MOD ANNOUNCEMENT: DOWNTOWN UNLOCKS

[inthenightmods]

Howdy, players! Some new locations have been made available in Downtown Beacon!

• The Landmark's elevator is now available for use! Thanks, Superman! There were 25 torches just chillin' in the elevator shaft, but those have been safely returned to the bonfire. Enjoy your +25 health boost, Beacon bits.


• The Delft has been unlocked! You can find the full description on the setting page, but some highlights: Riku, Vanitas, Bruce, Peter, and Jason discovered a set of projectors connected to those weird electrical boxes y'all keep finding around town, and the projectors aren't currently operational. They also found a whole library of movies to watch!


• The courthouse is... still pretty locked! Not for lack of trying, but perhaps some fighty-types will want to take a stab at dealing with those pesky spirits. The courthouse will need to be explored further before it's fully unlocked, but the setting page has been updated with Rosalind and Javert's findings.


• Duster and Tadashi unlocked the Fallout Shelter! You can find the full description on the setting page, but some highlights: constant forest spirit rave time, and a DJ playing songs off of the Songbird app who will totally sell you drugs. Specifically, weed, cigarettes, cocaine, MDMA, and LSD if you're willing to pay... in bling! This forest spirit wants shiny stuff to wear, so hook them up and they'll hook you up right back! (As a note, players are welcome to handwave these trades or play them out on their own!)

So, hooray, you've at least partially explored all of the buildings downtown! Nice work!

Here's a quick list of the stuff that still needs checking out/solving!

• The lower level of the shopping center (with the outdoor rec shop and tech shop) is flooded! The tech shop is locked up, and the outdoor rec store is open, buuuuut the entrance is blocked by a bunch of crocodilian forest spirits that don't seem very friendly.


• The leggy forest spirits in the courthouse will need to be dealt with in some fashion before the courthouse can open up!


• Sometimes, the smaller details on the setting page can be worth exploring further! If characters ever miss stuff in a location discovery, we sneak it onto the setting page just in case anyone notices... 👀 We'll never let you miss big important stuff, so these things are more like easter eggs and little hints. If a detail on the setting page ever catches your eye, it might just be worth checking out in an exploration!.

Please keep in mind that downtown explorations are still limited to one per player, but we'll be lifting that at the end of the month! If you haven't had a chance to explore downtown yet and you'd like to, be sure to get a plan together before March 1!

That's all for now, players, and please let us know if you have any questions! If you'd like to plan a downtown exploration, you're welcome to us this post to do so! Here's a handy form to get you started:

<b>player:</b> (feel free to put your contact info here if you like!) <b>character(s):</b> <b>plans:</b> (which areas of downtown are you most interested in checking out? how would your character attempt to do that? what could your character contribute to an exploration team?) <b>notes:</b> (anything else worth mentioning, like permissions/opt-outs/hiatuses/etc.?)
