[Games] Year Game - Royal Edition!
I've done two (2) productive things today so I feel I should post something. This might end up being boring as heck, because I'm kind of making it up as I go along!
Basically, this is a year game, only your family is a royal family. Use an 8-sided die: http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm
Parents
One of the parents is a prince or princess: it's up to you which. Roll everything but 'title' for them. The setting can be fictional, or a real country, and you can use any time period! Their names are up to you. The marriage can be for love, arranged for political gain, or a mixture.

Year 0
DH [18]: King Bertil Viggo Oscar Birka
-brown curly hair, blue eyes
DW [18]: Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Mary Fife
-red wavy hair, green eyes
Government form: The monarch has a small amount of power: most is wielded by a democratic government
After a year of regency of government members, Bertil finally came off age in June. His first decision, he married his girlfriend Lady Alexandra Fife from the Kingdom of Britanica in July. Bertil, the King of Scania, is the eldest of four children of the late King Oscar of Scania and his first wife Henny, née Birka. Alexandra is a daughter of wealthy merchant from Britanica, Lord Alfred Fife and his wife Susannah, née Tollemache. The couple met two years ago at one of the foreign missions that Bertil was a part of. Now at the young age of eighteen they became the reigning couple of Scania.
Year 1 - Political event - The government experiences a major upheaval
DH [19]: King Bertil Viggo Oscar Birka
DW [19]: Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Mary Fife
The extremely popular king has managed to come further in one year than his father did in a lifetime. The government voted a new bill that handed the absolute power to the young king, who is responsible to no one.
Year 2 - Family event - A parent and child fight
DH [20]: King Bertil Viggo Oscar Birka
DW [20]: Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Mary Fife
Bertil's younger sister Alice had always been very optioned, but her latest decision to leave Scania and move to Norvea where she is working as a nurse, something that does not correspond with her Royal status, led to a huge public fight between the twenty year old and her step-mother Antonia.
Year 3 - Child event - multiples/4 children
DH [21]: King Bertil Viggo Oscar Birka
DW [21]: Lady Alexandra Elizabeth Mary Fife
DD [0]: Princess Henrietta Astrid Amabel Birka
DD [0]: Princess Alexandra Maria Alice Birka
DD [0]: Princess Susannah Ingrid Thea Birka
DS [0]: Prince Gustaf Viggo Bertil Birka
When the marriage entered its third year rumors about Alexandra's possible infertility started. In March the Royal court stopped all the whispers when Alexandra's first pregnancy was announced. In early August the couple's four children and four heirs, Henrietta, Alexandra, Susannah and Gustaf were born prematurely. All four had to stay at the hospital for a while, but by October the Royal palace was filled with baby cries, diapers, burps and cute little outfits.

AN: Look, as soon as Berenice died, I was determined to get Frida to 18.
W: [26] Princess Berenice Sarah Aitana Elsa of Ereb [straight brown hair, grey eyes]
H: [24] Grand Duke Clement Oliver Kenneth of Isota [straight red hair, hazel eyes]
The monarchy of Ereb can do as they wish, but a council has the final say on all decisions. Berenice is the sister to the current queen, Camille; however, the latter's health is deteriorating, so it is unknown how much longer Camille will reign. Clement is the oldest child of the Duke Isota. Isota directly borders Ciaran, and as such, is often the target of invasion.
Year 1: Camille's illness has finally caught up to her. Berenice's coronation as Queen of Ereb happens after a long mourning period.

The Boldriges
I was determined to get the oldest child to 18. So here, have 22 years of this crazy royal family:
DW [24] Princess Ophelia Reya Gould Boldridge
DH [25] Viscount Remus James Harcourt
The kingdom of Catherston is a peaceful place. For the most part. The king and queen have three children, two girls and one boy. The oldest child, Evangeline, has been married off already, to a neighboring prince. The second child, Princess Ophelia, has just gotten married to Viscount Remus Harcourt. Remus and Ophelia were childhood friends who fell in love as the years went by. It’s a good thing that their parents had arranged a marriage between them already. Ophelia has curly black hair and grey eyes. Remus has wavy blond hair and blue eyes. Catherston is a democracy, in which the monarch has a small amount of power. As next in line, Ophelia will be that monarch one day (as Catherston is totally cool with letting women inherit - Ophelia’s father isn’t connecting to royals in any way except his wife!). Ophelia and Remus are happy to start their lives together!
Year 1: family event - current monarch dies
Ophelia was devastated when it was revealed that her mother, Catherston’s beloved Queen Rayna, died of a sickness. The mourning, as is a custom in Catherston, lasted for two weeks. On the final day of the second week, Ophelia was crowned Queen, and Remus her consort. Ophelia’s father, Raymond, is still around to help when needed, thankfully, as Ophelia thinks she may need it!
DW [24] Queen Ophelia Reya Gould Boldridge
DH [25] Prince Consort Remus James Harcourt
Year 2: family event - a member of the immediate family passes
Death seems to be common among the Boldridge family, as Ophelia’s younger brother Arthur died in an accident not three months past. He was only twenty years old. Scared by the recent deaths, Ophelia wrote to her sister Evangeline to ensure her safety, and was pleased to learn that Evangeline and her family were safe. Other than that, the kingdom is doing well. Ophelia has come to be glad for the democratic nature of their government, as it puts far less pressure on herself.

