HelpYears of Your Life dice game, Part 1/5 (first 13 years)
This will be a 5 part series. Part 1 will be years 0-13, Part 2 will be years 14-18, Part 3 will be years 19-40, Part 4 will be years 41-60, and Part 5 will be years 61-80. Of course you can discontinue anywhere along the lines but the option to continue will be there. :blush:
Here's your dice: https://www.wizards....d/dice/dice.htm
Roll the dice to determine what happens each year. You can choose whether you want one or two life events to happen per year. It's your choice how detailed you want to be. Since major changes happen every year while we're young, I'm making separate Life Event sections for different stages of life. You can add things like whether they attend preschool and kindergarten before 1st grade, whether there's graduation ceremonies at their schools, etc (those sorts of details are more set per age rather than dice game format :lol: )
Year 1 will be creating your parents, determining whether you have older siblings, and creating you! You can decide the sex/gender of your parents and what they look like. Use the Name section to pick their names.
Next, we'll determine if you have older siblings with a 6 sided dice: (you will decide whether they are adopted or biological)
1. You have one older sibling
2. You are the first baby
3. You have two older siblings
4. You are the first baby
5. You have one older sibling
6. You choose.
Now, let's create you! Use the Name section to pick your name. Use any dice to determine your appearance (hair, eyes, skin tone). Odd numbers will mean you resemble parent 1 and even numbers will mean you resemble parent 2.
For the next years, use the dice to pick Life Events.

Year Zero
Lillian Thurayya and Esther Isabel Curie Al Din have welcoemd a baby boy, Hugo Qamar Curie Al Din. Hugo has thick black hair and brown skin, like Lillian, and grey eyes like Esther. He has one older sibling, a sister named Zahrah Winter-Rose Curie Al Din. Zahra has Lillian's hair as well, and her brown eyes, but she shares Esther's fair skin. At 8 months old, Lillian and Esther realize that Hugo is incredibly smart, able to recognize and say an above average amount of words.
Lillian (31) and Esther (30) with Zahrah (5) and Hugo (nb)
Year One
At a year and a half, Hugo hits a milestone early: he begins to walk by himself! The family are elated at this, and he is constantly shocking them with his profiency.
Lillian (32) and Esther (31) with Zahrah (6) and Hugo (1)
Year Two
Despite his profiency for walking and speaking, Hugo doesn't seem to understand many social cues. He doesn't wave at people when they leave or when he meets them, and he doesn't understand games like peek-a-boo. And though he speaks often, he doesn't communicate well nonverbally. Concerned, Lillian and Esther talked to Hugo's pediatrician, who is going to watch him for a social developmental disorder.
Lillian (33) and Esther (32) with Zahrah (7) and Hugo (2)
Year Three
Esther finds out she's pregnant, and the whole family is very excited preparing for the new baby. Imagine their shock when they learn they'll be welcoming not one, but two! The Curie Al Din family welcome identical twin girls, Lina Madeline Curie Al Din and Ruqayya Inès Curie Al Din. Lina and Ruqayya are identical twins, who look just like Esther: brown hair, grey eyes, and fair skin.
Lillian (34) and Esther (33) with Zahrah (8), Hugo (3), Lina (nb), and Ruqayya (nb)
Year Four
Hugo is diagnosed as Deaf, having lost his hearing after falling out of a tree. None of his family members are Deaf, but Lillian and Esther have Deaf friends who help guide them through the new diagnosis. Since Hugo is already so proficient in English, they opt to give him AAC instead of teaching him sign language.

Lillian Thurayya and Esther Isabel Curie Al Din have welcoemd a baby boy, Hugo Qamar Curie Al Din. Hugo has thick black hair and brown skin, like Lillian, and grey eyes like Esther. He has one older sibling, a sister named Zahrah Winter-Rose Curie Al Din. Zahra has Lillian's hair as well, and her brown eyes, but she shares Esther's fair skin. At 8 months old, Lillian and Esther realize that Hugo is incredibly smart, able to recognize and say an above average amount of words.

