Default TFT "Legends"

My comments on "older" materials.

Star Wars had many books published before Disney took over. Disney then decided to tidy up the disorganized and somewhat conflicting previous materials and put out their “official” History. (and it also allowed them to ignore storylines they didn't like.)
In order to keep those previous books from going into the dungheap, Disney now considers them “Legends”. Some people may know them, but they are not official canon.


The Fantasy Trip has its own “official” history: The TFT items that have been republished since 2018. Some materials published before that were brought into the “official” fold by publishing TFT Companion. These include anything sold on the Warehouse 23 website.

Those items that are outside of what Steve was able to bring back might be considered as TFT “Legends.”
These would be things sponsored by Metagaming like:
OrbQuest, Security Station, Silver Dragon, Unicorn Gold, The Land Beyond the Mountains: Darok & Dihad.
Also articles published in magazines like Interplay, Vindicator and the like. Even earlier articles in The SpaceGamer.
And finally, there are all the fan contributions in fan websites throughout the net.

These "Legends" can be mined for data or even played. And even if they are not canon, they are unofficial tales that arose around Cidri locations, peoples and events.
