[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7749329, member: 7006"] Unfortunately, you just never realized back then that even 1E was part of the D&D multiverse. It was just never referenced. So any belief in individuality or uniqueness was just an illusion because you didn't know any better. :) Why did ever single player have red dragons in their worlds that did the same amount of damage and had the same number of attacks, and had the same baseline personality? Because we all used the Monster Manual as our guide. Our red dragons were all virtually identical. Because they were all just "alternate universe" red dragons that were all part of the D&D multiverse. Or why were there tens of thousands of 'Acererak's out there? All who had the exact same tomb, all of whom did the exact same thing of pulling adventurers into his tomb to kill them? All of whom had the exact same traps and abilities to do so? Because they were all just "alternate universe" Acereraks that were all part of the D&D multiverse. And that's really the point. If you play D&D, and use the tools of D&D, you are a part of D&D. It's just the way it is. [/QUOTE]
