We had a little discussion regarding this some time ago. I wanted to simplify this a little more and I think I have solved the rolling too many dice at start of session problem.
Simplifying
OK, I think I might just remove the Heroic/Ambiguous/Villainous part.
I think Positive/Conflicted/Negative relationship with the group says enough.
Contacts
On the PC sheets, I might add this in to the tables as this is where I would like people to put contacts with such organisations.
Rolling the Dice
Here is how I am going to handle this going forward. The PLAYER chooses up to 3 of their relationships and rolls any dice associated with them. They must be groups that could influence the game. So, not small regional ones if nowhere near that homeland etc.
This also solves the situation where all party members belong to the same group. Some may choose it, others may choose other relationships! In any case, player's choosing three at the start evens things up and does not make starting a session ridiculous.
If people are cool with these, I am going to add the changes to the page.
