Credit to everyone who has made a CAF dice game before- I love them! <3
The idea behind this Gen-CAF is all of the name banks will be from news articles from that year. It starts at 1906 because that is when the term “Breaking News” was formally defined by the Associated Press!
Use whichever dice you’d like! Here’s a link to one: https://rolladie.net/
