: However, I'd say GURPS and M3
: fit above most other 'lesser canon'.
For lack of better name, back when Archer and I debated, I thought of titles: "pseudo-canon" or "deutero-canon" for things classified as 'lesser canon'.
Personally I'd pick "pseudo-canon" because it's more in line with the terminology used in certain writings according to particular belief systems. For example, the three Books of Enoch are labeled "Old Testament Pseudepigrapha" which means Yeah they're old writings but they aren't recognized as inspired, etc. etc.
"Deutero-canon" (a term I ripped off of the Catholic 'Deuterocanonical' works) would mean more like "second-canon". This implies in certain nuances of meaning that it was added at a later time but still considered with the rest of the canon. For that reason I'd pick "pseudo-canon" because there is no unsure innuendo.