W: Alexandra Mary Rose Elena Windsor "Princess Alexandra" [straight, brown hair and brown eyes, 24]
H: Arthur James William Montess "The Viscount Montess" [curly, brown hair and green eyes, 29]
Meet Lexa and Art or, as they're better known to the wider public, Princess Alexandra and The Viscount Montess. Lexa is third in line to the throne of England; her grandfather King William rules the newly independent nation alongside her grandmother Catherine, while her father Prince George and mother Princess Eleanore undertake many official duties. Lexa's younger brother, Prince Christopher, is fourth in line to the throne but soon that may change as Lexa has recently married.
Lord Arthur, The Viscount Montess, is a friend of the family with his title born to him from his father. Despite their pedigree, Lexa and Art are grounded and modern, like her grandparents before her, Lexa has continued to earn the love of the nation. King William and the Royal Family have little power over the nation as most is wielded by the democratic government; but laws and important acts must still go through the King or Queen first.
Year1: The nation rejoices as Princess Alexandra and Prince Arthur welcome a daughter. Princess Octavia Mary Matilda is born with wavy, black hair and brown eyes.
Year2: Lexa's brother, Prince Christopher marries his fiancée, Lady Georgina in a beautiful ceremony. Lexa plays the role of chief bridesmaid.
Year3: Lexa and Art are overjoyed to welcome their second child, a brother for Octavia. Welcome to the world: Prince Blake Indiana Isaac with curly, blonde hair and green eyes.
Year4: The Prime Minister of England is assassinated in a terror attack that an extreme-Islamist group take credit for. Although the Royal Family were not the target this time, they are flown to the safety of a palace in Cumbria and locked down for 72 hours.
Year5: Oh my! Lexa and Art make history by becoming the first ever Royals in English history to bare triplets! Prince Reuben Elijah Parker, Princess Eve Elsa Margot and Prince Tobias Atticus Enzo cause an uproar when they are born - a much needed reprieve from the previous years events. The babies have wavy, brown hair and brown eyes, wavy, blonde hair and green eyes, and straight, black hair and brown eyes respectively.

Florabelle loves her babies- they give her something to do. But she has to have a lot of help, too. If that isn’t bad enough, she has taken in her orphaned triplet nephews. She just couldn’t say no! As troublesome as it may be, it’s an honor. The kingdom will be gaining three new young men who may one day support and guide it.

Crown Prince Samuel Radek Stanislav Teodor (wavy brown hair, grey eyes)(19)
Archduchess Cathrin Constanze Heidrun (wavy blond hair, brown eyes)(17)
Crown Prince Radek of Torrencia was wed to Archduchess Cathrin of Organia in a lavish royal ceremony. The wedding was arranged by Crown Prince Radek's parents, King Samuel and Queen Marta. King Samuel is not in good health, and they wanted to ensure their only child (and heir) was married before he passed away. Archduchess Cathrin, eldest daughter of Archduke Heinrich and Archduchess Louisa, is fifth in line for the Organian throne. She and Radek have met a few times at official functions; but do not know each other well.
Year 1: Someone involved in a media scandal
Country: Torrencia
Crown Prince Samuel Radek Stanislav Teodor (wavy brown hair, grey eyes)(20)
Archduchess Cathrin Constanze Heidrun (wavy blond hair, brown eyes)(18)
Crown Prince Radek and Archduchess Cathrin's first wedding anniversary passed, not with celebration of a year of wedded bliss; however, Archduchess Cathrin was involved in a media scandal. Pictures surfaced of the Archduchess involved in several apparently compromising situations. After about a month, the firestorm died down, and Cathrin was relieved to return to life as "normal". Crown Prince Radek was publicly quiet about the whole situation, but was privately upset with Cathrin for putting herself in such situations at all.
Year 2: child event; triplets
Country: Torrencia
Crown Prince Samuel Radek Stanislav Teodor (wavy brown hair, grey eyes)(21)
Archduchess Cathrin Constanze Heidrun (wavy blond hair, brown eyes)(19)
DS/DS/DD: Otto Thomas Eckhart (wavy brown hair, grey eyes) Milo Tobias Heiko (straight blond hair, grey eyes), and Theodora Elizabeth Kreszentia (curly blond hair, grey eyes)(0)
Crown Prince and Archduchess Cathrin announced the royal pregnancy in early fall. By midwinter, rumors were flying that Archduchess Cathrin had been unfaithful--after all, the scandal she was involved in was with a young man, and she appeared to be much further along than she should have been. Radek and Cathrin countered those rumors by definitively announcing that Cathrin was expecting triplets! Twins, though rare, are a good omen in Organia. Triplets are practically unheard of, both in Torrencia and Organia. Public opinion seems to think that triplets are an omen of untold prosperity and greatness.

