[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8545173, member: 6801845"] So if it would take several weeks or months to get from A to B, how often would that come up in a campaign? Wouldn't that [I]become[/I] most of the campaign? First, there's nothing wrong with that. I limit teleportation and planar travel for multiple reasons in my campaign. So if the group needs to get from A to B we either hand-wave it because it's not particularly dangerous, we play through it and it becomes a focal point for a while. Most of the time we do a hybrid. "You've been travelling for a week and see smoke rising from over the ridge and hear war drums." Then something interesting happens or the group figures out how to avoid it all. But [I]in game[/I] it doesn't really matter. It might come up as a nice get out of jail free card now and then, but if you're in a literal jail teleportation is probably been blocked anyway. Take away teleportation and the game changes slightly. Include it and make it useful? It's practically a spell tax. EDIT: I also have alternative means of fast(er) travel, but I always want going from point A to B to be interesting with decisions to make and possible danger if A and B are a significant distance apart. I just think teleportation is boring and knowing the sequence for random teleportation circles doesn't make sense either. [/QUOTE]
