Mark Rand Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'm working on a version of Coastal City, which originally appeared in the 3E book Atlas Unleashed. It will be in Ventura County, straddling the Santa Clara River and be based on DC's Coast City. Wayne Air Force Base is replace by Edwards Air Force Base. The Coastal Metro Power Company is replaced by Pacific Gas and Electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjack Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 DC’s Coast City is based on San Diego, so maps and and tourist information should be easy to find backround material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted January 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) I have the Coast City map and the information on the city's neighborhoods from the Mayfair Games Atlas of the DC Universe. According to my research, Coastal City is close to the Santa Ynez Mountains. The nearby NASA telemetry station is in those mountains. Edited January 19, 2022 by Mark Rand I had to correct errors.

Mark Rand Posted January 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Like San Diego, Coastal City is home to an oceanic institute that's tied to a university. In this case, it's the Coastal City Institute of Technology. Also like San Diego, Coastal City has professional sports teams. In this case, a baseball team, a football team, and a basketball team.

Mark Rand Posted March 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Still thinking about Coastal City. It's a harbor city, with a bay, that could be on any coast, including the Great Lakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCUBA Hero Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Could this be the setting for the proposed ready-to-play book in the 5E Rennaissance thread? (He asked hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He asked hopefully) It was in the 3E book Atlas Unleashed. I'm hoping someone might have fleshed it out from the description given. We were given a swank hotel, a fine art museum, a power company, an overcrowded freeway system, a harbor, a bay, a factory-lined channel (which may lead from the harbor to the bay), an air force base outside of town, and a nearby NASA telemetry station.

SCUBA Hero Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 I *think* I have Atlas Unleashed. (Working [physically] away from home and my game bookshelf at the moment.) I'll check it out next time I'm home. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted March 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I'm thinking of placing Coastal City in New York State on Lake Ontario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted August 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Coastal City is in New England on or near Long Island Sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted August 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 One thing I had forgotten about Coastal City, which is from a 3E module, is that it's meant to be a generic coastal city, like Metropolis, Gotham City, or Ivy Town (where the second Atom lived).
