Well, having players find one of those "sewer alligator" urban legends down
in the pipes could be interesting, but dealing with regular rats can be a
chore in itself. ;-)

For urban exploration, sewers and storm drains are actually a highly sought
after location in some people's minds. I've been told by all explorers I've
polled, including sewers and drains is REQUIRED.

Yeah, traditional RPGs differ in many ways from this project.

Being able to pry stuck doors could be handy, as well as sliding panels
aside to climb on top of or underneath an elevator car. But breaking and
entering is generally frowned upon in this hobby. I'm hoping to make it
somewhat "edutaining" by interweaving certain ethical considerations into
gameplay. Destruction of property (smashing windows, popping doors, etc..)
is frowned upon. Plus, it can be more of a challenge trying to find ways to
enter a building without just smashing a window. ;-)
