Superpowers CAF
The rules of this game are based on a story series that I’m creating. It’s not exactly a BNG, but you can still create a family and name them and I’ve seen games similar to this become popular before, so...
I hope you enjoy! :)
I like to use these dice: https://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm
For each individual, follow the chart below.
The Basics
Number of family members:
I like to do a husband and wife for the parents, but you are free to do any single or combination of parents/guardians that you like.
For the number of kids, roll the D20.
Kids’ genders: Roll any die.
Even: Girl
Odd: Boy
Kids’ ages: Roll a D20 for each kid.
Parents’ ages: Any age that is AT LEAST 18 years older than the oldest child’s age.
Suit Colors: Generate, and pick two from the list.

I hope you had fun! If so, and you’d like to play again or add to your family, please do! :)
Also, this is my first game of this time, so I apologise for being light on the actual naming aspect of it. Any feedback to help me improve is welcome. Let me know if I missed anything; if there is anything you’d like me to add or not next time.
