I'll agree there's wiggle room there.I get where you're coming from with this angle but to me those seem like two very different things. The fact that it's written in English is - as you say - just a linguistic convention necessary for intelligibility. That the characters speak English is no more evidenced by the text than Latin American localizations evidence they speak Spanish. The fact that the gods are set among the Outer Planes of the Great Wheel though is an actual bit of worldbuilding, even if it's a relatively minor one. I very much doubt (though I admit I cannot say for certain) that translations of D&D material into other languages has typically resulted in the relocation of Greyhawk's gods.The Marvel example seems even more removed, especially since (unlike Parker's clothing or the time-sensitive aspects of earlier stories), the Great Wheel has remained relevant to Greyhawk throughout its history.</blockquote>
