Nate Parker worth it? I’m not sure how to answer. Tracking the various economies is probably worth it, because a lot of them have to do with your crew status and that has major fictional implications.

One interesting thing I noticed is that the actual scores might not be as interesting as your downtime play. I totally guessed wrong about that! Blades Downtime feels like a more robust version of Mouse Guard’s Player Turn, probably because he provides a handy menu of stuff to do. And the system generates Entanglements, which are new crises to address on your own time.
