THE PLANNER
The planner is an
invaluable tool: with it you can
schedule important events like dentist appointments and battles to the death
for territory. It consists of a 7x7 grid. There are seven columns for each day
of the week and seven rows for each time “block”. A block is basically three
hours real time. When an NPC asks you if you want to chill during the afternoon
on Wednesday, that means you should reserve block 3 on that day. Characters can
only access blocks 1-5 initially.
EVENTS
An
event is anything you are doing during a particular time block, if it isn’t blank
(blank spaces are referred to as “downtime”). Events can be divided into two
groups based on content: missions and activities. A mission is when you are
doing something to advance your position in the game, whereas an activity is
optional and usually not much more than hanging out with people. Simply put,
missions are the ones where you know you’ll be fighting someone. If a fight
breaks out during an activity, it is called a random encounter. Both missions
and activities earn you XP.
