I have a question about the RDP's and such that will be used as portals in • in
Castle World. Is it OK for, say, non magic-using characters to make use of
these?

Hey, eveything goes ;-)

Seriousness aside, though... you can really do anything you want with those.
It might be interesting to explain how a non-majick person got to know about
the RDPs, for example...
Or you could use different modes of transportation; like I said, anything you
do will be great, I'm sure...
I'm working on another type of majickal transportation myself now;

I am integrating the portal concept as a means of transportation over great
distances and "time" into my story...but the 10-20 RDPs I have are widely
used in my creations for more mundane secret doors and defensive
windows...heck I have 8 or more in my fortress now w/ no special mystical
qualities...

and also a
method of "mundane" transportation in the seas... I s'pose the mundane type
will be revealed in my so-called "chapter two" (although it *will* have a
name, I promise) but my majickal one will take a while yet... and they'll all
be on hold while I'm gone. :-(

well that gives you plenty of time to think about it = )
(and gives me plenty of time to build more )

Oh well. Meanwhile, Leah, go and use them RDPs for whatever/whomever you can
possibly imagine!! ;-)

Theye are actually very usefull pieces in my structure interiors...

Thanks for the information. I have a couple of groups that are likely to have
found and used such portals. Now I'll just have go do some building...

I have some bad guys who use their portal to invade and occupy a foreign land.

  right. the difference between a majical rdp and a mundane secret door
would simply be the context of the pieces and story around it.  shiri's rdp
in the chronicles of scar looks like a natural formation in a rock with a
tree growing out. i'm planning mephisto's rpd chamber, a room with a portal
centered witin it, and a majical looking frame around it. of course rdp's
could be made _many_ ways, and not neccessarlly using the 6x1x8 door frames.

  the two new belville sets (#5826 & #5825~ i love 'em!) have rdps big
enough to send dragons and footsoldiers through... he he he! i'll switch
doors and frames between the two creating a solid pale yellow unt and a
blue/ violet one.

  also, using turntables, a rdp could be entirely built, rather than a
pre-fab piece and used for either majical or mundane transitions (or both
~but be careful, wizards!)

  later ~ craig~
