Random Bonds Generator for Dungeon World

By on ::

Having started out several Dungeon World games, one thing that I think may grow stale is the starting bonds.

update: While originally written for Dungeon World, the following Random Bond generator works well for 5E 📖 .

Roll 1d20 for each of the four columns.
