Start at a location considered a move?

[delslow]

There are certain locations that have an effect that triggers when you move to them. If you are setting up to begin a scenario and you choose to start in one of those locations, does the effect trigger?

Thanks!

Your initial location choice happens under "Place Token Cards":

Rulebook wrote:

Each player chooses a location and puts her character’s token card near it.

So your initial choice isn't called moving in the rulebook.

Also, "Move" is defined in the rules under "Your Turn":

Rulebook wrote:

Move: You may move your token card to another location. Moving triggers any effects that happen when you enter or leave a location. (If you do not move, your character is not considered to have entered or left a location.)

So your initial choice, which happens outside of "Your Turn", doesn't meet the definition of moving.

So no, the effect doesn't trigger.
