Good tables for how the party know each other?

[chaoseffect]

Does anyone know of any good random tables one could use to randomly decide how party members are connected to each other? I know Numenera did that, but is there anything similar for Pathfinder, either official or not?

Nothing I know of. There's always the old "You all meet in a tavern" or "You all meet in jail" you can use.

Worst comes to worst, you can just go around the table, and have each PC say how they know one other PC. (And yell at them if they each say how they know the guy on their left.)

Yeah. There's random tables on pfsrd located here (from Ultimate Campaign), as well as a random generator to automatically roll on all the tables for you, located here.

Edit: I've also used this site to be really useful. Probably one of the best ones I've seen.

I think there's some in a book called Gamemastering.

I always like to have the party know each other by owning a business together.

That's what I originally went for, but everyone seemed a bit put on the spot so all the responses were fairly boring and bland because of it. Hoping to get something a bit more exciting now with random chance :D

I think the second link there is just what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!
