Not everyone can be a part of the action all the time, and sometimes it just isn't any fun to play in a game where you have to sit around and wait for the brainiac character to roll dice until he gets the number of success he needs to be able to accomplish the thing he wants. And sometimes there are things that we want our characters to do that is simply going to take time; crafting rolls, musical composing rolls, patrolling territory, helping out elders with chores, etc. That is where downtime actions come into play. This is the place for doing those kinds of things.
Downtime actions will work the following way. Each month, you will reply to your downtime action thread with the downtime actions that you wish to take. Each character will have a maximum of 6 Downtime Actions per month. Each character with the Kinfolk background will have access to 1 additional action per dot in the background. However, these additional Downtime Actions must be something that kinfolk are capable of accomplishing. (They aren't going into the Umbra to talk to a spirit for you. Not no way, not no how.)
Lastly, if your action requires that dice rolls be made, the staff will make them for you, and will post the results in this thread. These threads should (assuming the staff have managed to figure this out) be private so that others cannot see what you're doing. This is your secret place to work on doing things to surprise others, dedicate time to personal plots, etc.
Examples of Downtime Actions:
<insert PC here> is going to go and ask to help out <insert NPC here> with their Sept duties.
<insert PC here> is going to look into <insert current issue/person/thing> by <tell us how you're going it (online research, going to look at it, checking out the umbra, asking the NPCs, using allies, using contacts, etc.>
<insert PC here> is going to be making a <insert what you're crafting here>
