Or have you always hated Eberron and Athas?A care for canon only as a point of inspiration. To me canon is what my group plays (it is a game), not what WotC, TSR, Paizo, Ed Greenwood, or Keith Baker print on a page. Now I actually use quite a bit of those written words in my campaign, but I have never felt beholden to it. I don't want to drag this conversation on, and apologize for this lengthy response (it was originally much shorter), I really just wanted to comment that I don't understand your "shrinking of the universe" comment.  No need to explain, I just have a different perspective. The semi-unified multiverse concept doesn't shrink anything for me, but instead expands possibilities. I think the reason I see this differently stems from our different perspectives on "canon." Though I understand what you say (about the universe and canon), it is such a foreign viewpoint to me that I just can't truly embrace it enough to really walk in your shoes. That is rare for me so I am struggling a bit to let it go. I feel I need to understand your perspective Scribe, but I just can't. OK, that is it for me - have a great day!</blockquote>
