... but only a level three contact will help you move a body. ;)
Just some questions on how GMs here handle contacts. When do you consider a character to have gained a contact? Just by meeting them? Or does it involve something more. Is there a certain monetary amount spent - or an equivelent favor - to get in someone's good books? Not to mention who does one consider contacts? I mean I know my sister but she could hardly be considered a contact for any useful information or services. It would seem silly that a character might have to spend start up nuyen on family members. Secondly what process will you allow the players to upgrade their contacts. For example: a player who's contact does them a sizeable favor wants to make sure its appreciated and improve their relationship. Lastly who IRL would you have that you could consider a contact? |
