Is the term "canon" too loaded to use for rules discussion? I hate hearing phrases like "that's not in canon" or "where is that in canon" or "that goes against canon" on this forum.
Always debating rules as for or against canon says "gaming is my religion" to me, and not in a good way. I would much prefer "where was that in the books?" or "that's kind of contrary to the tone in the books" and less loaded phrases like that. Is it just me? |