Year 0 - 2000
DH [25]: Prince Oscar Gustaf Leopold Birka
- straight black hair & brown eyes
DW [25]: Henrietta Eva Maria (Johansson) Birka "Henny"
- straight brown hair & blue eyes
Goverment: The monarch is free to do what they like, but must answer to an assembly of some kind
Oscar and Henny were married in a beautiful ceremony in June of this year. Oscar is the oldest child of King Birger Birka from the Kingdom of Scania and his wife Queen Charlotta Birka. Henny is daughter of an accountant Holger Johansson and his wife Eva Johansson. The marriage is one of love, the couple being together already for five years. Birger and Charlotta had no objections and allowed their son marry a commoner. Oscar and Henny are at the moment the IT couple of Scania and the whole kingdom follows every step of their romance.
Year 1 - 2001 - Family event (someone is injured or ill)
DH [26]: Prince Oscar Gustaf Leopold Birka
DW [26]: Henrietta Eva Maria (Johansson) Birka "Henny"
During their first visit to the most northern part of Scania in January, Henny unluckily slipped on the ice while getting out of the car and broke her left arm. She had to have her arm in cast for the following month and underwent a physical theraphy afterwards, but by May the injury was long forgotten.
Year 2 - 2002 - Child event - Boy/girl twins
DH [27]: Prince Oscar Gustaf Leopold Birka
DW [27]: Henrietta Eva Maria (Johansson) Birka "Henny"
DS [0]: Prince Bertil Viggo Oscar Birka
DD [0]: Princess Alice Isadora Maude Birka
The news about Henny's pregnancy spread around the kingdom like a wildfire. For months every step she made was followed by media and her growing bump was a subject of discussion and speculation. Finally on the day of the second wedding anniversary, Henny gave birth to twins. Prince Bertil was born first, followed by his sister Princess Alice barely twenty minutes later. The twins were born with bunch of brown curly hair and their mamma's blue eyes. In the months following their birth both their parents lightened their duties to be as much as possible with their children.

Year 0 (1900)
DH [21]: Prince Cassius Cedric Alexander Kolteas 'Cass'
- Hair: Straight black
- Eyes: Brown
DW [20]: Countess Johanna Rosamund (Tayhold) Kolteas 'Hanna'
- Hair: Straight blonde
- Eyes: Hazel
Government: Monarch has a small amount of power; most is wielded by an elected government
Cass and Hanna were married last winter in a beautiful ceremony, attended by many of the nobles of the country of Arcya. Cass is the eldest child of King Cedric and Queen Evaline, and Hanna is a wealthy young Countess, the eldest child of an ancient but not-particularly-powerful noble family. The match was mostly one of love - it would have been far more beneficial to ally through marriage with the neighbouring countries of Escaia and Corentium, but Cedric and Evaline want their son to be happy, and so permitted the union. The two are living on cloud nine, delighted that the marriage was approved, and the media is in a frenzy. The pretty Hanna is a popular choice for future Queen of Arcya, and every time the royal couple step outside, they're swarmed by journalists. The new century is started on a positive note, with the future looking bright for this kingdom, and our couple.
Year 1 (1901) - Family event - Someone is injured or ill
1901 has a less jubilant start than 1900. Hanna contracts a bad fever, and is bedridden for several months. The newspapers begin to spread rumours that the Countess is on her deathbed, and even around the royal palace, fears begin to grow. Thankfully, due in no small measure to the brilliance of the royal physician, Hanna pulls through, and is walking around by May. By July she is fit enough to resume her royal duties, and Cass is all the more grateful that their marriage was permitted.
