[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1929205, member: 63"] That ability was inspired by Myst, actually. I'm not quite sure what you are asking. With Scribe of Worlds, anything less than the highest difficulty probably won't get you to a specific spot that you know of. You might create a portal that says, "Second-story room with a computer full of fantasy fiction, next to a pile of blankets on the floor that make up the bed of the room's occupant. A sliding door leads into a closet, while a second door opens into a hallway that connects to the rest of the apartment. In this room, a ceiling fan with four light bulbs illuminates poorly-organized piles of books and writing implements. Two windows look out upon a parking lot, surrounded by light trees and a sprawling old-folks community. Beyond the community is a growing suburb of a massive metropolis marked by three paved freeways - one traveling east-west, one north-south, and one encircling the metropolis and its suburbs in a ring. But here in this apartment room, furnishings are spare and frugal, belying the giant city outside." That's a fairly good description of my apartment, in 134 words. But there are likely many such places in the infinte multiverse, so even if I wrote that and wanted to have a portal to my apartment, I'd probably end up going to some place that is similar. Only if I spent thousands of words (and lots of XP) to create the portal would I be certain it would go to [i]my[/i] apartment. Until that point, Scribe of Worlds is best used for when you want to go someplace interesting, rather than some place specific. [/QUOTE]
