Here’s a question, I hope I can make it clear so bear with me:

Here’s a question, I hope I can make it clear so bear with me:

Session 1: Four players show up. We do a bit of free play then a heist. We decide to do Downtime next section as we have run out of time.

Session 2: Three players show up. We do the downtime then go to free play, then manage to do a heist and downtime.

Session 3: The player who missed last session shows up. We do a heist and go to downtime. How should I proceed with the player? Is he entitled to ALL the actions from the two Downtime periods he missed (Session 2) plus the one from this session?

How would you handle this?

In a couple of weeks, I’ll try Blades in the Dark.

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?

Don’t know if this is the right place to ask.

Don’t know if this is the right place to ask. I’ve been following with great interest John Harper’s actual play videos on Youtube. They seemingly stopped in June although they announced they would continue. Did the show came to an end or are there plans to continue? Keep up the good work, by the way, I love the game.
