Hi,
I have a few questions about downtime and freeplay activities.
1) How do you decide if a downtime activity have a consequence. For example, if somebody uses a downtime activity to lower heat by beating up someone. Should a 4-5 roll also decide if the player get wounded ? Or if the guy will plot revenge ?
2) Can freeplay actions have mechanical consequences ? For example, if you go talk to somebody and try to sway him into helping you, can it become a contact ? Or should it be considered as a long-term project ? And therefore, how do you draw the line between freeplay and long-term project ?
Thank you for your help !
