FAMILY SHIPWRECK! (NB Game)

*Warning for shipwreck (obviously) and potential deaths.

Okay so in this game, there’s going to be a family aboard a sinking ship among several other passengers. How will it all go down (literally)? Well let’s see here!

Game Setup

[name_m]Roll[/name_m] Dice for when the game takes place.

  1. [name_u]Early[/name_u] 1800s
  2. Late 1800s
  3. [name_u]Early[/name_u] 1900s
  4. Late 1900s
  5. Present day
  6. You choose

So to create the family, start with a couple and roll for how many children they have and a 1-6 Dice for their ages. Make sure the couple’s ages are reasonably aligned for their kids’ ages. D4 how to choose names:

  1. Common for time period
  2. [name_u]Nature[/name_u], virtue, and/or seasonal word names.
  3. Short but sweet
  4. You choose

Now roll a 1-6 Dice twice for any siblings of the couple.

  1. 1 older brother
  2. 1 older sister
  3. 1 twin brother
  4. 1 twin sister
  5. 1 older brother and 1 younger sister
  6. 1 older sister and 1 younger brother

And a 1-4 dice if they have kids.

  1. No kids
  2. 1 baby (gender your choice)
  3. 1 kid (gender your choice)
  4. You choose

All surnames are your choice.

The family is now on the ship. Each day, roll a 1-6 dice until the shipwreck happens!

[name_u]Day[/name_u] 1:

  1. (You choose) enjoys walking around the ship and exploring.
  2. The family enjoys the lovely dinner at a great price.
  3. (One of the couple’s siblings) misses being at home with spouse.
  4. (You choose) starts to feel sick, but it’s just seasickness.
  5. SHIPWRECK! Ignore the following days and go to the shipwreck section.
  6. The youngest family member keeps crying and everyone tries to calm down.

[name_u]Day[/name_u] 2:

  1. One of the kids almost gets missing while running around the boat.
  2. SHIPWRECK! Ignore the following days and go to the shipwreck section.
  3. (You choose) starts to feel sick, and it’s affecting health and energy.
  4. The family enjoys the pool.
  5. The kids enjoy the main deck.
  6. (You choose) is worried about the ship’s stability.

[name_u]Day[/name_u] 3:

  1. SHIPWRECK! Ignore the following days and go to the shipwreck section.
  2. (You choose) argues with (you choose).
  3. (You choose) eats a lot of delicious food, then falls asleep.
  4. The couple bonds even closer while on board.
  5. (You choose) isn’t enjoying the ride much and wants to get to the destination.
  6. The family gets lost while exploring the ship.

SHIPWRECK! If you rolled this section, proceed here. If you made it all 3 days before the wreck, it’s time for the inevitable: the ship starts sinking!

[name_m]Roll[/name_m] a 1-6 dice if the ship staff made a rule if anyone gets prioritised. This doesn’t mean that the prioritised survives and non-prioritised dies, it just raises the chances.

  1. No priority
  2. Women and children first
  3. Children first
  4. No priority
  5. First class priority (Roll dice if your family was part of first class, even means yes and odd means no. If it’s yes, your family is essentially all prioritised but if no, none of them are.)
  6. No priority

Shipwrecked Result Events: [name_m]Roll[/name_m] D10 for each member of the family as to whether they safely got off the ship. In the unlucky chance that they somehow all died, you can spare three from what would be their death and rewrite that scenario.

For Prioritised
  1. Survived: Made it on the lifeboat as quickly as possible.
  2. Survived: Was one of the first to board a lifeboat.
  3. Survived: Got separated by family while people were trying to board but luckily made it through.
  4. Died: Sacrificed own life to make sure someone else survived.
  5. Survived: Found the lifeboats first and alerted other prioritised family members to get on.
  6. Survived: Was lost and on the brink of dying, but a ship staff member found the survivor on time and made sure of that person’s survival.
  7. Survived: Almost missed the lifeboat that person was prioritised for but managed to get there in time.
  8. Survived: Found another prioritised relative to get on the same lifeboat with.
  9. Survived: Boarded the closest lifeboat, luckily very close.
  10. Died: Boarded a very crowded lifeboat, which sunk due to too much weight.
For Non-Prioritised (or for everyone if there wasn’t a priority)
  1. Survived: Only had a life raft but was able to board it safely.
  2. Survived: Jumped as quickly as possible to anywhere that room was available.
  3. Died: Struggled from an injury caused by the shipwreck and succumbs.
  4. Survived: Was one of the last to make it on a life raft and barely made it on time.
  5. Survived: Was not originally going to survive but did so when a ship staff member sacrificed to save that person.
  6. Died: Attempted to jump off the boat too early onto a life raft but fell to death from the height.
  7. Died: Stayed on the boat inside and was never able to get on the outside deck quickly enough.
  8. Died: Tried to swim as fast as possible to a life raft but was not strong enough of a swimmer to get there.
  9. Died: Succumbed to hypothermia.
  10. Died: Stayed on the deck too long and sunk with the ship when all the lifeboats and life rafts already departed.

The surviving family members are trying to get to shore. Due to the hectic scramble, they were separated, but now this is their chance to get reunited, at least the people who survived to do so. [name_m]Roll[/name_m] 1-6 to how this concludes.

