Misfirings from my Neurons

One of my players inquired as to how to determine who they met in town and whether that person could be depended upon for future interaction. To that end, we decided that for each week in town, during which the character spent some amount of time interaction with the locals, we would make a Streetwise roll (insert applicable skill from your game).

For each Success, the character gained an acquaintance - an NPC with name, race, occupation and general outlook.

For each Absolute (or Special) Success, the character gained a contact - an NPC (with info per above) that the PC can use in the future for however that NPC can support the PC.

(Alternately the Special Success can general more than one acquaintance over the week.)
