I was reading "EPIC OF AERTH" and I came across the flora & faura section. I wonder if this stuff was planned for the upcoming adventures on the G-D maps or was this made post-TSR with a plan for "getting away" from the IP of D&D/Greyhawk.

Maybe a little of both. From talking to Gary, it seems likle he has notes and notes and notes. He was probably making a definate effort to distance himself from TSR IP, but that wouldn't stop him from using notes he had made previously, but never used.

And my vote is if he would not have lost Oerth, there would be no Aerth.

Part of me says as a second world but the other part of me says that part is an idiot!  Seriously, I think its a key of sorts to Oerth in some ways but saying that features the horrid "tang" of agreeing with the judicial ruling. So the more persistent the connection made then the more loathsome the task of making a connection. DAMN YOU LORRAINE!!! |

Well, Gary was working on a series of "Alternate Oerths" before he left TSR, but most of Epic was written between 1987 and 1990, IIRC--I could look back at some letters. AErth became an utterly independent entity, with its parallel world of Phaeree, but note the end of the Gord series! ^__^
