[QUOTE="ghostcat, post: 6031418, member: 30034"] Cor get distracted by RL for a couple of days and you lot have almost designed the world :-) My thoughts are that the differences in culture and technology of each slice will depend on how the portals are perceived. As I see it there are three main scenarios: 1. Where the general population know of the gates, it as something out of a myth. The gates position and operation is know only to a handful of adventures and explorers. In this case the culture and technology of each slice will be distinct. 2. The portals are not generally known about and are controlled by a single organisation: church, druids, traders guild, etc. In this case, the actual effect on the culture and technology will depend on the organisation's aims. For instance a church will be trying to convert the people but wouldn't care less about technology. While a trade organisation would equalise technology but wouldn't give a fig about the culture. 3. The portals are generally know about and used. They could still be under the control of a guild but in this case the guild simply charges for their use. In this case, cultures and technology would be more in line with what exists on present day earth. Comment? [/QUOTE]
