In a couple of weeks, I’ll try Blades in the Dark. I have one question, though, about Stress. Since Stress is only relieved during Downtime, isn’t it a bit too easy for a player to gain Trauma Conditions since he may start using Stress for all kinds of actions and considering they can also earn Stress during Downtime (in actions other than Vice) and during Freeplay? What is everyone’s experiences on this?

It is intentionally a resource that’s tricky to juggle. But I don’t think you should be gaining Stress from Downtime actions…
But you can earn Stress during Free Play right?
Yes you can. If something in your story goes down that requires a resist roll, action roll, or an ability which needs to use stress; then inevitably you will use some stress.
Its seldom an issue usually though.
