:I am quite interested. If you limit the players who can enter the alternate

:elaborate, and attempt to convince me! :)

Does anyone still have any of my old posts on the topic? They figured
heavilly into my contributions to the "quest" threads. The concept is simple:
one can only enter a version of the subworld in the company of someone who
has access to that version, save the "pristine" state. Access is granted to
anyone present at the moment of a critical worldchange, or upon first
introduction to a changed version. Once access has been gained to a
nonpristine version, access to all other versions (save derived versions)
is impossible. Access rules are somewhat similar to the hypnogourds in
Xanthony's rather abysmal punfest series. Entry in company fixes you and your
companions to the most corrupted alternate. Bands with multiple corrupted
versions of a region may become seperated.
