Places, everyone… places!

(This is not intended to be a proposal, just a discussion idea)

I’m considering a Proposal to change the “Location” rule so as to add game effects to particular Locations.  I’m looking for ideas: I figure that Mumbai is an easy one: an Actor in Mumbai can only add a film to his Filmography if it is a musical (including Bollywood movies, regular adaptations of Broadway shows, Disney musicals and animated musicals, etc.)  Tokyo might be limited to only science fiction, fantasy, monster and horror films.  Machu Picchu might be linked somehow to Cult-woshipping (i.e., you can’t get in there or out of there unless you have Cult-worshipping as a gossip story, for example).  Any ideas?

I also like the idea of Locations having an effect, but I don’t know if I like it limiting my choices for the IMDB.  The filmography really doesn’t have any effect based on which movies you choose, just the roles.  I’d rather the effects of the location had some effect that actually madea difference in gameplay.

The problem is also defining a “horror” movie, or a “musical”

defining genres shouldn’t be too difficult—the IMDB database has a “genre” field

I like the idea of limiting movement based on conditions…but if getting to a location is limited, perhaps there is a reason why you’d want to go there?  Like…Machu Picchu: May only go there if you are subject to Cult Worshiping, any Actor at this Location cannot be subject to jealousy

Something along those lines.
