: How interesting. There was a thread on the Story Forum a
: few months ago, but I don't think anyone ever came up
: with a list like that. I just mentioned as many
: sources as I could think of.
We established a set of "canon categories" here a while back. They were something like:
1 - Cannon
a - Info from released materials by the author (like games and manuals)
b - Info from BOTH prerelease and postrelease materials (see below)
2 - Pseudocannon
a - Info from author-authorized 3rd party postrelease materials (like GURPS Myth and Chimera).
b - Info from prepublished or authentically leaked prerelease materials (like the stuff on Bungie's or Eidos' old websites)
3 - Noncannon
a - Info from materials that would only be "canon" in the legal sense but weren't actually made by the original authors (like Myth 3)
b - Info from materials created and generally accepted as true by the fan community, based on extrapolations from canon and pseudocanon sources.
And then within any category, later released supercede earlier ones, and within packages with both digital and printed materials (like a game and manual), the digital counts as "newer" and thus more authoratative.
