Is there a system in place for making new contacts? During the second session the Crew of Shadows acquired a temporary asset of a Gondolier to help move them about the district. They ended up liking the NPC and wanted to ‘officially’ make him a contact. I couldn’t find anything so I set up a clock and let them know that each time they acquired him as an asset it would increase the clock.

I’ve got a Tier 0 Shadow crew.

I’ve got a Tier 0 Shadow crew. After crew creation they ended up with a -2 Status with the Cyphers faction (the messenger guild of Doskvol). So I’m wracking my brain trying to come up with ideas about how this would manifest, and I’d like to solicit the Group for help. Any ideas?

My initial thought: Any time the crew attempts to contact someone and they do not do it in person, it is assumed they send a message. So perhaps a Fortune Roll to see if the message gets through unmolested?
