..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 ?

Hmm...interesting. I think there should be another US city. Some places that popped into mind

Birmingham or Mobile, AL. Nashville or Memphis, TN. Bakersfield or Los Angelos, CA. Biloxi, MS. Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville or Pensacola, FL.

OK, now I'm thinking out loud...I'll shut up. LOL

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing Bahia... For obvious reasons but that's just me. I do like Cairo as a location as well. I'm against having another US city especially considering what it would do to travel turns, however if it must be a US city I'd go with either Honolulu because it wasn't part of the US back in the 1920's-1940's and it has a culture significantly different from New York, or I'd go with Chicago due to it's contributions to noir genre.

:) I'll repeat my parochial pref. from another thread for Melbourne, otherwise genre wise I think, like Trelane and others, Cairo would be great, or Genre-wise probably Paris, as perhaps the other predominant city of the era. :)

From the U.S., I'd vote for Chicago. But I'd really like to see something like Rio or Cairo as others have suggested. An Italian city like Venice would also be interesting.

I don't see why Sydney or Melbourne don't fit into the genre. There's always been a seedy side... and they were all criminals... ;)

That could work, motives including, breaking tapus and utu!

I would favor a small-sized city with an awkward name like Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland.

The names that would occur there would be awesome as every son adopts the first name of his father as his last name. This is usually passed on form generation to generation so you could have a following list of successors in a family tree...

Thordur Einarsson
Einar Thordursson
Thordur Einarsson

etc.

Also small-sized cities would make motives like forgetting birthdays two times in a row alot more believeable :)

One of the problems with adding in new cities (and the reason I like the alternative that Arabesque suggested above) is the mechanics involved in adding these new territories.

2 new cities can be added and only need to change the number of cities the existing factions are in.

4 new cities and need 6 new factions with 6 new skills to teach.

Plus on top of this hunting would now expand to 12 hunts open at once rather than the current 6. That creates an entirely new dynamic for hunting.
