Gotham City setting, homebrew D20, suggestions


Homebrew and House Rules


I'm working on a homebrew Bat Family game, set in "Gotham City," using various house rules and adaptions (I've previously run a very successful 1920s mafia game using a similar pathfinder subset with custom rules).

I'm running into an issue where there SEVERAL "definitive" sources for Gotham City. I found a map put out by DC comics around the time of the "No Man's Land" story line. I found another map, using the same geography, purporting to be based on the Christian Bale Dark Knight movies. Both have completely different names for the same features. I also have DC Heroes 3rd Edition, which includes names of neighborhoods not featured in either of those maps.

For Batman fans out there, how much would it affect your enjoyment of the game if your GM sprung some names on you that didn't fit what you knew about Gotham City? And do you have some suggestions of additional Gotham resources that might make the game more enjoyable?

Go for the Worldscape idea from the Pathfinder comics. It isn't THE Gotham City, it's a patchwork of EVERY Gotham City. Perhaps even have multiple incarnations of the villains, possibly because I just think a gang war of the various Jokers would be awesome. World's deadliest prank war.
