    The document discusses using a relationship chart to establish connections between characters in an RPG group to avoid the cliche of characters just meeting in a bar. During character creation, each player randomly or deliberately selects a relationship from the chart that ties their character to the player on their left and right. This establishes two relationships for each character that can be built upon throughout the campaign to enhance storytelling and drive adventures.

    RPG Relationships

    Joining characters through relationships brings rich connections between characters and the group in which they find themselves. Establishing these relationships solves one of the most tiresome clichs in the game: the old you all meet in a bar character introduction. Using the relationship chart can help players build simple yet rich relationships among the members of the party that can lead to all new adventures, quests, connections to the world, and Karma Points.

    Using the Chart


    During character creation, each player randomly rolls on the chart, selects from the chart, or uses the chart for inspiration and invents their own relationship. The result ties his or her character to the character of the player on his or her left. This repeats around the table until each character has two relationships, one with the player on the left and one with the player on the right. Let the players discuss the nature of this relationship, choosing a side when applicable and adding some details of their own. Throughout the campaign, the relationships will be reinforced by tying them to the plots and adventures as well as the backgrounds of the characters.
