[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8133400, member: 6785785"] Oh we don’t argue about that kind of stuff at all. Our group long ago agreed to make our own canon for any pre-existing setting, using broad strokes for most of it, and picking and choosing what elements we want to include. Sure you could have. Just tell the guy “forget what you learned in that video game.” The PCs are inhabitants of the city, so they know their way around and no such map is needed. Now maybe the specific layout of buildings in a specific neighborhood, sure, they may not know that. But they know their way around just as anyone knows their way around their hometown. I don’t know....mistakes are gonna happen and that seems an easy one to correct, in the grand scheme. “Oops, guys the building is actually 800 by 300. My bad.” Problem solved. I mean if an error like that led to a PC death, I’d just go with the shorter length. Honestly, this just need not be an issue at all. [/QUOTE]
