And I'm only 50% through the game, so the events transpiring in the PS2 game will have no bearing on our game.  I just like using the names of the places to further separate our world from the characters' world.

I should also mention the San Andreas storyline takes place in the early 90's during the heyday of gangbangers, crack dealers, and general impropriety in/around the Los (Angeles) Santos Police Department.

I'm mostly looking for setting information, rather than story background.  Is this pretty much Los Angeles with another name, or is the geography significantly different?  If not, is there a rough map of the city I can find somewhere?  Other city info?

Well...

It's basically LA with some different names.

Thanks, ADS, that should help.  So, the city is actually an island, huh?  I suppose that makes a good way to keep things contained.

Wha - oh, dammit.  I didn't even catch that.  No, it's set up like normal LA.  Just with different names.  Not an island.  Smile

I think it's better to ignore the map from the game and just have it be LA with different names. The GTA games have some oddities that make it difficult, and they're usually too small to do a lot with.

Wish List:
1. Doom!
2. A guest appearance of someone representing Gameriel's supers network.

Doom cares not for your wishes!
