i'd agree with that. i've seen lrp games that have taken place over a series
of locations, but they tend to be very linear and plotted as a result.

depends on what scale you're looking at. i don't see why a one-off game
played in en evening or afternoon can't take place in one location. if
you're talking about a series of games over time, just run them in different
locations each time.
