[Games] Royal Year Game
Basically, a normal year game, but set within a royal family. The time period isn’t specified, but I imagine it to be somewhere between 1300 and 1600.Dice: http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htmIf you wish to play a more political game, you can use the optional statistics of Money and Popularity - roll d100 and add three zeros to the number you roll for your initial treasury, and roll d100 again for your percentage popularity. (i.e. rolls of 85 and 67 would lead to an initial treasury of 85 000, and a popularity rating of 67%).
If your popularity falls below 20%, you must roll a die - if you get an odd number, your monarch is deposed and executed, and their eldest child takes over. Roll for their initial popularity.Your starting couple can be either King & Queen, or Prince & Princess. Either roll for or choose their nationalities:1: English
2: French
3: Prussian
4: Venetian
5: Castilian
6: Polish
7: Portuguese
8: SwedishName them accordingly - they can have as many or as few named as you like.Then, roll for their appearances:Hair texture:
1-4: Straight
5-8: Wavy
9-12: CurlyHair colour:
1-2: Blonde
3-5: Dark Brown
6-8: Black
9-10: Red
11-12: Light BrownEyes:
1-5: Brown
6-8: Blue
9-10: Grey/Hazel
11-12: Green
If you want, roll for one partner’s title (more useful for when you are marrying off children). Terms are given first in English, and then in the languages of various countries - you can choose whichever you prefer. (I’ve taken some liberties with Venice, as it wasn’t actually a hereditary kingdom, but I figured it would be okay as this isn’t a history class!)1-3: King/Queen, König/Königin (Prussia), Kung/Drottning (Sweden), Roi/Reine (France), Rey/Reina (Castile), Rei/Reinha (Portugal), Król/Królowa (Poland), Doge/Dogaressa (Venice)
4-6: Prince/Princess, Prince/Princesse (France), Infante/Infanta (Portugal & Castile), Królewicz/Królewna (Poland), Prinz/Prinzessin (Prussia), Principe/Principessa (Venice), Furste/Furstinna (Sweden)
7-9: Duke/Duchess, Duc/Duchesse (France), Duca/Duchessa (Venice), Herzog/Herzogin (Prussia), Duque/Duquesa (Portugal, Castile), Hertig/Hertiginna (Sweden), Książę/Księżna (Poland)
10-12: Earl/Countess (England), Comte/Comtesse (France), Conde/Condessa (Portugal), Conde/Condesa (Castile), Graf/Gräfin (Prussia), Greve/Grevinna (Sweden), Hrabia/Hrabina (Poland), Conte/Contessa (Venice)————Roll for a category of events;
1-4: Child
5-8: Political
9-12: Family————Child Events
Children can be biological, or can be adopted (wards of the Crown, often an orphaned young relative). After children turn 18, you can roll for their marriages and children too, if you want.1-5: Boy
6-10: Girl
11-12: MultiplesMultiples: Roll for the gender of each child - odd is a boy, even is a girl

9-10: brown
11: blue
12: green/grey/hazel————Political Events
All things involving money & popularity are optional.1: You go to war with a neighbouring country. Roll a die - an even number means you win, an odd number means you lose. If you win, add 5 000 to your treasury, and 10% to your popularity. If you lose, subtract 5 000 from your treasury, and 10% from your popularity.
2: An important advisor dies, and a replacement must be chosen.
3: The ruler of another country dies, leaving the throne to an adult heir, and you must establish relations with the new ruler.
4: The ruler of another country dies, leaving behind only an infant heir. You can try to take over the country by force - if you choose to, roll d6 - 1-4 you fail, 5-6 you succeed. If you succeed, add 15 000 to your treasury and 15% to your popularity - if you lose, subtract 5 000 and 5%.
5: An opportunity for a royal marriage is presented - if you accept, your eldest unmarried child will be engaged (if under 18) or married (if over 18) to the Prince or Princess of another country.
6: The ruler of a country with whom you have a royal marriage dies. If the marriage has produced children, the eldest child succeeds to the throne. If you do not have a royal marriage, an offer is made for one.
7: A famine strikes your country - your popularity falls by 10%.
8: An important noble is assassinated.
9: Your country is experiencing a period of economic success - your popularity rises by 15%.
10: Several new noblemen are appointed
11: Angry peasants surround your palace, making demands. If your popularity is below 40%, roll a die - if you roll an odd number, they storm in and kill your monarch, passing the throne on to their eldest child.
12: Your palace has largely fallen into disrepair - it will cost 20 000 to repair it.————Family Events1-2: A child falls very ill - roll a die. If it’s even, the child lives. If it’s odd, the child dies.
3: Two people in the family have an argument.
4: Someone discovers a talent or calling in life
5: The royal family go on a tour of their territory
6: The family gets a pet
7: A member of the family becomes very close with someone in the court
8: Another royal family comes to visit
9: Someone becomes ill or injured
10: Someone falls unexpectedly pregnant
11-12: Free choice from the above.Il nous faut de l'audace, et encore de l'audace, et toujours de l'audace !http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/185597

Castile also faced war with Poland this year, and were unfortunately unsuccessful; Teófilo, once a strong-willed and tactical leader, has now become morose and distracted due to the loss of so much of his family. Even poor Silvio was mortally injured during the Polish war.

