What it is about
Characters may enter or exit dungeons through magical gates and portals, and travel from one location to another within them by the same. This supplement has 100 different gates and portals for characters to find, which could be found in the dungeon or in other places. Some will be easily recognisable for what they are whilst others it won't be immediately obvious that someone was been transported and not killed, although all such gates should have the appropriate kind of magic detectable.

Here are some sample results:
Coloured bricks have been inset into the floor, making a rectangular maze with a clear centre. If the maze is travelled like it was a true maze, not stepping over the walls, and the correct path is followed, once the walker reaches the centre they will be transported away.
Crude stone trilithon that bears many scars and marks. Most of the time, nothing happens, but at certain times of the year, such as the solstices, the gap between the stones turns into a foggy grey cloud and stepping through it leads to another location.
Dark stone has been formed into a roughly oval shape standing vertically. What look like flames wreathe the stone and within the oval is a flaming ring looking not dissimilar to an eye. The flames don't burn, though, and the opening is a gate.
Dust is falling down from above in a never-ending stream, though it's disappearing when it hits the ground. If someone walks under the dust, it will completely cover them, and once that happens, the person will be transported away, momentarily leaving a blank space in the dust of their size and shape.
Enormous clockwork construction of gears and wheels that when activated starts to unfold. Cogs and gears spin and different parts move, until finally a doorway is revealed in the construction. Using the doorway activates the gate, after which the mechanism resets.
One page is the front cover, one the front matter and one is ads.
