We spend a great deal of our time in downtime and planning. The
players love hanging out and exploring the Sixth World, discovering
the differences between it and the real world so they can get a better
handle on the background and history of the game. I am blessed with
fab players who only run to make enough money to keep partying and
living it up in general.
