(I mixed D&D with Call of Cthulhu.)<BR/><BR/>Most world hopping is done though portals of various types. Alien Gates ("Wildside" & "Stargate") Mirrors ("Mirror of her dreams") closets & wardrobes & pools of water ("Narnia"). In the "His Dark Materials" series world hopping is accomplished with a knife that can cut the fabric between worlds, or by the energy of a sacrificed soul.<BR/><BR/>I've always been partial to the use of common items. Cardboard boxes ("Phantom toll booth") Computers ("Tron") Refrigerators ("Ghostbusters") Doorways and arches have already been used. <BR/><BR/>What about chalkboards? Magic chalk that the player uses to draw a world gate. Sort of like a pentagram, but it has to be vertical to work. (Horizontal portals on the ground just lead to otherworldly dirt.) The runes required for the portal are actually formula.<BR/><BR/>Buckets, barrels, wishing wells, aerosol spray (Universe in a can!).<BR/><BR/>Whups. I'm rambling. It's late. It is just a fun idea to play with.Calladushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620879847877868166noreply@blogger.com
