Connections are fragments of history and shared experiences that tie you to one or more other characters. These relationships help to create a shared background for the party, binding you together from an early stage. You can roll on the Connections Table or create your own.
We suggest you determine at least two connections — one to another player character and one to your Patron. If another player doesn’t agree with your chosen (or rolled) connection, you should pick a different one. It is also worth bearing in mind that connections are from your character’s point of view — they may not be entirely true in an objective sense.
When deciding on connections, it can be fun to randomly select another character and then work together to make sense of the connection. You can also choose a connection you think would fit well with a particular character.
Call no one happy until they are dead.
