(Skip this if you’re not including story elements)
Suggestions:
1. A family member has travelled far away after being offered a promising job, unfortunately this family member has acted as a sort of glue for the family relationships, and now that they’re gone, relationships are beginning to crumble, and all hell will break loose. Will they cope without this peacekeeper?
2. A family member was eavesdropping on some of the others after they heard they’re name being mentioned, they suddenly realise it’s nothing positive. This family member is now incredibly hurt and doesn’t know who to trust in their family. Will they keep to themselves from now on? Will they confront the family, and will that even help the situation?
3. A younger family member has found a diary from one of their parents referencing a past lover, but these entries seem to date a around the nine months before the child’s birth, has one the parents cheated? Do they both know about this? And is this child really the product of the parent they thought or of this lover?——-(Skip to here if not including story elements)Deaths:
Roll a 10 sided dice for every family member, if they get 9 they die, if they are over 80, 10 also constituted as a death.
For every couple, roll a 20 sided dice:1-4: Relationship does not change
5-13: Couple progresses (E.g Engaged——> Married) if they are married or under 18 the couple does not change
14-18 The couple separates, through any way you like, even death(even if you have not rolled either of their deaths beforehand)
19-20 One or both of the partners takes on a lover
Generate a 20 sided dice for all singles aged 15 or older. If they are under 18, 12 or above is a significant other. If they are between 18 and 26, 7-13 is a significant other, 13-16 is an engagement, and 17-20 is a marriage. If they are 27 or older, 6-9 is a significant other, 10-14 Is an engagement, and 15-20 is a marriage. The ages of the spouses and fiancé/fiancée are up to you.For potential parents, role a 20 sided dice:
For a potential parents aged 18-23: 1-11 is no children, 12-16 is 1 child, 17-20 is 2 children.
For a potential parents aged 24-34: 1-6 is no children, 7-10 is 1 child, 11-15 is 2 children, 16-20 is 3 children.
For a potential parents aged 35-45: 1-9 is no children, 10-15 is 1 child, 16-18 is 2 children, 19-20 is 3 children.
For potential parents aged 45+: 1-14 is no children, 15-18 is 1 child, 19-20 is 2 children.
These children can be biological or adopted.

DD: (9) Margaret Grace Buckley “Meg”Anthony had been promoted to a Dentist, the whole family is proud of him. Also, Rachel met her boyfriend. He is a very short, black-haired, shy person. Meanwhile, Grace, Jeremy, and Margaret went to Grace’s mothers house to celebrate her 88th birthday. The rest of the family stayed home, Anthony didn’t want anything to do with Grace’s sisters. One of them most likely kidnapped him and made them pay money. But, instead he decided to spy on them. To see what they would do next. Later that night, Anthony heard three voices from outside. One was definitely Grace’s. The other two definitely werent her mother. But, they also weren’t childrens voices…It was two of Grace’s sisters. Anthony tried to pick up what they were saying he couldn’t understand all of it. He heard Grace say something about what to do with Anthony next. A few minutes later, he heard one of the sisters say that she didn’t want it to end up in murder again, and they all laughed. They then went on to talk about food poisoning. Anthony almost screamed as they were talking about his fate. First, Grace and her sisters killed Simon. Now, they are planning something for Anthony. Anthony ran all the way home rethinking every lie Grace ever told him

- S/D [nb] Louis Eugene Buckley / Evelyn Lorraine "Lori" BuckleyWhen Stephen graduated, he went to work at a children's hospital as a doctor. He planned to marry Rebecca and told his family as much in his letters. One Christmas, when he found the time to visit and was able to bring his lady love along, a mere two years after the Incident, the Buckley heir noticed something strange happening with his mother. She was loathe to let him examine her, but at his insistence she finally relented. She was feverish, and complained of headaches, and had a cough.Stephen ruled it a simple winter fever in her old age. Little did he know that a month later she would be admitted to the hospital and later die of tuberculosis.That same winter, Stephen would contract diptheria from one of his patients and later died from it. He would not bat an eye at any of his symptoms, focusing on the children he was charged to treat.The family mourned greatly both of these. Many members became depressed, not least Nathaniel and Rebecca (who is considered a Buckley by the family). Both these were rescued from their trenches by a friend. One of Nathaniel's closest friends, Nurse Edna Razner, a feisty spinster of a woman who would "never be wed." Helping Nathaniel through his troubles, she finally admitted something that had been going on for years: she was never just his friend. The two had a modest little courthouse wedding just before the Great Depression started.Rebecca's savior was Leonard Belanger, Stephen's best friend and a close confidant to her. He promised to take good care of her, and their marriage is for more practical reasons than romantic ones, though they are quite fond of each other.

But Julian found his rescue was not received quite as warmly as he had hoped. He overheard Lydia gossiping with a friend that Julian might well have in fact been kidnapped - but only after his actual disappearance at the funeral. After all, there was no sign of forced entry in the house, and the note he left, while vague and hasty, showed no indication of being penned under duress or phrased by the purported kidnapper, Julian's uncle. Most tellingly, however, the ransom notes only started coming in weeks after Julian was kidnapped, and even after his rescue, details of how he was kidnapped remained blurry, Larry using his connections to silence the media from speculation. Lydia theorized that Julian might have run away, overwhelmed by his mother's death and perhaps jealous of his elder brother's happy marriage. Or that something more scandalous than that had happened - that Julian might have got involved with crime, fled with a lover, or left willingly with his uncle, and the kidnapping was a ruse.
