[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 9041423, member: 82106"] This is very true, its quite possible for situations to simply engage with a character regardless of any explicit connection they have. In fact I think this is pretty much 100% of what happens in games like DitV or Agon from what I can see (I guess maybe the GM in those games COULD engage with specific backstory etc. of a PC, but its not at all necessary). I'd also like to point out that, beyond this, a lot of games are 'small towns' in essence. In BitD you are an inhabitant of Doskvol, and not a low profile one either (well, you may lurk, but you do consequential stuff) overall. In fact its quite likely that where you go you will run into friends, enemies, rivals, allies, your own crew, etc. It's not startling that you get roughed by the Blue Coats all the time, nor that other scum bags want to break your face, etc. You're not ordinary exactly, but the life you are leading is simply filled with stuff that is related to you.
