Ok, the rules are pretty simple, I'll be providing two or more options, and you follow the "adventure" that suits you best. Each "adventure" will have it's own set of naming rules for that round. Stories are optional, but always enjoyed and encouraged :) Ages are optional, and you keep track of them yourself. I will not be killing off any family members in this game, but you may chose to do so yourself. I'll provide links to each previous round, so you can quickly find your family. You can chose to sign up and join at any time, just work your way to the current round.
Note: Just because your chose Adventure # in one round doesn't mean that you are stuck with that # for every other round. Each round you can chose your own adventure (hence, the name).
Adventure 1:
Your DH and DW met at a coffee house while listening to a political speech. After the speech, your DH struck up a conversation with your DW, and pretty soon they were dating. One thing led to another, and the next thing anybody knew they were married. The only problem is that the DH is a Republican and the DW is a Democrat. This leads to some very loud "discussions", and some very good times making up.
LN: R
DH: R.E.P (18-22)
DW: D.E. [née M.] (17-21)You can chose the ages from the range provided. Initials are provided for the names, and everything else is up to you.
Adventure 2:
Your DH and DW grew up together. Life in a small town has been down right boring for these two, and they've decided to get on with it and get married. Your DW can't wait to have a houseful of children, and your DH is anxious to try his hand at making a go out of his own business. While they are young, they are also very determined and very energetic.

Adventure 3:
Both your DH's and DW's parents (all four) immigrated here from their native country. However, both your DH and DW were born in the US and feel like this country is home. Both are slightly anxious to drop some of their "parents old customs". However, there are plenty of things about their culture that they appreciate and plan to keep. They just want the option of living their life by their rules.

DH's FN/MN are Oriental in nature, with an American nickname. DW's FN is a one-syllable, fallen-from-style name. Her MN is a literal translation of an Oriental name (ex. her MN could be "Beautiful" or "Plum" as a literal translation of the Chinese name of Mei).
