The Limehouse Lurker: Side Character Rewards

Added 2023-09-02 18:27:10 +0000 UTC

We've been looking forward to sharing this for a while!

This week's release introduces a new mechanic to The Between. This player-facing handout can be introduced after players have resolved The Limehouse Lurker and claimed one or more of its Side Characters as a Reward.

Inspired by the MOSAIC Strict design principle by Michael Prescott, these checklists can be used when players seek out the respective Side Character unlocked as a Reward for resolving a mystery. Players mark a box and ask the Keeper to frame an appropriate scene, then take turns answering the Paint the Scene question. Each checklist comes with a special Night phase that can only be marked after three other boxes for that Side Character have been marked.

It was written by Jason Cordova, with layout by Harald Eckmüller. The art used with this post is one of the new, colorized pages for the upcoming crowdfunded edition of The Between by Amanda Lee Franck.

While an entirely optional expansion on the mechanics, we intend to include these checklists for all Side Characters that can be claimed as Rewards across our games! Stay tuned for more, as always.

Is there a particular Threat or Mystery you'd like to see a Side Character sheet for? An idea for an entirely new type of checklist to shake up the game? Let us know in our Discord!

As always, thank you all for your continued patronage! We'll catch you next week with another release, and perhaps more news of upcoming releases...

Until next time.