Year One
At a year and a half, Hugo hits a milestone early: he begins to walk by himself! The family are elated at this, and he is constantly shocking them with his profiency.
Lillian (32) and Esther (31) with Zahrah (6) and Hugo (1)
Year Two
Despite his profiency for walking and speaking, Hugo doesn't seem to understand many social cues. He doesn't wave at people when they leave or when he meets them, and he doesn't understand games like peek-a-boo. And though he speaks often, he doesn't communicate well nonverbally. Concerned, Lillian and Esther talked to Hugo's pediatrician, who is going to watch him for a social developmental disorder.

Year Three
Esther finds out she's pregnant, and the whole family is very excited preparing for the new baby. Imagine their shock when they learn they'll be welcoming not one, but two! The Curie Al Din family welcome identical twin girls, Lina Madeline Curie Al Din and Ruqayya Inès Curie Al Din. Lina and Ruqayya are identical twins, who look just like Esther: brown hair, grey eyes, and fair skin.

Year Four
Hugo is diagnosed as Deaf, having lost his hearing after falling out of a tree. None of his family members are Deaf, but Lillian and Esther have Deaf friends who help guide them through the new diagnosis. Since Hugo is already so proficient in English, they opt to give him AAC instead of teaching him sign language.

This was fun so I'm doing it again.
Year 0- Alan Odd Delbert [29] (curly brown hair, grey eyes) and Alynna Camille (Kasper) Delbert [22] (wavy blonde hair, blue eyes) welcome Talon Odd Delbert [0] (straight brown hair, blue) in December. He is their third son, preceded by Aaron James [2] (straight brown hair, blue eyes) and Jubal Kin [1] (wavy brown hair, blue eyes). Talon and Aaron look very alike and will be mistaken for twins in later years. Aaron and Jubal dislike Talon at first, but he grows on them. Talon is soon diagnosed as deaf, though. He has no deaf family members to connect to and he and his family must learn ASL together. It is a definite struggle but it brings them closer together as a family.
Year 1- Even though I (Talon) am deaf, I still have an amazing talent, called boxing! We discover it in May when Aaron got a little too rough one day while we were playing and I socked him in the face. As soon as I can, Dad wants me to go on a team. Mom's only concern is my deafness. (Alan-30, Alynna-23, Aaron-3, Jubal-2, Talon-1)
Year 2- Aaron goes to pre-school this year. It's weird with only Jubal and I in the house, and going in the car every morning and afternoon. We go to Maryland for Christmas vacation and see all the cool sites. I don't really get it but I like being in a new place and seeing so many people and things I'm unfamiliar with. (Alan-31, Alynna-24, Aaron-4, Jubal-3, Talon-2)
Year 3- Aaron is in kindergarten and Jubal is at pre-school. I'm spending a lot of time alone with my parents, which is nice, since we sometimes do things my brothers don't get to. We go to a family reunion in June, on my mom's side, the Kaspers. Aaron, Jubal, and I play with cousins we've never met. The older girls fawn over me and my brothers proudly translate ASL into speaking so that I can be understood. (Alan-32, Alynna-25, Aaron-5, Jubal-4, Talon-3)
Year 4- I go to pre-school and Jubal goes to kindergarten this year. My mom goes with me for a few weeks as my class learns ASL and I get settled in. It's really cool all the people I get to play with and learn with. I meet a "cognitive" developmental milestone early, where I draw more complex people. It's discovered when I go to my checkup in December. I don't really get why that's so important, but Mom and Dad are happy so I am, too. (Alan-33, Alynna-26, Aaron-6, Jubal-5, Talon-4)

DD [nb]: Willow Luna Strahovski [red wavy hair, green eyes]
My parents Gil and Georgie have known each other forever, well ever since they first met when my mom was two months old and my dad a month younger, at that time our grandmothers, who have been best friends since university, had no idea that one day those cute chubby babies will marry each other. They were good friends for the most part of their childhood, but drifted appart in high school, each of them having their own group of friends and interests. After my mom moved away for university they lost any contact and haven't met again until they were in their mid-twenties. My mom was home for holidays and literaly bumped into my dad at the library, as an apology she invited him for a coffee, which turned into a dinner and lunch the next day and the rest became a history. They were married two and half years later and my dad relocated to San Francisco, where my mom had a well paying job in IT. My older sister Gracie was born before their first anniversary and I, Willow, followed three years later.

