No different than references to orcs in Dragonlance.

Did this happen? I didn't know.

The reference to non-GH deities is because it was a COMPETITION MODULE that had a paragraph appended to it.*

Also, because no one cared about "canon", so where perfectly fine with dropping a few extra Mesoamerican deities into a setting.

*My goodness, are you one of those people that tries to explain why teleporters were used in TOS?

Transporters.

I don't understand why you would say that.

You say that, and then prove that you don't with the rest of the post.

Every module that I listed was placed in Greyhawk. They have hex references for their placement.

Look. If I had created a module, say The Hidden Shrine of Not in Greyhawk. It would have been like most of the modules of the day and just created for people to play in whatever campaign they wished. Now imagine that TSR had two major campaign words, The Known World for BECMI stuff and Greyhawk for advanced stuff. If I wanted to be helpful to those people who wanted to put my module into Greyhawk, I might just pick a likely place for it to be in that campaign world and have a hex reference.

That doesn't make it designed for Greyhawk.

The references to non-canon Greyhawk dieties in Tomoachan can be chalked up to it simply being very early in the development of the setting. No different than references to orcs in Dragonlance.

You're trying really hard to justify your weak position.

They didn't actually have to say, "Well, this material is for Greyhawk. What else would it be for? There WAS only Greyhawk.

@lowkey13 already told you. They were designed just as general modules to be used for whatever world the DM happened to be running, usually homebrew. Tacking on a hex reference to help those who played Greyhawk didn't make those modules for Greyhawk.

I may never live that down. Never get into an argument when you’re thinking about something else!

It's almost as if you mixed it with this thing called D&D or something.

It's easy to tell the difference. D&D is where people wander about killing things, Star Trek is where people wander about trying not to kill things.

I thought Star Trek was where people wander around in red shirts being killed.

That's the same in D&D, apart from the cloaks are red instead of the shirts.

Well, no wonder he confused the two!
