Heh! The memory is a funny thing, but then again, I didn't sit down & read them with my WoG box set at hand to double-check the references either. <br /><br />I agree that the differences should be inclusive with what we hold canon, as cultural & language, rather than mistakes or IP/copyright issues. It just makes the meta-gaming reasons a non-issue. ;)<br /><br />Good research, Morty. :DBobjesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694236042744847270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9034454877966866286.post-1961546607323207962011-04-05T22:12:13.558-05:002011-04-05T22:12:13.558-05:00Valkaun: Yer welcome!

It's just weird reading this book decades after the fact. It feels like rediscovering Greyhawk to a small extent.Mike Bridgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741591268012556455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9034454877966866286.post-47086443864530030902011-04-05T17:51:35.206-05:002011-04-05T17:51:35.206-05:00I've never seen those linguistic acrobatics as...I've never seen those linguistic acrobatics as changes or differences so much as differences in pronunciation, native vs. Oeridian (or whatever) spelling, etc. Much the same way Beijing was called Peking by the English. In my Greyhawk, it's still Ull if you're in, say, Keoland, but if you're actually there the locals will pronounce it Yoll.Greyhawk Grognardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929743865700766901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9034454877966866286.post-17692071205559238672011-04-05T16:54:41.191-05:002011-04-05T16:54:41.191-05:00Great research, very helpful!
