@tieflingdio Canon is whatever you want to be canon for your game. There's so many options to give folks ideas. Grab what you like.
Also, lore is always contracdictory. There so much academics in history which argue of what is the truth.

Éric Paquette (ericmpaq@dice.camp)'s status on Tuesday, 22-Oct-2024 23:45:40 JST Éric Paquette @silverwizard @tieflingdio I view the high/grey/wood/valley/ghost/sea/sun/moon/etc. designitation as cultural identifiers for standard D&D elves.

Éric Paquette (ericmpaq@dice.camp)'s status on Tuesday, 22-Oct-2024 23:32:19 JST Éric Paquette @tieflingdio I think it was mentioned in the Complete Book of Elves but it's been a hot minute since I read that.
I'm not a fan of Gygax nor of his ideas nor ideology.

Éric Paquette (ericmpaq@dice.camp)'s status on Thursday, 17-Oct-2024 10:10:56 JST Éric Paquette @youronlyone My favourite modern hack of THAC0 is in Scarlet Heroes where THAC0 is a target number.
They took the formula of d20+modifier must equal or higher than THAC0-AC and changes it to:
D20+modifier+AC must equal or higher than THAC0. #ttrpg -

Éric Paquette (ericmpaq@dice.camp)'s status on Friday, 07-Jul-2023 21:49:33 JST Éric Paquette @silverwizard I've played and run Call of Cthulhu and the investigators are the protagonists of their horror story. A protagonist is not necessarily a hero. A protagonist is the main character that you follow in the story and who drives the story forward. Without investigators looking into the mystery, you don't drive the story forward since the mystery will stay hidden.
