that get ignored or removed. [/QUOTE]
