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.

Good call!
I play these games to be entertained... I don't want to see games about rape, sodomy and drug addiction... I can get all that at home.

It may be worth pointing out that you can download open street map material as PDFs or in other formats. Pick an unfamiliar area or change the names with an editor and you have a whole world full of realistic maps. Of course, most of the maps are modern, but there are many places where things haven't changed a great deal, or where a few minutes excising the modern bits can produce something rather older.
