-Opportunities will exist for players to travel to other places. These trips will be available for a maximum of five players at any one time, and each player will be able to attend a maximum of one of these per session. These limits will be enforced by an IC mechanism, but OC these limits will not be pro-actively circumventable by player action. Please make sure you have a note of what knacks you have before embarking on a trip elsewhere, and make sure to notify the GM running the trip of any special items or cool powers you are bringing along.+Opportunities will exist for players to travel to other places.

 Initially, there will be two in-setting weeks of downtime between each session (this may be change as the events of the game proceed). During each downtime, you can submit a description of a single coherent goal your character is trying to achieve using their knacks, a description of how they'​re going about it, and information about any assets or factors that you feel should contribute to it. How successful your character is will depend on the scale of what they'​re trying to achieve, and how useful their knacks and assets are. You will receive a write-up of what happens to your character prior to the next session. Initially, there will be two in-setting weeks of downtime between each session (this may be change as the events of the game proceed).
