Again – Just wondering…
What happened to the “gather information” downtime job? I’ve been listening to the itmeJP “RollPlay” series, and they are always doing some gather information over their downtimes… but in the book from drivethrough there is no mention of a gather information downtime activity 🙁
has it just been rolled into the “aquire asset” or “long term project” activities?
It might require a project, but not always. It is also not “rolled into” another downtime activity. It is now a thing you do whenever, but quality and quantity of information depends – not just on the question, but the obstacles to finding the answer, and the commonality of the information sought.
Source: p.9 (notice it is categorized as part of Free Play, where the need for rolls is evaluated on a case-by-case basis), and 36-37 elaborates on the decision process
Perfect! Thank you!

Personally I like it better as an element of Free Play. There are so many other good things to spend your Downtime points on

and I appreciate the additional info that John added on how to handle said info gathering as a result. This being free play feels much more natural
