[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8427717, member: 6801228"] I would assume the faction controls the other side. Portals are doors. It is very rare that you control access out of a doorway, but not into a doorway Permament, known portals would be easy to find in the same way that the Hershey Chocolate Factory is easy to find. People know where it is and can give you directions. I imagine Sigil would have a tourist pamphlet that includes a list of the best-known portals alongside things like the various headquarters for different organizations. I also would note that Sigil has zero RAW materials. Everything has to be imported in, and then either maintained or replenished. So, trade between Sigil and a Prime would have to involve someone else providing the RAW materials to Sigil, then the item being made, then the shipment to the Prime. And I don't see a compelling reason why that less step is any different if the seller is not in Sigil itself. Um... yes? They absolutely would begin shifting everything they could to go through that portal. The land on either side would be taken over by the Governments, and it would alter the flow of goods immensely. Especially if the portal was big enough to drive a truck through. It wouldn't be a screeching halt of the current system, but the literal BILLIONS it would save would alter the entire structure of shipping between America and China. Sure, you can handwave it. I find that to be a poor method though. Much more robust to work it out. Also, to be pendantic. Spaceships are totally real. Portals maybe not, but Spaceships, totally. I find myself a bit confused. Other than Modrons (we have them in the MM and the Autognome seems like it could be refitted), the Tieflings (have them), Genasi (have them) and Aasimar (have them) what Planescape races are you referring to? I'm not really familiar with any. [/QUOTE]
