[quote=@mickilennial] I find it interesting you're doing this one size fits all/loosey goosey approach. I tend to prefer some rigidity, but maybe its time to try something radically different. This is the only thing my brain is having trouble coming to terms with (not to mention NYC is not that far from Jersey City which isn't far from when Gotham is generally placed). [/quote] Partly due to my inexperience as a GM and partly due to my trust of everyone I've roleplayed with previously! I'm confident we can bring all of our concepts together into a cohesive world within this sandbox. In regards to the location question, I must confess I'm actually Scottish and didn't realise how close Gotham and Hell's Kitchen would be geographically when I gave that example :lol My logic behind this is that previously I've found it difficult to find a cohesive reason for my characters to show up in other people's stories for a collab without some shoe-horning or a post about them gearing up and then travelling, which for me felt like filler whenever I wrote it. When I think of a lot of stories within comics you have characters appearing for an issue then leaving the next after serving their purpose in the greater arc of the story. I'm hoping that offering a more 'squashed' version of the world and sort of hand-waving the need for these 'travel posts' it will encourage more interaction between players and more overlap in the greater story we're all telling. On a map everything would be where you would expect it to be, I'm not proposing every city is in one area. Part of me wanted to offer the same with time frames, so one person could write a story taking place on halloween and another christmas without it affecting the chronology of everyone elses posts, but I'm worried this might make things too disjointed to follow at times. If people would rather an alternative when it comes to the distance management I'm open to going back to a more traditional way of building the world. I may have not explained my thought process behind this clearly enough when I wrote that part!
