The Secret History / Re: The Web

The reason I prefer to stick with canon as much as possible is that my imagination has its limits, so if I have to keep thinking of things they get repetitive. Using published material gives me a source of things that are different than what I'd think of (sure, I tweak them, but I try to keep the basics there). But the more that my campaign veers from canon, the harder a lot of published material becomes to use.
So, for example, in my campaign Celedyr left a foundation portal into Marianne, 'just in case' -- letting the party find that was a cool moment. BUT he's never used it, so things continue on per canon (so far). Likewise we will do this Chicago city spirit thing, but it is possible that the spider spirit will eat another spirit and lay a young that looks like the consumed spirit (but is secretly also spider), so that that we can at least have a veneer of canon even if the party got to do their thing.
