Complicated

-1 point

Some aspect of your personal life is ridiculously busy or
complex: “Has a long string of boyfriends,” “Perpetually on the
phone,” “Promises to be in two places at once,” etc. The GM
can use this to throw social curves your way when that fits the
story (or just on a roll of 6 or less on 3d in a given game ses-
sion). Common effects include angry NPCs, missed messages
and obligations, phone calls at inopportune moments, and
expensive last-minute gifts and taxi rides.
If you iron out this wrinkle, you might buy off the quirk –
but it’s more fun to replace it with Checkered Past (p. 32) if old
complications haunt you, Methodical (p. 19) if you react by
getting too organized, or a Trivial Reputation (p. 33) among
those you offended.
