D&D General Lost Gygax lore on Learth-Oerth continuum and Oerth pronuncation

[aco175]

The Boston pronunciation would be Arr-th

 

[Paul Farquhar]

The Boston pronunciation would be Arr-th

I thought that was the pirate pronunciation.

 

[Dioltach]

That would be Aaaargh-th! (Exclamation mark included.)

According to Gygax’s post here, it’s pronounced Oi-th.

This is some chance that he wrote "Oyth", and I mis-remembered it as "Oyrth." I'm not sure.

Right, I deleted that email account in my twenties, so as to make a new start, emotionally-wise and identity-wise. That was twenty years ago.
