Explain to me why a stable portal to another world would not be world-breaking.

>>96139207 (OP)
Can you modify it or is it fixed, is it easy to guard it or anything to keep them from being abused?

who cares nigga just do it
>implying you even have a game

>>96139227
>easy to guard
No such thing my friend.

>>96139243

>>96139207 (OP)
Oh fuck it’s a door! Holy shit! A fucking door! Whatever will we fucking do?! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

>>96139207 (OP)
There are no billionaires on either side who could throw all of other people's money at developing a proper mode of exploitation around it.

>>96139278
An single open hatch is enough to destroy a large vessel. Doors are more important than you realize.

>>96139207 (OP)
You answered it yourself: it's stable.

>>96139207 (OP)
As long as you keep it secret and have a competent group overseeing it there shouldn't be any (major) issues

>>96139207 (OP)
Explain to me how this tooic relates to your last traditional games session? With the high detail and specifity to explain the need to post this outside the worldbuilding general.

>>96139207 (OP)
What game, what system?

>>96139438
Good thing the portal is not to an infinite ocean then faggot

>>96139207 (OP)
Stable portals, by definition, do not destabilise their local environments.
If you mean a persistent portal with no pretensions of stability, then that could be a problem for either side.

For the sake of argument, perhaps you mean socially or technologically disruptive by the term "world-breaking." In which case perhaps the other world is boring? Imagine a medieval world who get access to a stable portal to a moon-like environment. Airless, filled with (to them) unremarkable rocks, etc. It would be a remarkable phenomenon to witness but fundamentally no more important than the Bolton Strid.

>Imagine a medieval world who get access to a stable portal to a moon-like environment. Airless
Wouldn't all the air of the Medieval world get sucked out like bath water circling the drain?

>>96139207 (OP)
What happens if you enter from behind? What happens if you break its frame?

>>96139207 (OP)
Worlds are big. Doors are small. Figure it out.
Its magic handwavium which can be hard countered with plotneedium or extended with book sales. ymmv.
I've had a small doorway to a different place in a hex crawl for ages, that party had a tpk so we started somewhere else. Same setting as another campaign, I've vaguely been keeping track of how many hexes it should be at by now. Might come up, might not.
>where the fuck did all these flowers come from?

>>96139828
It's solid from the back, and if you break the frame it closes.

>>96139207 (OP)
The GM can control what's on the other side so the players don't get access to gamebreaking equipment. Comparatively, giving the players a ftl space ship is much worse because then they can just fly everywhere which trivializes travel. You'll also have to prepare multiple planets instead of just one.

BTW stargate went to shit for this exact reason, the show was better when sg-1 had to really on the gates to go anywhere.

>>96139809
No, because metaphisical gravity keeps it in.

>>96139207 (OP)
I'm not sure what you mean by world-breaking in this context. Elaborate your premise.

>>96139809
We just don't know, when you connect two areas with different air pressures, the air should move to equalize the pressure in both. But this would also connect two areas with different gravitational (and geomagnetic) fields, and classical physics can't answer how that would behave.

It would be something akin to the GATE anime, but without the waifus. Just a military trying to stir up shit, with the more advanced world curbstomping it and pouring in to plunder its riches.
If the other world were to be full-on isekai with magic etc, the non-magical world would also invade in order to steal the secrets of magic or magical objects/sources.
Such gates would be true strategic assets, and could potentially spark conflicts, especially if they cannot be reproduced or the country/countries that have those restrict access.

>>96139207 (OP)
If new, it could result in a realignment and shift in both worlds. If preexisting, both worlds would have developed with it present, like a land bridge.

>>96139438
>India
What point are you trying to make here?

>>96139207 (OP)
Depends on what system & setting you're talking about. Which is?

>>96140657
It's Dungeon Crawl Classics, but that has no direct bearing on my question.

>>96140705
It absolutely does, because the metaphysics involved vary massively between setting and are modeled (or not) by the system. Please at least attempt to post correctly in the future.

>>96139809
>Stable portals, by definition, do not destabilise their local environments.
A merely persistent portal will stay open while all kinds of shit happens to the environment on either side. A stable portal merely allows transportation without undue change. Magic is allowed to recognise intention. Physics not so much.

Doesn't Harn have random portals?

>>96139207 (OP)
just don't be a retarded gm?

>>96139672
If it's causing trouble, just bury it. Works every time.

>>96139207 (OP)
Because on either side of the portal there is always an indestructible Bonker Giant, who obliterates anyone who tries to do anything zany with it. Their Bonker flattens those hit by it, into contiguous blobs about a centimeter thick. They usually stick to the Bonker and peel off as it is lifted back up from the strike, to waft to the ground, dead.

>>96139207 (OP)
>because it's hard to find
>because it's hard to access

There are plenty of reasons you can ass pull at the drop of a hat

>>96139207 (OP)
Traditional games?

>>96139809
>get sucked out
Correction, sir, that's blown out

>>96139207 (OP)
Yo bitch tits, have you not hear of RIFTS?

>>96139207 (OP)
depends on the nature of the other world, I suppose. What if it had an ambient emperature of 1000 degrees, had an atmosphre of hydrogen cyanide, had the surface gravity of a dwarf star, was stuffed full of demons, undead or brain devouring mind worms? All of them would be pretty world breaking.

>>96143464
Rifts, TORM, D&D, Traveller, Startrek, Dr Who, etc. Do your own research next time you mindless fucking spambot.

>>96142223
Gha-ooolld?

>>96139207 (OP)
Why are worlds viewed in relation to each other without physical logic the coolest thing ever? We may never know

>>96143753
isn't RIFTS very broken though?

>>96139207 (OP)
cause you don't let it be?
fucking dickhead

>>96139207 (OP)
Why would it be breaking if it was stable? Your question answers itself.

>>96139892
>but without the waifus
Only if you have a shit DM

>>96139207 (OP)
Ask the worldbuilding general.

>>96143464
Cock and ball torture

>>96144456
>Dr Who
I'm not aware of Dr Who rpgs, and honestly I don't know how'd you even build a game based on the franchise as it's one guy with a sidekick.
