[QUOTE="Lizard, post: 4169379, member: 1054"] You think this was in the 1e DMG? You mean, just like 1e. My PHB doesn't say "These are the planes for my, Gary Gygax's, campaign of Greyhawk". It just says "This is how the unvierse is laid out". The original Dragon article which originated the "Great Wheel" was just titled something like "Cosmology in D&D" -- not "Cosmology in my campaign". Here's the exact text: "There exists an infinite number of parallel universes and places of existence in the fantastic "multiverse" of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. All these "worlds" co-exist, but how "real" each is depends upon the development of each by the game referee. The chart and explanations which follow show only the various planes tied to that of normal existence. The parallel universes are not shown, and their existence might or night not be actual." Where do you get 'Greyhawk' from this? Note: "The multiverse of *Advanced Dungeons & Dragons*", not "The multiverse of the Greyhawk campaign." 3e had more Greyhawk detail in it than 1e did. You seem to be confusing the fact that later settings created their own cosmology, or that 2e very explicitly moved material to Greyhawk, with the idea it was originally setting specific. [/QUOTE]