[5] Rudolf Adrian Klaus, Prinz von Preußen (straight red hair, brown eyes)Prussia was shocked by the death of Lennert (although little Ferdinand luckily made a full recovery). On taking the throne, Albrecht has already proved a clumsy leader, and is much less popular than his father. The Dowager Princess, Agnesia, has gathered her younger children to her and retreated to a summer home away from the family's main residence, whilst Konrad has enlisted in the military and Cornelius is staying with his Diethelm and Benetta in a palace near to that where Albrecht now resides - each of the family is dealing with their grief in their own way. In much happier news, Sophia and Abílio have been married, though the former was distraught not to have said goodbye to her beloved father. She has taken on her new Portugese name and title - she is Sofia "Sonia" Leonor Daniela, Infanta de Portugal - and hopes to visit her family in Prussia as regularly as her duties will permit, but, from now on, must renounce her place in the royal family of Prussia in favour of her new nationality.Prussia, 1551

The Royal Family of D'Or Baie (The Next 15 Years)Year 16: Political
Someone should’ve seen it coming. D’Or Baie has gone to war with Warta. Hilaire leads D’Or Baie’s forces, whilst Acting Regent Leszek leads Warta’s. The war is painfully long and many die from both sides, but in the end, Hilaire wins and finally conquers Warta, redeeming himself from his failure years before. Leszek dies, and Bartek is named the new regent.
However, Hilaire chooses to spare the young prince Bartek and allows him to keep his throne on the condition that he swears loyalty to him. Bartek reluctantly agrees.Roi Hilaire Baptise Jean Louis (38)

Notice!Something is keeping me from posting the last years of this. So I'll summarize.Hilaire and Nadège grow old. Marcellin has trouble with his wife Sergine. Pascal gets married, Nazaire becomes a respected military officer, and Alexandrine's husband dies. Babies are born, Pascal has to marry his mistress, and crazy shit happens in between.It ends in year 50, when Prince Marcellin becomes ill and eventually dies, and his eldest daughter Jeanette becomes queen when her grandparents both die.I hope this game gets a continuation!

However, the guards of the castle were able to keep the peasants at bay, so no harm was done to the family and no change was made to the line of succession. It's rumored that Duke Edward and his advisors had something to do with this small rebellion, but there has been no definitive proof of such treason...yet.

While he was mourning his father the Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief. The frivolous Gustaf II was never a King that the kingdom needed, spending the majority of his time with lavish parties and in the arms of his many lovers he left behind a wife, two mistresses, a whooping total of ten children and an empty treasury. The last one could potentially be the biggest issue, but the public vote is that the young, energetic and studious Gustaf III might get the kingdom out of financial trouble. Gustaf married Prussian Princess Marie only a year before his father's death and so far the marriage has been labeled as a successful move on both sides.Year 1

W [34]: Drottning Selma Felicia Maria Helga of Sweden (formerly Prinzessin Anselma Felicitas Marie Olga of Prussia - House Hohenzollern)D[nb]: Furstinna Carita Dagmar Louise of Sweden
Sweden hasn't been happy for... a few years now.Kung Esbjörn, ever "righteous" in his conflicts, has ended his feud with his wife's finagling relations, which began over trade disputes. Sadly, House Hohenzollern had the upper hand in negotiations, and Sweden was forced to relinquish many of its silver mines - a huge blow to the morale of the Swedish people, as well as a loss to the kingdom's economy.Does it feel good to be right now? That was a popular question whispered among the court, even among advisors - but never to the king's face. His sable hair, almost black, would be curly if he didn't keep it shorn closely against his scalp, adding to the severity of his pale skin, stiff rectangular jaw, and cheekbones that could cut glass. Not to mention the gray eyes that tended to stare straight through a person to his core. Some remarked that he would be a handsome man if not for his severity and lack of humor. Esbjörn was not even supposed to be the king - he'd had two older brothers, and a younger one. The second eldest had died from smallpox as a child, during a major outbreak in the capital. The youngest had fallen from his horse on his eighteenth birthday while attempting some sort of trick. And the heir to the throne, with a penchant for drink, lost a duel to Hertig Yngvi of Dalarna, who was captured trying to escape to Pomerania and originally sentenced to exile in the arctic reaches of the Empire. However, Kung Bertil fell ill in his depression and succumbed not two days after the Furste's funeral, leaving twenty-four-year-old Esbjörn in charge. His first order of business was to overturn the exile sentence, have Hertig Yngvi retried, and sentenced to death. After the execution, the Dalarna estates were dissolved and sold off, and the family exiled.
