[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9184042, member: 23751"] They say that they use canon internally and then show how it isn't canon. First, Zariel is canonically the archduke at least for now = not canon. They can't reserve the right to change things as they see fit behind the scenes and expect that there will be canon. Second, for canon to be canon, it MUST be public facing. That's what canon is. It can't be canon if we don't see it, and not seeing it is what they are saying when they say it is internal. If that were true, they would be releasing settings with a lot more detail. So far nothing that they've released with regard to older settings has been worth buying for me. I have much more setting material in the 2e and 3e books. The small tidbits of difference offered in the 5e setting books isn't worth the cost. A new 5e player who wants even a moderate amount of detail for those settings will have to go to prior editions to get it. The new settings are very detail light. This is talking about questionable writings with regard to inclusion and such. Not many expect that sort of thing to be brought forward into new editions. It's not at all what I am talking about and quite frankly can be changed without getting rid of canon. And again, canon that we can't see because it's used internally isn't canon. It's simply an internal process. Also, to repeat since it was said at the beginning of this post. That they say straight out that stuff is canon "for now" means that it isn't canon. Canon is stronger than that. [/QUOTE]
