Subject: Contacts in SR... Players Design?
Date: Thu, 24 Mar 1994 01:42:30 -0500
Myself... I go kinda middle of the road... let the players give the character
some bare bones, where they work, what type of person they are, how they know
the PC, etc... but then I take them and work them up a little bit more...
giving the contacts background that the PCs don't necessarily know... things
that I can use to push the PCs towards an adventure, that sort of thing...
that way, they are involved, but I still have some secrets... :)
