Not IMO. Our characters travel a LOT, and "home city" tends to loose
meaning pretty fast. We've liked / used most of the sourcebooks, but a
"genric travle guide", would be better for us. NAGRL fills some gaps,
but leaves many. Just because all the FASA stuf says "Seattle", doesn't
mean people play Seattle- similar features can be adapted for plots set
n any city. And having EVERYTHING happen in your town starts to stretch
thin pretty fast.
