[QUOTE="Dungeonosophy, post: 8626397, member: 6688049"] For the record, I emailed Gary Gygax once. It was around the early 2000s, at the start of 3.0E. I told Gary I was planning on running a mega-campaign that tied in all of the TSR worlds, including his Oerth-Yarth-Uerth-Aerth-Earth continuum. (Unfortunately, it still hasn't happened yet!) My two questions were: 1) How does he pronounce the name "Oerth"? I offered two guesses: "Orth" or "Oh-erth." 2) Does he consider the world of Lejendary Earth to be part of that continuum? I appreciate how responsive he was. He expressed encouragement for my campaign. He took time to write a pithy email. His answers: 1) "Oyrth" 2) He affirmed that "Learth" was, in his mind, part of that "Alternate Oerth" continuum. Since I was not super familiar with the Lejendary Adventure materials, I was surprised and pleased he gave it an "Earth" style name: "Learth." I hadn't heard that name before. That is my recollection. I lost that Yahoomail account long ago. -Travis [/QUOTE]
