Credit to everyone who has made a CAF dice game before- I love them! <3
Part 1 - 1906
Part 2 - 1916
Part 3 - 1926
The idea behind this Gen-CAF is all of the name banks will be from news articles and statistics (life expectancy, birth rate, divorce rates, etc.) from that year. It starts at 1906 because that is when the term “Breaking News” was formally defined by the Associated [name_m]Press[/name_m]!
Use whichever dice you’d like! Here’s a link to one: https://rolladie.net/
