This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Real-world cities and gaming

I'm reasonably sure that the adventure packaged in the Cthulhu d20 book is directly based on the Stadium Theatre in Woonsocket (the histories just match up waaay too closely):

Quote from: DestroyYouAlot;516620Heh - that's the other thing.  I live in New England.  It would take a lot of heavy lifting to set traditional CoC anywhere BUT where I live.  ;)



So true, White Wolf didn't use Boston as MtAw's setting for no reason. ;)
Though the Pacific Northwest (my home area) serves just as well if you go with the Native American angle.

I prefer to pull a Gotham.  

Take a city you know, change the names, and fictionalize the hell out of it, exaggerating where you like to bring out whatever themes you want out of your game.  

That way, you have a base to work from, but no one can get all up in your face about it not being accurate or whatever.
