The beach is where EVERYTHING happens

Here's another Ruvatello release for you all! This map is the southwest corner of the resort. We've got a great collaboration for this one, plus some stellar art, music, and maps. Let's dive in!

NOTE: Ruvatello 02 (yesterday's release) was briefly titled "Glorious Mornings." That was just a typo. I promise you this is a completely different post from what we released yesterday. My apologies for the confusion!

Borough Guide

This guide introduces you to the big rivalry at Ruvatello, a storied feud between guests who stay on the west shore and those who stay on the east. This can either be a little set dressing for your adventure or the central plot hook. Next, we explore some crucial social hotspots: the beach and Bistro Mirello. Finally, a brief aside about Devotee Falls and the myth surrounding it that may or may not have some truth in reality.

Maps

Map 03 features some of the glorious villas astride the beach. A sailboat is available for any guests, a tiki bar provides drinks free of charge, and Bistro Mirello offers incredible views of the lake and the waterfall. For every Ruvatello map, we have the following variants: Sunset, Night Lights, Winter, Winter With No Ice, Bioluminescent, Fae, and Festival.

We have two buildings outfitted with interiors for this release! The first is Bistro Mirello, the premier "casual" café at the resort. Next, we have a villa that can act as a sort of "standard" room for a guest. These interior maps are offered with three different lighting variants, and they're only available to Chief Courier tier patrons.

Music

Lago di Mirello is more chill resort music, the kind of relaxing faux-Latin tune you'd listen to on the beach while sipping a tropical cocktail. This one is another good "catch-all" to throw on as your players explore the resort. We also offer a Night variant that's a bit stripped down and quieter.
