In reply to Colin McLaughlin. Not a bad comparison!

In reply to Alex Mitchell. Huh. I had never heard of that game and setting. That sounds pretty fun! It reminds me of Worldrunner meets Magic: the Gathering :)

As a fan of WotC’s Everway RPG from the long ago, I’ve always wanted to play up this aspect of Planescape’s Sigil! Nice work here.

In reply to Jesse.

Calling this a system is too grandiose, but thanks 🙂

To me, everything you outline is part of the key, rather than a separate factor. Nothing wrong with multiple-stage authentication, after all.

I started a book 111 spell-Key adventures, but eventually gave up on the project. Your system is a bit more elegant than mine was. One of the things I had in my book was that sometimes the spell-key was only a part of what would open the gate to another dimension. Some factors included – but were not limited to: having someone with appropriate alignment, a ceremony, having defeated a specific monster and so on.
