Random Weird Office Politics Generators

I did a Focus Group for Magic, INC at Metatopia- a con I'll eventually talk about when I get that post done. I built several random generators for the game. Part of the idea is to allow GMs to whip up a random weird problem scenario based on a template, complete with a relationship map. Here's the random tables for generating those relationships between select office colleagues. They're built on d6 generation, hence the weird set up. See also: What's Up With Your Co-Worker?
