Help[Games] US/UK Time Warp Year Game
Based this off of my old Medieval Year Game (https://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/5225239). Each era has specific namebanks and specific events. It is up to you how severely your family will be affected by events and whether or not you want middle names. Once a child is grown you can roll (or choose) their profession and create an SO for them. :)

H [25] Richard Nathaniel Wright
straight, dark brown hair, green eyes
W [22] Virginia Philomena Griffiths
curly, dark brown hair, blue-green eyes
Richard Wright is a romantic at heart. He weeps bitterly at not having been born a century ago, when he could have shaken hands with the Shelleys. In his spare time, he draws (quite well) and sings (atrociously). Shortly after their marriage, he abandoned his career as a minor clerk at a respectable law firm to pursue his passion - painting - much to the chagrin of his wife, who prefers to afford butter on her bread in the mornings to having her likeliness displayed on each wall.
Virginia, while beautiful and clever, is impulsive, ill-tempered, and hot-headed. Her parents have no idea what her husband sees in her, but are glad to have her gone from under their roof. She worked briefly as a governess, where her quick temper made the children terrified of her, but surprisingly obedient. Now, she manages the household - something her husband is unfit and unwilling to do. In her spare time, she devotes herself to taking care of her small, garden, where she grows vegetables, though she laments that the London smog does them no good.

20 Years with the Sacheverells in Elizabethan England
Part I
----------------
Year 1
DH (18): Giles Sacheverell
*Curly, dark brown hair. Dark brown eyes.
*Creative.
*Cook, owns his own bakery/restaurant.
DW (18): Martha Sacheverell (née Inwood)
*Frizzy, light brown hair. Blue-green eyes.
*Stubborn.
*Housewife.
There is a minor epidemic of smallpox in the Sacheverell’s community. The couple is not affected. Martha is frightened about the possibility of raising a family in such a disease-ridden town, but Giles decides that they will make a decision once they have their first child. Martha refuses to speak to Giles for several weeks, causing a stir among the townspeople.
Year 2

*Creative.
*Cook, owns his own bakery/restaurant.
DW (19): Martha Sacheverell (née Inwood)
*Frizzy, light brown hair. Blue-green eyes.
*Stubborn.
*Housewife.
Several months after the Sacheverells’ argument, gossip is moving around town that Giles is going to abandon Martha because of her stubbornness. When Martha first hears of it, she is furious and questions her husband, who honestly tells her the rumors are false. She cuts ties with many women of the town and once again pressures Giles to move.
Year 3

*Creative.
*Cook, owns his own bakery/restaurant.
DW (20): Martha Sacheverell (née Inwood)
*Frizzy, light brown hair. Blue-green eyes.
*Stubborn.
*Housewife.
Martha becomes ill and is bed-ridden for almost two weeks. Giles cooks for the family, but is becoming stressed that he is working, making meals, and cleaning the house. The home and garden fall into disrepair, and, because of Martha’s lack of friends, no one offers to help them.

This is such a fun idea!
I'm currently working on my own family in Elizabethan England, and I was wondering if I could post a version of this type of game but with Russian names? I don't know if you were the first to make one of these, but if you want, I will reference the ones you've made.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance!
