I'm sure there are some die hards out there that absolutely think they need an explanation like that from Greenwood himself. But no one actually needs that. It has literally never come up in my campaign. This is my point...you take ad much or as little as you like. I believe that you've played Dragonlance, right? I remember a thread about Canon and discussion about a gnomish wild mage and if that was "in canon" for the setting. Now, my knowledge of Dragonlance pretty much ends after the "Legends" trilogy, which I read when they came out or shortly thereafter as a kid. Am I not able to play in the setting? Must I buy sourcebooks or novels about the War of Souls and whatever else followed? Is it not possible for me to have the PCs in my game replace the Companions? Or to have them doing something else entirely? Canon's decided at the table. Anyone can play in any setting with as little or as much info as they have or like. Sure, certain settings may not appeal to someone based on asthetic reasons or personal taste. I can understand that. I just fon't think this "abundance of info" thing is really a problem, or that NPCs are really a problem.</blockquote>
