Downtime

What is Downtime?

Tenebrae as a game is split into uptime and downtime. The in-person sessions where characters come together for important events are referred to as uptime. For uptime, all of the characters have the opportunity to be in the same place and participate. The period between sessions is called downtime. While in downtime all the characters will go their separate ways to travel, build, pursue stories, plot and act against one another.

Over downtime periods we have an abstracted system which allows us to put some structure in place for players and the ST team. This avoids having each player provide a detailed night by night description of what their character is doing for the whole period - an impractical option for one player, let alone a whole player base!
