But as a rule of thumb: I try to get the basics and the feeling right (otherwise, why play in the respective setting?), and expand on my own from there. If there is a comprehensive setting book, I'm willing try to read it. At least if it's not too large - a few hundred pages are really the maximum in terms of dedicated setting material for me. Beyond that, I might skim through other material (e.g. regional guides), and I'm happy to pilfer existing adventure material.I do think that a game where everyone has a very deep understanding of the setting and there is consensus on what is considered canon is great, but I neither have the group nor enough mental capacity for gaming to make this happen in practice.</blockquote>
