[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8428235, member: 23751"] That's just it. You're just making up that a portal to St. Petersburg exists, when far more likely the closest you will be able to get is South Africa and then you have to walk or find another way. An airplane from The U.S. to Russia would be faster. Doesn't mean that it is, either. But yeah, if you can just whip up a portal to close to your destination(unlike Sigil), then portals are probably better, assuming the cost to activate the portal isn't prohibitive. You do realize that prime material plane is huge, right? So you take a portal from Sigil to Mazteca. Then you're stuck. Or maybe the portal is to Waterdeep, but you're trying to get to the planet H'Catha. And that's if you even know the portal exists AND is still there and hasn't wandered off. You've never heard of explorers? Or colonists? And D&D isn't the real world. The mountains of gems and gold that they brought with them? Unique skills? Whatever. Doesn't really matter. This is a game of the imagination. Use yours and you can come up with lots of ideas. That would be stupid. They're going down to the planet and at the same time they will be sending out scout ships to see what else is around. [/QUOTE]
