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.
