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).

DC = Darling Child, or a first generation child. All other children are second generation.

---

If you wish, you may have a couple split/divorce in any round. If they divorce in round 6, they can remarry in the next spouse round.

---

Any DC may have children this round. Each DC may only use an adventure once. However, if DC#1 uses Adventure 1, DC#2 can also use that same adventure to have their own children. Each DC may use any, all, or none of the adventures in this round to have children. If your DC uses this round to have a child, and is not in a stated relationship, the child will NOT be related to whomever they marry (if they ever do) in the future. If you want to, you may chose to change any DS/DD to an AS/AD. The naming rules still apply, and as much of the story as you can make work.

---

Please add 2 years to the ages of your current family

Adventure 1:
OK, you can now see why your DC was so desperate to make this relationship work. Just weeks after the marriage, they announce that they are 6 months pregnant! Unfortunately, this sets you off on a rampage that last until the birth of the baby. However, once you see your grandchild's little face, everything is put in perspective. You see the pain that your DC/spouse had to go through just to bring this little soul into the world. You set about making amends. You've learned a valuable lesson - it's their life, their decisions, and they need to be allowed to live and make their own mistakes. As their parent, you just need to offer good advice and a lot of love and support.
---- D?: _____ _____ _____ (2)
You can chose the gender. His/her FN/MN1 comes from the character's names or actor's names of their two favorite TV shows. Each show may only be used once (so if you use Glee for a FN, then you can not use it for a MN1/MN2). His/her MN2 comes from a surname of a character on their third favorite TV show. (Ex. You can chose "Abrams" if you didn't use Glee as a FN/MN1, because the character's full name is Arthur "Artie" Abrams - Abrams is the surname). Finally, if a character has a FN/nickname, you can chose to use either the FN, the nickname as a FN, or use both the FN and the nickname.
Shows: Glee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Glee_characters, True Blood http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_of_True_Blood, Weeds http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Weeds_characters.

Adventure 2:
You are so thrilled to have a grandson! What's even better, your DC/spouse have decided to use a timeless classic name that honors his/her grandparents! It wasn't until you saw the birth announcement that you realized that they weren't using the classic spelling of the name. When you asked why, they said that they didn't want their son to have the same boring name as everybody else, but wanted it to be unique. You wonder how unique it is going to feel when everybody constantly misspells it, besides the fact that it is pronounced the same as the classic spelling - oh well!
---- DS: _____ *z* (1)
His FN is a timeless classic but spelled kre8tyv and his MN has the letter "Z" in it somewhere.

Adventure 3:
Your DC/spouse have just welcomed a brand new daughter into the family. They have the nursery decked out in pinks and lace and tons of dresses standing by for their little princess. You are thrilled to see how excited they are over their little girl, but silently wonder what will happen if she turns out to be more tomboy then princess...
