[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4502109, member: 70778"] As others have said, coming from a WotC product, everything is considered canon, or core, or what term have you. The electronic magazines form another source, may not be viewed as harshly in terms of article temperment or wording, but coming from the makers of the game it does sit that the words are law for the game. So your intent is one thing, but being part of the company means you are building on the whole of everything else that makes up that game. It is good that you feel so strongly towards your style of play and enjoyment and can share that with others in this type of format as a Dungeon article. i tore into your [B]Be Fair[/B] section on another thread here is you are able to search the forums and find it. May have ben the sacred cows thread. Which goes to show that the various style are out there, and you are providing many readers with a side of the coin they may not have seen before. You just have to make sure that you do not deface their side of the coin while doing so as Dungeon is an official core D&D product. Also, sadly, your article, and others for Dragon and Dungeon, are one-way streets and not conversations with anyone. While the various online forums allow for discussion and conversation, the articles are not capable of this. Thus why there is a strong possible chance to come across heavy handed with words and opinions that would seem to reflect the view of the company and the intent for the game itself. Sadly, again, in some elitist way if you will, even without that intent at all. [/QUOTE]
