D10 List of Group Bonds for New Campaigns

inspiration

#1
  1. Escaped! The group is still shackled to each other by the ankles.
  2. Stranded! Your mercantile caravan left you all behind.
  3. Rip-off! You swindled a crime boss for more coin than you’d be able to earn from a lifetime of honest work.
  4. Accused! You all witnessed a crime, but you’ve been falsely accused of perpetrating it.
  5. Clandestine! You all moonlight as secret agents for a questionable wizard.
  6. Humanitarian! You covertly perform an outlawed deed for what you believe is a noble & moral cause.
  7. Repent! You are all responsible for a botched operation that killed a friend. You receive penance weekly.
  8. Blackmailed! An untouchable noble coerces you to do their dirty work.
  9. Plague! Your neighbors are falling sick, but the town over may know of a cure.
  10. Opportunity! You gave a dying man one hell of a sendoff. They gave you a deed to a crumbling mansion.

Love this…reminds me of PBTA bonds but for the group. I add PBTA like bonds to ALL of my campaigns now. They really help get the ball rolling fast. :slight_smile:

These are great! I’ve been espousing bonds between PCs and bands with NPCs for a while now. No more “lonely stranger” PCs whose families were all killed by orcs!

This is fun! I might take the idea and run with it. Maybe flesh it out and customise it for the new campaign I’m starting up shortly. :slightly_smiling_face:
