Help[Games] Years of your life Game- Part 8(71-80 years)
Sorry for the long wait! It's harder to do this, more than I thought, and I don't get many opportunities to work on this!
You are now an older person. This might be the time to settle down, retire, all that stuff. We are nearing the end of our game! You still take the reins on children, engagements, adoptions, and marriages, but you have to roll for everything else.

Here are the previous rounds:

And here's the die: http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm
If you roll for children/grandchildren, roll this to determine how many there will be. Roll more than once if you want. Other children can be born later on, too.
1: No children
2: One child
3: Two children
4: Three children
5: Four children
6: Five children, or more(up to 12)
---
And to determine genders, use this:
1: Boy
2: Girl
You decide whether any children are adopted or not. If they are, then use the name section to choose their name(s). You can also use the naming section for family and friends, including new family members(children, spouses, etc.).
---
You can use this to determine what any spouses look like first(for those unmarried), but if any children are adopted, then you can use this. You can add other things too(freckles, moles, etc.). Friends also count.

1-5: They look more like mom
6-10: They look more like dad
---
Use this to create names!
1: A name from literature
2: A name from a culture other than your parents'

18: A classic name
19: A hippie name

Radclyffe family
YEAR 71 There’s another major hurricane that causes some damage in the area, but the Radclyffes come through unscathed (one of the cars gets a few dents in it).
YEAR 72 Willow and her husband get a divorce because they’d been growing apart over the years. Her children, who are grown, are sad for them but understand if it makes them both more happy.
YEAR 73 Ender is famous! His brief movie role put him in touch with some more film and advertising people, his art was again featured in some prominent arenas, and this led to someone making an art documentary on him, which was well-received. He even has another bit part in a movie scheduled now! He and the family think this is all great fun to have happened to him, especially at this age.
YEAR 74 With the fame landing on him, even though he’s enjoying himself, Ender’s anxiety has ramped back up and he’s getting some more support with that.
YEAR 75 Nova and her husband (a film producer) get divorced and Nova starts seeing a (quite a bit younger) co-star.
YEAR 76 Ender takes Gareth, Betony, and Gray on an adventure – they’re going to Iceland while Ender is on location for a small part in a film.
YEAR 77 Gareth gets pneumonia at the end of the year after returning from Iceland, and it’s not clearing up quickly. Ender and the kids are concerned for him.
YEAR 78 With Gareth so sick, Ender reconnects with his good friend Meg who has helped him cope with a difficult periods in life over the years.
YEAR 79 While in the hospital for a checkup following his chronic pneumonia, Gareth is told that he has lung cancer. They’re all stunned, as he hasn’t smoked since he was in college, and he’s getting treatment and hoping for the best.
YEAR 80 Ender gets a “new job” as a retired person. He’s decided to stop work to focus on Gareth’s health and his family.
