Downtimes are Just Times When You're Down
This game is a GM-less, roleplaying-focused game designed to be (though not required to be) run between sessions of other games, with the party retiring to a community home base. This game is about how these characters contribute to their home communities; whether they leave it better or worse, and how the community reacts to their presence. Regardless of your class or playbook in the story you play this game around,  there are non-traditional playbooks to explore different aspects of your character when they're off the clock.
