Going back over some old threads, that came up with the "GMing a Plotline" poll that seems to have been resurrected, I started to wonder something.
It was mentioned in one of them that most runners, at least those with backstories, don't have plot hooks related to family -- in fact, that most backstories seem to kill off family. It's piqued my curiousity. Do runners have family lives, and how does that interfere with running? Do runners have romantic entanglements? |
