Re: John's stuff

In character for a long time I've been planning on building "The Road".
(Quite all of you groaners who've heard me ramble on before about this).

Basically a circle of otherworlds to other worlds (suprise) that we
can trade with...

Centralia-->Attalia-->World2-->World3-->Centralia

Since these are other world hops you could conceivably get more
than one spot on Jaern (just not sequentially). Basically Each spot
would be a 60' road and then into another portal.

----------------|-------------------|
Road on world3 /|\  Road on world4 /|\
                |                   |
             Portal              Portal

Just a matter of eeps and much trade negotians with various worlds
and their governments... but huge profit potential.
