A short free essay on Downtime in Blades in the Dark games - it's clear, well thought out, and written from a place of genuine enthusiasm for these games. I especially appreciated the consideration of themes relating to critical perspectives on power. 5/5 stars - outstanding.

Having played in a campaign of Band of Blades (a Forged in the Dark game) where our GM and players were quite inconsistent in how we approached Downtime segments, it was oddly reassuring to read about other groups running into similar moments of excessive focus on mechanics, or just not having enough inspiration for a notable roleplay segment.
