Hmmmm... game play hasn't actually started yet with our group but I'm one
of 2 maybe 3 GMs in the group. The third GM hasn't been confirmed, and
the second one *insists* on playing in Houston, TX (where we're all
from). I want to play in Seatle (I think Seatle is an interesting place
from a surrounding territory POV) so if we use the same PCs we'll prolly
say they travel between the 2 places b4 any runs and generally not make a
fuss about any of the arrangements except perhaps lodgings. I intend to
have the PCs travel as soon as they're ready... Denver seems to be a nice
place to go <eGMg>.

Additionly some of the PCs have done some travelling pregame. I have 4
chars and only one is native to Seatle. One is an otaku elf who left the
Haven and shortly met up with ... a minotaur rigger from Greece (go
figure ;) who was making his way around UCAS. Together they went on to
Seatle. My 4 char is an escaped science project from Aztlan and her
english is very bad (actually, so is the minotaur's). However, you
prolly weren't interested in pregame travelling.
