You also need to ask what the rmap is for. Not every game needs one. Some games ought not have them. I didn’t run The One Ring with a relationship map because it’s such a travelogue.

So…I run Sagas very much as a family melodrama. Tbh I’m not sure what I’d do with a set of purely factual relationships, and Jason’s advice is so smart here. But I need it to give me spicy conflicts and it does. Not really sure that I need the same spice in Apocalypse World or The Sprawl. Or look at Undying, the map is a pure expression of debt and power; nobody really cares if you’re still feeling salty 300 years after that incident with the Vicar.
