..how about a 5th city planned for 2007...the players could vote
on a list in 2006...staying with the genre...circa early 20th century
i would propose 5 cities ( not listed in order of preference )...
casablanca (where the bar of course would have to be "Rick's"...or
constantinople ( with the Orient Exspress office in the city )...i
think montevideo ( with the Graf Spree in the harbor as a site )...
and then there is always Cairo ( with the British Officer's Club as
a bar site ) and lastly as a novelty idea....Lhasa, the high city of Tibet
( where the Triad could have a dojo )....any other ideas on this subject ?

New cities have been proposed/requested before with both Cairo and Casablanca being popular choices.


One wrinkle to think about is that new cities need to balance with the existing "demographics" of the game.

>>3 factions per city
>>each faction in two cities

So adding in a single city is not likely to happen. Leaving the existing census in place would require more than is practical to add (4 more cities with 6 more factions) and more than is likely needed.

A more likely scenario would be to add 2 new cites and expand each faction to 3 cities. No new factions (or the skills that go with them) but it does add in new places to track down those nefarious double birthday gift forgetters.

To Nephi:
Constantinople? Excuse me but what heck you are talking about? There is no city called that name in the world. It is Istanbul, since 1453. Ok? You either live in the middle age or do this on purpose.

*sings as she dances through the hallways*

"No you can't go back to Constantinople. Been a long time gone, Constantinople. Why did Constantinople get the works? That's no body's business but the Turks."

*sways and slithers along the stair banister*

"Even old New York, was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it I can't say."

*leans over the rail and lowers her head and eyebrows with a growl in her voice*

"People just liked it better that way!"

*laughs and slides down to the landing*

I've been to Istanbul, and it's absolutely gorgeous. Yes, the name of Constantinople no longer applies to the modern city, but there are still places where the atmosphere of history and time gone by still exists. I think Istanbul would be a fabulous addition to Sleuth

As for other cities, how about: Honolulu, Sydney, Havana, Athens, or Madrid

Why not Winnipeg? Or maybe Albany.

if it's winnipeg, aka winterpeg, the snow bear probably should come equipped with mosquito repellent kit:

+ 2 smart
+ 2 tough
-6 charm (that stuff smells like a baked diaper full of skunk livers and spent lysol cans)

*is holding out for Hong Kong, but digs Scarlet's ideas, esp. Havana! Very cool.
