[QUOTE="Primal, post: 4910903, member: 30678"] See, that's the trouble with settings and published lore and different gaming styles; I know people who don't ever read the "fluffy" parts from the books (not even in the campaign setting) and everyone is still fine with it. Doesn't work in every group, though. And although this "canon fanaticism" is often attributed to FR, every book/movie/setting has its own diehard fans; I'm sure there are people on this forum who would rise and walk out if I ran, say, a SW campaign and said "Darth Vader? Who's Darth Vader?" or "Oh, that annoying Skywalker never existed in my campaign". At the very least I would probably need to justify how my version without Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker is different from the "official" SW Universe. I'm not sure why people pick up published settings if they're not willing to read the books (and I'm not saying you have to read *EVERY* book); running a homebrew setting would be much easier, if you have fanatic Eberron/Dragonlance/FR/Etcetera fans in the group.
