You'd want to do machinema right - use the Quake or Unreal engine so you could get a truly immersive experience from it. SL just can't deliver that kind of experience right now. Maybe in a couple of years, but the demands on the engine are too great for what SL uses if you wanted to do it truly right. And I agree, being from Metrowest Boston, I definitely have a bias towards some of the towns in New England and the Northeast for where I could imagine Shadow Falls being located. I've always thought of it as being just north of Lynn, just west of Framingham, or in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. No way would I use SL in its current incarnation to try and pull off The Rookie.
