Is it canon or not? Being reprinted in a core book...yet its just a lazy Rifter copy/paste which still includes the words "optional".
What are your thoughts?
Basically...do I need to even bother buying these things?

Re: Bonus Material in Hard Cover edition books
If it's in an official rule book, and it includes the word "optional," then the material is optional canon material.

Re: Bonus Material in Hard Cover edition books
So... now a lot of you guys must have bought these hardcovers with bonus material, right? (Chaos Earth, Nightbane, After the Bomb, Ninjas & Superspies... is that all of them?)
Would any of you mind listing the Rifter articles they have included in each one (and the Rifters they are taken from, if known), to give us potential buyers an idea of what is on offer? Thanks in advance for your help!

i listed the Chaos Earth one in the chaos earth section of the forums.

and as far as optional vs canon.. the articles are printed exactly as they were in the rifter, so they would remain non-canon 'optional' material just like any other rifter article.
