Canon Histories, Revisited
We actually meant to address this ... sometime last month, I think? And life got distracting and we got distracted, so we never finished hashing it out.
But as the rules currently stand, there's some big hoops about prior canon, and I swear the rules made sense when I wrote them up, but now it's kind of turning out to be more of a hassle than not.
So rather than linking to the in-game canon of characters who have been played and dropped, we're just going to have a list of previously played characters to explain the "hey, haven't you been here before" sorts of situations, but we're eliminating the rigmarole regarding keeping prior game canon and versions and whatnot.
So every canon that has already been played and then dropped will be clean-slated when reapplied, unless the player would prefer otherwise, in which case we'd discuss it on a case-by-case basis. We will be adjusting the FAQ to reflect this sometime tonight.
Does that make sense?
If not, you know the drill. :)
