That oerth and earth (and urth and yirth, as they will mention later) are all alternate timelines with relatively recent divergences on a cosmic scale. It's another instance of how much closer the various worlds were at that point. They thought very little of crossing over between boot hill, gamma world and D&D, and we get plenty of examples of that. A far cry from later products (3rd ed ravenloft suffered particularly badly from this) where due to licencing issues, they couldn't even mention stuff from other D&D settings, and had to dance around the issue where those crossovers had been important in the setting's history.  Yeah. It's not like Gary to normally be shy about taking credit for the things he did.</blockquote>