Being the youngest in our family lasted just a little over a year, by my 5 month old photoshoot my mom had me in a "big sister" onesie to surprised my daddy. Well he certainly was surprised that day because he forget all about those funny cooing sounds he always makes that make me laugh, I was not impressed. Rosie arrived safe and sound just months after my first birthday and I have moved to the middle child position, she looks nothing like me or Grace, who is smitted by the baby, as for me I'm not sure what all that fuss about.

Year Zero- Bryan Dean Dixon [26] (wavy blond hair, hazel eyes) and his wife, Liza Isolde (Berry) Dixon [24] (straight blonde hair, brown eyes) welcome a little girl, Isolde Selena Dixon [0]. She is their eldest, and inherits her hair from her father and eyes from her mother. Bryan and Liza soon have to go back to work to provide for their unexpected blessing. They hire a nanny, a young woman named Riley-Cheyanne Bowers, who Isolde quickly comes to adore.
Year One- I (Isolde) am diagnosed with a mild peanut allergy after I get hives after eating a PB&J sandwich. Mom stops buying things with peanuts, but I'm too young for this allergy to have a big effect on my life. [Bryan-27, Liza-25, Isolde-1]
Year Two- Aunt Quinn doesn't come over anymore, and Dad says she went to heaven. I don't understand why he's sad all the time now, but I give him lots of hugs to make him feel better. Mom makes me wear black clothes and we go to a church and see a lot of sad people. We sit by Grandpa and Grandma (Dad's mom & dad). Aunt Quinn is in a box at the front. After some people talk, they put her in a hole in the ground. I don't understand it but I know I'll never see her again. [Bryan-28, Liza-26, Isolde-2]
Year Three- Mom has more babies! She has two girls at the same time. Their names are Brianna Dian (after Dad) and Skyler Wren. They both have straight blonde hair and brown eyes. I love both of them a lot, and I play with them all the time. Mom stops going to work for a while, but then Riley-Cheyanne comes back after many months. Brianna and Skyler love her as much as I do! [Bryan-29, Liza-27, Isolde-3, Brianna & Skyler-0]
Year Four- Mom has ANOTHER baby! She has another girl, named Liza Monroe, called Liz. When Mom doesn't go back to work for a while this time, Riley-Cheyanne keeps coming. It seems like Mom needs a lot of help! Riley-Cheyanne drives me to and from this place called preschool. The people there taught me how to write my name.

H [34] Ahab Perseus Reid
W [34] Magdalene Prudence Belmont
D1 [7] Magdalena Viola Belmont
S1 [5] Hildebrand Peter Belmont
D2 [0] Sophia Coraline Belmont
Ahab Perseus Reid, the only child of two professors (one of English literature, the other of Classics) and Magdalene Prudence Belmont, fifth daughter of devoutly Catholic middle class parents, met at university, where they were both studying history. They quickly became good friends, and married when they were 27.
Ahab is imposing and prematurely greying, with an aquiline nose and clever, colourless eyes. His small wire spectacles enlarge them visually, giving him the appearance of a particularly sturdy insect. His smile is wide and disarming, if vaguely ironic. He has an elegant aquiline nose and a cleft chin. His skin is rosy and tans well.
His wife, Magdalene, is tall and wry, with coffee-brown eyes and a luxurious mane of chestnut hair, which she arranges in interesting and varied coiffures. She has a strong jaw, wide lips, and a slightly upturned nose. Her skin is pale and she applies thick layers of sunscreen even in the winter, so as to avoid sunburns.
Before our main character was born, they had two children: the elder, Magdalena, was, of course, named after her mother, while her middle name honoured the Shakespearean heroine. They decided to give her and all her siblings her mother's surname, as they thought it worked better with most given names than Reid did.

