Okay, the Shackled City Adventure Path, in my campaign, is about to conclude, and my players really want some significant downtime. [Note that the SCAP (partially) ends at the end of Thirteen Cages. The players are tired of the plot and want to try something new. And so am I.]
Anyway, one of the players sent me an e-mail and this is the groups plan...
The main option they have is that they can do their item creation on a inner plane that I call the Plane of Twilight. I'd already decided that time spent on that plane is divided in half. So, if they spend 3 years there in isolation then only a year and a half passes on the Material Plane.
Another option that came to mind is the spell known as Genesis, which I believe is a 9th-level spell. But I'm not sure how that spell functions, other than it creates pocket demiplane on the Ethereal. Can they create their own demiplane that allows them to be "out of the main timestream?"
Temporal magic is a big deal in my cosmology, so they should have the opportunity to have some time dilation. But how much is too much?
I need opinions and any suggestions you all might have.
Cheers!

So, now I have a bit of a dilemma. I need to find a way to give them the time they need without having to stall the current events of the campaign world. Plus, I don't want them to simply have 3 free years. They do deserve some significant downtime but 3 years is too much, IMO.Most players average between 165,000 and 173,000 exp and most are expecting to sink 10-18K into item creation; this will require a total of about 3 years to accomplish. Thus if you wish to preserve elements of your world timeline (since some of us will be on other planes during this time) I suggest you find a way to magically dilate time to keep things together.
