[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8005874, member: 7023840"] I don't think you were following what I wrote, or, perhaps, I didn't explain it to your understanding. The full campaign settings were not the design space for the weird stuff pre-Manual of the Planes. That's why there was a relative dearth [I]prior to MoTP, and a flowering afterward (the 2e explosion)[/I]. It's even more pronounced if you view it in terms of Gygax multiverse, post-Gygax. Then, it's Greyhawk/DL, and everything else. No, the weirdness was in the world hopping (Oearth/Yrth/Earth, etc.), genre crossing (explicit rules for Boot Hill and GW, and encouragement to go to non-fantasy worlds in the core rule books), and in the modules (as previously recounted, this was common, from the EX series to the multiple worlds spinning off from Q1 to Amber etc.). So your point, which is what I address in part 3 (already written) is the exact evidence that I was using to support that it did make a difference. Whether you care about the difference, or think it's relevant, is up to you. :) [/QUOTE]
