: Canon, in any fictional universe, is that which the
: original authors or, if deceased, their estate or
: legal successors, have ruled to be official,
: word-on-high God's Honest Truth. Usually in cases of
: contradiction, newer materials are considered
: "more" canon, and with computerized
: materials digital media concurrently released with
: print is usually considered more new than print, since
: it's easier to change.
: In Myth's case there's a catch though, because at first
: glance you would think this definition would include
: the first two games and their manuals, Tales From Myth
: TFL (the official comic), Chimera (the official
: expansion pack), and GURPS Myth (the official
: roleplaying adaptation). However, even though Bungie's
: still around, they already have a legal successor,
: since they sold the rights. So while the above may be
: considered the complete Canon List from an
: artistic-integrity point of view, Myth 3 is added on
: if you take it from a strictly legal point of view,
: along with all it's contradictions of previous
: materials.
: Personally, I prefer artistry over legality, so I don't
: count Myth 3.
: But either way, there is no such thing as canon fan
: creations, though Chimera is close because it was made
: by fans who wound up working at Bungie and got them to
: OK it as canon. (It doesn't have any impact on the
: rest of the universe anyway, so it doesn't matter
: either way).
Hello,
I still don't seeing the reason that some fan levels can't be canon.
IMO, their new flavor texts should be included in the Encyclopedia
