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.

Help me name a Superhero City!

Quote from: Soylent Green;733113Voted Starsfall on the basis that I'm tired of made up cities that contain the word "City" (or "Ville" or "Burg" ) when real world cities usually don't. It's not Boston City or Chicagoville.

As a proud resident of the City of Iowa City for the better part of a decade, I can attest that some municipalities are proud enough of their 'city' to use it not once, but twice.

Oh, and of course people usually say 'New York City'.  I remember a commercial for Pace picante sauce all about that.
When I say objectively, I mean \'subjectively\'.  When I say literally, I mean \'figuratively\'.

I'm not saying there real places with City or ville, burg etc in their name, I'm saying that in they are over-represented in fictional settings.
