Thank you for the vote GS! :)<br/><br/>I have to say you make a pretty good argument as well. Another advantage of a remote control is that -although we probably want to bring some spare batteries along- the battery power of a normal remote control last for ages. I blieve that inn Sliders there is a mechanism that makes the remote control recharge itself, which takes a random amount of time each time, so sometimes it creates the portal faster than other times. If you miss the portal, however, it takes decades before you can try again.<br/><br/>If we go with a remote control than we can use a similar feature where we can't tell before hand how long it takes for the remote control to recharge. OOC we can simply decide to stay in a certain world until we want something fresh our concluded our small adventure there.<br/><br/>Another idea I have -also based on Sliders- is a certain Nemisis. In Sliders there is this race that's different from humans and who possesses the same slider technology. They take over more and more alternative realities, and they harvest/ eat human body parts. We could add a similar nemisis to our story down the line so that we have an additional reason to travel and need to find a way to put a stop to these people.<br/><br/>How do you all feel about that?
