Contacts
From Sagataflwiki
A Contact is a single individual whom the character knows, and who has a certain degree of Loyalty towards the character, and is willing to help the character in certain ways, according to what his specialty is (slighly secret information, Insider/Mole information or Gossip, or various forms of skilled aid), but who will not adventure with the character or take any great risk (the Mole being the minor exception to this).
There are 8 kinds of Contacts, and a few more will perhap be added later. The average player character will have several Contacts.

Advice
Include any and all pertinent advice here. The goal is to increase the chance of each player having fun, by giving advice helping the player to decide whether to buy the ability or not (if the article is about one or more abilities) or use the option (if the article is about something that characters can choose to do), and later on how to make use of the ability (e.g. to avoid any pitfalls that aren't extremely obvious).
Please note
Clarify, elaborate, try to predict and answer questions that are somewhat likely to be asked during character creation or during play.
