== Overview ==
An interval is the downtime between seasons. It includes leveling up. It also includes a variety of possible activities for PCs to pursue individually, in pairs, in small groups, etc.
During an interval session, we may shift to [[Café Style]] play.
== Resolving Interval Activities ==
We resolve interval activities in broad ways. For example, we don't break a week down into every day, nor break a day down into morning/afternoon/evening.
You can expect at least 11 weeks of interval. In the first 10 weeks, you're required to spend 5 days per week on leveling up. That leaves 2 days for wheels, for which you receive 2d20 each week. A wheel may involve a roll or you may just need to spend the d20. Sometimes the DC may be trivially low (e.g., 5), just to see if you roll a natural 1 or a natural 20. (It's fun to let the dice tell the story.)
We also take some inspiration from "Downtime Revisited" in ''Xanathar's'' (p. 123+), which includes Carousing, Buying or Crafting an Item (which involves spending [[Essence Points]]), Gambling, Pit Fighting, Relaxation, Religious Service, Research, Scribing a Spell Scroll. (Training is already available via [[Wheels]].) We adapt Crime to be a Side Op. (As written, Crime is incompatible with being a R3M operative.) We sometimes use the complications tables.
== Creativity is Encouraged ==
Wheels can be very ambitious, across a wide variety of professional and personal goals. For example, you could invent a new product, start a business to sell it, and build that into a corporation (or guild). As another example, you could fall in love, have children, and raise them. As another example, you could run for successive public offices, serving as a mayor, then senator, then governor, then president.
''Xanathar's'' rules and tables are only a starting point. Creativity is more important than simulation (Rule of Cool). For example, R3M can fund all kinds of things, like startup funds for a business. R3M and its allies can open doors, like an internship in the US Senate.
== Ending the Interval ==
After 10 weeks, the DM will roll 1d4 at the end of each week. The target is 1 and increases by 1 each week. If the roll is at or under the target, the downtime ends and the new season starts.
