I hated that day. I almost lost a wing and half my tail. It took a week for them to finish materializing. I remember once that I tried using a teleportation circle turns out I was a “little” TOO BIG.

This is just a given fact, and it drives some GMs madly insane. If you’re one of those GMs, then check out the post over at Dungeon Mastering. [...] [...] The Gates of Adventure!

GMs can get additional teleport advice by watching Star Trek (especially the 60s version) and substituting the words transporter problem for teleport fumble.

That, in itself, could be an interesting world quirk. Armies amassing right in the shadow of these linked cities; untamed and all but forgotten wildernesses at your doorstep.
