Party Connections

At my table it is important that the characters have preexisting connections and reasons to be together, unless the campaign calls for something different. When I started doing this inner-party conflict dramatically decreased at my table. And the players love these options.
Feel free and foll on these tables for all the characters at the table. Or pick and choose what you like to fit your backstory.
Roll a d6 first to determine which main table to roll from, then roll the die suggested by the second table.
