[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 7011976, member: 40810"] And I am baffled by why anyone would feel insulted and saddened that the fanfiction he and his group spun and their table is not considered for the official canon timeline of events. I'd never dream of being sad that my fanfic for series X didn't become the official season finale or glad that the series ended so that none of my fanfics ever again get invalidated by future episodes. It's just a pity that I'll never get to see a new episode again. [FONT=Verdana] Yes. And it still is even without an official canon version. Your game is no more empowered than before, still a drop in the ocean of countless other fan-fiction-versions going on.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]That'S not quite true. We know that in canon ToT played out between some of Salvatores last books and that the dragons failed to summon Tiamat. We know that RoD is taking place after ToD. We're unfortunately hazy on details on PotA and SKT and since the novel line ended (and probably won't revive with the movie) have to wait for snippets from future releases to pieve it together [/FONT] That's the issue here. Personally I don't care about my game. I am fully aware that any game I might play (and most of the time I don't even play) is me taking a certain point in time from canon, tell my little fan-fic spin-off which most of the time is not even finished and then mostly forget about it. I'd never think of becoming miffed that future supplements and novels assume a different outcome and chain of events than what we had at our table. Why would I ever care? I can't understand that mindset at all? Whats getting me miffed is that after 18 years (heck, the majority of my live) there is no longer that new FR novel available (or being available soon) for me to read. That sucks. [/QUOTE]
