As our characters finish an arc we head back to our "home base" in the new west to recover and hear rumors. Most recently a rumor of one of our members secret past has lead us to england but before that we were in canada, madhaven, dino swamp, atlantis, new west, and even sailing on the ocean blue. in our treks across the US we open books as we step on to their respective soil and england will be our first transcontinental adventure but I think what makes it great is having about 5-10 sessions(for us anyway) there and deciding if we like it or not and then heading out. This process helps us weed out unwanted books (which I think Atlantis was the only one no one liked) and also know that we can always revisit any area we enjoyed to experience parts we missed.
As a member of this game, I can say that "it works."
