        The basic problems with nomadic systems are two fold:
        
        1) Content generation: You have to build a far larger world so
        that you can leave most of it empty/fallow to move back into
        later.
        
        2) You are deliberately wasting the basic resource that players
        have and invest on and in your game: Knowledge of the game.
        Everybody wants to be an expert. Nomadic systems encourage
        games/worlds which conspire against the player to ensure
        that nobody is actually an expert (let along competent?). Players
        won't like this. This is not to say that they'll like the loss of
        repeatability any better as its the the same thing rephrased.
        
        There's a wonderful SF short story, whose name and author fail me at
        the moment, which deals with the trials of a linguist visiting a new
        planet and trying to get a handle on the language used there. To
        his dismay he finally discovers that there is no actual language
        used by the people of the planet, not in any singular or reasonably
        constant sense. Instead the language it entirely contextual both
        per the current physical environment and the recent histories of
        those talking. Every individual constantly creates his own ad hoc
        language, and of course, is somehow understood by everyone else
        doing the same thing. Evolution run wild.
        
        Nomadism tends to that model. This doesn't mean that it can't be
        saved and used, but there are costs along the way.
        
        Odd thoughts:
        
        If you go the route of mechanically enforcing the nomadic
        wandering you bugger the players. Don't move and you get left
        behind as the world moves on (this can be positioned as an
        advantage, but I doubt it will be viewed as one by players). This
        rapidly results in your players being segregated by both time and
        space, which really means that you've had no other effect than
        forcefully spreading your players out and making it even more
        difficult for them to get together. Additionally you've just
        positioned the players as being the unwilling and yet forced
        effect of the world motion. You can dress it up as to their
        having control and influence, but its a sham. The world
        containing what they care about abd center on moves and
        leaves them behind and there's nothing they can do about it.
        
        Players already have enough of a problem with getting together and
        cooperating without us deliberately making it more difficult.
        
        Another approach is to try and make players "want" to move.
        
        "If you stay here Tiamat will come sit on you!"
        
        Observation suggests that players will reactively tend instead to
        stay exactly where they and endlessly die trying to not move, and
        then having satisfied their RDA of suicide, then move on to
        another game. Intransigent little buggers.
        
        "Your game resources, like targets and economy particles are
        nomadic. If you don't follow them you'll have to go further and
        further to find them. Its easier to follow."
        
        This makes the rate of camp motion almost sedate. It has to be so
        that it is cheaper to move camp than suffer the commute time to
        the valued resources. Sedate motion minimises the problem of
        players being left behind by making it just a lightly longer walk
        in any given case (and the trail can be simply followed).
        
        In essence a guided tourist ride where you amble along and the
        sites and interests of the world will come up to you while you sit
        in your Disney maglev train..
        
        The art of getting lost.
        
        Players have an alarming tendency to want to sit and watch their
        butts spread. Or to be able to go away and come back and find
        everything just as they left it. Its part of predictability and
        the demand that the game not be preceived to be stealing from
        them. This is tightly related to prior discussions on object
        decay except that instead of talking about direct object removal
        we're also talking about physically realised knowledge decay --
        they are no longer able to assume much about a location once they
        leave it.
        
        Hurm. Which is kinda fun really.
        
        <ponder>
        
        "Cities in Flight" and the spindizzy drive.
        
        You've got canned cities which you can mock up however you wish, and
        you then move the cities about periodically plugging them into
        interesting worlds as appropriate. Nomadism with all the benefits
        of a barcalounger. Those who get left behind either getting eaten
        by the suddenly rapacious locals (permadeath in the DB sense), or are
        rescued by another visiting city.
        
        Cute. There are all sorts of interesting mechanics you could plug
        in under there.
