I can put into the setting what I want. I can steal from other sources, and I can put my own spin of things, without ever worrying whether I will contradict another source. Important part for me is here to avoid "disappointing" player expectations. Of course I could run the Forgotten Realms and say that Waterdeep is ruled by Vasca Dagama, an Elven Bard instead of who ever is ruling it in canon, but the player would have expected something different - and maybe even hoped for.The disadantage of course is that the players know little about the setting, and I will have to ensure they know all that is necessary to understand what's going on. But on the other hand, it also gives the freedom - they can make suggestions (conciously or unconciously) and I can work it in.</blockquote>