Love the diversity in this Year Game!
Year Zero
Bo and Ottilie Ophelia Guan (nee Johnson) have given birth to their first baby, a girl named Avery Xue Guan. She has straight black hair like her Chinese father, is darker-skinned like her Black mother, and shares both of their brown eyes. Ottilie joins a mummy-and-me painting class where the mothers paint while their children finger paint. Avery gets along great with most of the babies, especially Winter, the daughter of Ottilie's best friend.
Bo [21] and Ottilie [21] with Avery [nb]
Year One
Avery loses her Dad's grandpa, Yéyé. She didn't know him, and she's not old enough to understand, anyway, but it takes a toll on her dad.
Bo [22] and Ottilie [22] with Avery [1]
Year Two
Avery is diagnosed as Deaf. Her Auntie Edith was also born Deaf, and because of this her mother knows sign language. She begins to teach BASL to Avery and her husband as well.
Bo [23] and Ottilie [23] with Avery [2]
Year Three
After three years of marriage, Bo and Ottilie separate, then divorce later in the year. Avery hates the separation and doesn't understand it, but by the time the divorce rolls around she's become much more accustomed to splitting her time.
Bo [24] and Ottilie [24] with Avery [3]
Year Four
While at their painting class, Ottilie realizes that Avery is incredibly adept at art for her age. Excited, she enrolls her in lessons with the local art assocation that provides the Mummy and Me classes.
Bo [25] and Ottilie [25] with Avery [4]
Year Five
Bo and his new girlfriend, Riley Leah Lewis, welcome a baby girl named Harper Zhihao Guan. Harper has straight hair, like both her parents. It's blonde, like her mom's, and she has her dad's brown eyes. Her skintone is closer to that of her white mother than Bo. Avery's not the biggest fan of Harper at first, by no fault of her own - she doesn't like Riley that much, either.

Year Three
After three years of marriage, Bo and Ottilie separate, then divorce later in the year. Avery hates the separation and doesn't understand it, but by the time the divorce rolls around she's become much more accustomed to splitting her time.

Year Four
While at their painting class, Ottilie realizes that Avery is incredibly adept at art for her age. Excited, she enrolls her in lessons with the local art assocation that provides the Mummy and Me classes.

Year Five
Bo and his new girlfriend, Riley Leah Lewis, welcome a baby girl named Harper Zhihao Guan. Harper has straight hair, like both her parents. It's blonde, like her mom's, and she has her dad's brown eyes. Her skintone is closer to that of her white mother than Bo. Avery's not the biggest fan of Harper at first, by no fault of her own - she doesn't like Riley that much, either.

Interesting concept. I'm not sure I've played a game quite like this one before. I wrote a little note about each year.
Birth
Father: Edwin Michel Thompson "Ed" (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(27)
Mother: Joanna Elise (Cambridge) Thompson (curly blond hair, green eyes)(26)
Me: Jenna Elisabeth Thompson (wavy blond hair, brown eyes)(0)
I was born this year.
Year 1
Father: Edwin Michel Thompson "Ed" (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(28)
Mother: Joanna Elise (Cambridge) Thompson (curly blond hair, green eyes)(27)
Me: Jenna Elisabeth Thompson (wavy blond hair, brown eyes)(1)
Joanna signed us up for a Mommy and Me Class at the gym. There were four other mommies and babies, and I made special friends with another little girl named Abby.
Year 2:
Father: Edwin Michel Thompson "Ed" (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(29)
Mother: Joanna Elise (Cambridge) Thompson (curly blond hair, green eyes)(28)
Me: Jenna Elisabeth Thompson (wavy blond hair, brown eyes)(2)
I didn't start walking until after I was eighteen months old, despite the Mommy and me class in my infancy. The doctors were a little concerned, but once I started moving around, I went right to running and jumping and hardly ever walked anywhere.
Year 3:
Father: Edwin Michel Thompson "Ed" (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(30)
Mother: Joanna Elise (Cambridge) Thompson (curly blond hair, green eyes)(29)
Me: Jenna Elisabeth Thompson (wavy blond hair, brown eyes)(3)
I was diagnosed with hyperlexia this year--Mom said I must have used all the time I before I walked to learn how to read instead. Mom says I've been reading picture books for about a year now, and most recently I read my first chapter book!
Year 4:
Father: Edwin Michel Thompson "Ed" (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(31)
Mother: Joanna Elise (Cambridge) Thompson (curly blond hair, green eyes)(30)
Me: Jenna Elisabeth Thompson (wavy blond hair, brown eyes)(4)
Sister: Hazel Wren Thompson (wavy blond hair, brown eyes)(0)
Mom had another baby this year--a little sister that she and dad named Hazel. I think she's a little tiny, wrinkly, and noisy, but Mom tells me she'll be fun to play with in a year or two.
