[QUOTE="wolff96, post: 317345, member: 342"] I'm 24, by the way. ----------------------- One of the women in my gaming group, after I discussed this topic with her, gave me an answer to post here for her. She's 31 and married, for those who care. She's a biologist, which helps understand her opinion, IMO. This is a paraphrase of her answer: Yes. I'd go through the portal. If I could take anyone, I'd drag my husband along. I want to be a druid. Eventually, a high level druid. I love the earth here in this world, and it's dying. We're burying it in garbarge, polluting the air, and overrunning the surface of the planet with uncontrolled breeding. If I were in a world with druidic magic, I might be able to make a difference. Here, companies control power, money, and governmental authority, making any kind of actual change nearly impossible. Changes DO occur, but rarely. I fear the world will be destroyed before we learn to live with it. In a fantasy world, with the ability to live in harmony with nature, I could make a significant difference. Even the most rabidly natural druid can live in peace with the races around her, teaching them that they can get what they need without destroying the world around them.
