I use it by saying, "Yeah, you hear lots of these stories from the Bards, and as rumors in the taverns. If you want to find out what really happened travel there and find out the truth for yourself."That way, I use "canon", but the "TRUTH" is worked out by adventuring/travelling there and finding out how I decided to incorporate "canon". Which is either totally a "Bards Tale", completely true, or usually something close, but with a lot of facts being wrong.Like in Faerun I never had the "Time of Troubles" happen. I had Cyric and the new "God of Death" Kelemvor show up, but Mystra, Bane, etc... stayed the same, except Myrkul, and all the "Time of Troubles" were was a Bards Tale offering a possible explanation as to why these deific changes took place.My "canon" story was that God Wars do take place and the people of Faerun were fortuante enough to be alive to see the results of such a war. Plus it helped that I kept Assassins as an NPC class.So even when I ignore, or rewrite, canon, I at the very least incorporate "official canon" as a Bardic Tale.My players accepted it.</blockquote>
