Gorax the Destroyer can exist in any number of imaginary worlds simultaneously, and it does not create any kind of temporal rift, it doesn't threaten the stability or authenticity of any of those worlds, and the use of the character in one world has no bearing on it's use in the other.To suggest that using a character in one game has an inherent, actual, real effect in other gameworlds, and that this effect occurs without the permission or knowledge of the participants in that game makes no sense. If the participants continue to imagine that Gorax is in their world, and only in their world, then within the shared space of their game, they are correct. Nothing anyone else can do will change that. The only people that control what happens in the shared imaginary world of an RPG are the people particpating in the game. No matter what things you choose to imagine in your game, my game is unaffected.Edit: grammar.</blockquote>
