Downtime - WIP
Note this is an opt-in feature, if you just want to adventure you don't have to worry about downtime
General
Downtime is the time between any adventures you embark on, we can run a game any day of the week just need to organise before hand, otherwise a preset day each week can be run. 1 day of downtime is equal to 1 day of real time, for example if crafting a potion takes 5 days you will have to wait 5 days in our world before your character can use it. Depending on your lifestyle and work between adventures you may gain or lose money from living expenses, passive incomes, gambling, etc.
Eg. William the Wizard lives a modest life -1gp/day but inbetween adventuring and delving ruins he works as a scribe for 3gp/day, this nets him an extra 2gp per day so if he takes time off work to on this own projects or other downtime activities his lifestyle isn't disruppted.
