[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 8212071, member: 7635"] So let me ask [USER=85555]@Bedrockgames[/USER] or [USER=20990]@QuentinGeorge[/USER] (or anyone else who want to chime in: a multi-part question: You are in Barovia. Strahd hasn't sealed the borders. You walk up to the very Western edge of Barovia. What do you see. 1.) Invidia (or Borca, depending how North/South you are) 2.) A Wall of Mist Step across the border "out" of Barovia, you are now see 1.) The adjunct domain you wanted to be in 2.) A large white wall of fog and mist which obscures all sight. You look behind you, you see 1.) Barovia, as you left it 2.) Nothing but Mist and Fog You arrive at the next domain. You can be reasonably assured you are now in 1.) Eastern Invidia/Borca 2.) Whatever domain the Mists decided to drop you into. When you left Barovia, it was 12pm (noon) on Monday the 12th of January* (I don't recall if Ravenloft has a unique calendar, it's not discussed in any cannon books to my knowledge). Upon your arrival to your new destination, it is 1.) The same day, roughly the same time and you can account for any time discrepancy by travel time. 2.) The same day, but any random time later (dawn, dusk, midnight) which cannot simply be accounted for by travel time 3.) A completely different time, day or season. (8pm on August 19th). 4.) Different every time you cross the border. I'm curious to see how you feel crossing the borders of the core works. Because [spoiler] If the setting acts like a natural setting, all the answers should be 1. Leave the border from Barovia to Invidia should be like crossing the border of France and Germany or Kentucy to Tennesse. If the answers are mostly 2 or more, then travel between domains isn't much different between core to core neighbors and potentially traveling to any other domains; it's at the whim of DM/Mists and the "core" is merely a suggesiton. If it's the latter, it's not that much different in practice than isolated islands; you step into the Mists with a destination in mind and hope the Mists take you there. [/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
