The Sigil System 1.4 is now available for download!
The major addition to 1.4 is the Downtime rules, which you can find starting on page 37.
Downtime is that space in-between adventures where you can slow down, take a breather, and get to work on some things you’ve had in mind. It’s also a grand way to advance time in the game, and also to park one character for a bit, while you take another one out for an adventure.
Downtime comes in 3 parts: Work, Live, and Play.
Work is self-explanatory in that you need to be making some money so you can spend it in the rest of Downtime. Each type of job in Downtime has some Skills associated with it, and you need to beat a Skill Check to get into the job, so your current Skill Levels will in part determine what sort of job you can get. You can, of course, choose not to have a job and then you’ll have extra time to spend doing what you want (but it does come at a cost though).
Live is where you choose your level of lifestyle for Downtime. How comfortable do you want to live versus how much can you afford. Your chosen level of lifestyle will affect the flavour of all the activities you choose to do during Downtime, and can be a benefit or hindrance in many of them.
Speaking of activities, Play is where you get to choose what you want to do for the Downtime. You can go out and socialise, start a crafting project, do some research, train your skills, rest and recuperate and many more.
Everything you do during downtime will have some sort of reward, be it money, information, or Skill Levels. So your character won’t just be sitting idle when away from an adventure.
