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. Surnames and maiden names are not provided for in the prompts, but should be used in case they are referenced in future rounds. I'll provide links to each previous round, so you can quickly find your family.

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.

---

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 married, the child will NOT be related to whomever they marry (if they ever do) in the future.

If you are keeping track of ages: Ages are provided for each of the children. Take the age from the oldest adventure used, add 1 to it, and advance all members of your family that amount. (ex. If you only use an adventure that has a NB, then the ages of your family are advanced one year [nb+1=1]. If you use adventures with a nb, an 1 year-old and a 3-year-old, then the ages of your family are advanced 4 years [3+1=4].)

Adventure 1:
Your child is a free spirit, very outgoing, creative, and loving. It was a surprise to find out you were pregnant, but it has been a very good surprise and has made your life more fulfilling.
D?: (3) (You chose the gender) His/her FN is from an Epic Fantasy Saga, but not necessarily a name in the story. It could be a land, a title, or anything that you like. (ex. or Epic Fantasy Sagas: Lord of the Rings http://realelvish.net/namelists.php, Wheel of Time http://encyclopaedia-wot.org/characters/, the Riftwar Saga, the Firekeeper Saga, etc.) and his/her MN is a color.

---

Adventure 2:
You planned the birth of this child, and was delighted to find out that you were having a son. Right away you started searching for the perfect name. At 2, he is already a little character and loves making everybody laugh.
DS: (2) His FN is from one of the following pages: http://nameberry.com/list/177/Boys-Names-Kids-Consider-Cool, http://nameberry.com/list/128/Boys-Names-That-Mean-Wise, http://nameberry.com/list/183/Boys-Names-Trendier-Than-You-Think, or http://nameberry.com/list/196/British-Names-for-Boys. His MN starts with a "C", "G", "J" or "K".

---

Adventure 3:
You were a little dismayed to find out that you were pregnant. The timing was not good, and interrupted travel plans. The pregnancy left you too sick to think about any length of travel until you were too big to be going anywhere. However, when you held the newborn daughter in your arms, you knew it was all worth it.
DD: (nb) Her FN is a place name and her MN has a positive meaning.
