Livingstone Found | Factory: Correspondent Token

Correspondent Token — an official badge for the newspaper distributor from the world of the game Livingstone Found. As a souvenir, it is intended for players and spectators who have contributed to the history of the continent.

As the scope of the world’s history expands, a player may start to lose the significance of their own contribution. The token allows them to make their involvement tangible—anyone who contributed to the community’s creative process can order one.

It is worn on a ball chain.