  1. The separated surviving family members are found by a passing-by boat who saves them all.
  2. The separated surviving family members are stuck on an island, but manage to get rescued. (Roll a 1-6 dice, if you roll a 6, someone of your choice dies on the island before they’re all saved.)
  3. The separated surviving family members find a little civilisation and try to make the most of their time there before heading home.
  4. The separated surviving family members find a little civilisation and end up living there after all, needing a new beginning after what had just happened.
  5. It’s a tougher than usual time for everyone and one of the lifeboats/life rafts that one of the relatives was on (you choose) gets lost at sea! (Roll a 1-6, 1-2-3 means everyone is found and lives, 4 means everyone unfortunately dies, and 5-6 means it remains missing and nobody finds out what happens.) The remaining people are on various land until they get the means to reconnect.
  6. The separated surviving family members are lost for a very long time and remain separated for months until they’re able to finally see each other again.

[name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to write any other details after this if you want, I know this is probably one of my crazier games, and hope there was (at least some) good luck!

[name_m]Five[/name_m] years later, they started to take in orphans and raise them together, eventually successfully raising more than 20 children to adulthood over the years, who would have otherwise died as children. The two of them fell into a relationship with each other, but were forced to hide it from everyone, including their children, due to the attitudes of the late 1800’s. They died within a year of each other, more than 50 years later, best friends turned-lovers, pushed together by tragedy.

DAY 1
It’s a lovely, exciting day embarking on the ship. Everyone settles in nicely. [name_m]Ned[/name_m] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] starts to feel sick, but it’s just seasickness on the rough waters.

DAY 2
The ship reaches the Atlantic and immediately strikes disaster! SHIPWRECK!! The ship crew have sounded the alarm and they are prioritising all children.

Prioritised:

  1. [name_u]Holly[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m], aged 5: survived. [name_u]Holly[/name_u] was one of the first to reach the lifeboats.
  2. [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] “Peggy” [name_m]Brown[/name_m], aged 5: survived. She clung closely to her sisters and got onto the same lifeboat.
  3. [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m], aged 5: survived. [name_f]Mary[/name_f] got onto the lifeboats with her sisters as quickly as possible.
  4. [name_u]Ivy[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m], aged 3: survived. [name_u]Ivy[/name_u] clung closely to her sisters and all four of them made it into the same lifeboat.
  5. [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_u]David[/name_u] [name_m]Samson[/name_m] Crawley, aged 2: survived. [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] was taken to the nearest lifeboat along his cousins and survived.
  6. [name_m]Lucien[/name_m] [name_u]George[/name_u] Fortescue, aged 12: survived. [name_m]Lucien[/name_m] loaded his younger cousins into the lifeboat but could not join them as the boat was too full. He got lost in the crowds and almost died but was found by a crew member who worked to save his life.
  7. [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] “Flossie” Wiltshire, aged 3: survived. [name_f]Flossie[/name_f] almost missed the lifeboat that she was prioritised for but, thanks to her cousin Lucien’s quick thinking, managed to get there in time.

[name_u]Day[/name_u] 2: Shipwreck! There is no priority for who gets saved.

[name_m]Paul[/name_m] had a life raft but boarded it safely and survived.
[name_f]Linda[/name_f] was one of the last to make it on the life raft but she survived.
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f] was not originally going to survive but did when a ship member sacrificed their life to save hers.
[name_u]Lauren[/name_u] tried to swim as fast as she could, but being only seven years old she was not strong enough of a swimmer. She did not make it.
[name_m]Steven[/name_m] attempted to jump off the boat too early onto a life raft but fell to his death from the height.
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] was one of the last to make it on the life raft with his baby daughter [name_f]Emma[/name_f].


The separated surviving family members are lost for a very long time and remain separated for months until they’re able to finally see each other again.

what happened…
— a young couple planned a trip for their family and the families of their siblings
— when the ship wrecked on the fourth day, staff prioritized getting women and children to lifeboats
— the [name_u]Ivory[/name_u], [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u], and [name_u]Reed[/name_u] families didn’t make it out without casualties

the first three days on the ship:

day one —
the kids all enjoy exploring the ship but none more than wesley and leo, the boys can’t get enough of the taking in how the vessel operates, sneaking into restricted areas, and watching the waves for sea creatures

day two —
young daisy with her clever mind has grown a bit concerned… she’s started to notice more and more intense rocking with the waves and has spotted small leaks springing up in the lower decks while exploring with her cousins. the adults don’t seem concerned so… i’m sure it’s nothing to worry about

day three —
spending time with family has been wonderful, especially for charlie and lucy who have grown even closer while aboard

several family members were separated from their parents or children:

— [name_m]Wes[/name_m], [name_u]Ollie[/name_u], and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] were alone on a lifeboat with strangers after their mother stayed behind to give her children the last three spots on the lifeboat.
— [name_u]James[/name_u] was separated from his family given that he was not prioritized and only just managed to find a life raft.
— [name_f]Lula[/name_f] got trampled in the chaos and (although lucky to have been saved by staff) was separated from her children.
— [name_u]Leo[/name_u] was separated from his sister, [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], just before she met up with their aunt and cousin and, despite surviving, was quite frightened to be alone.

the island:

— while most of the lifeboats were picked up by nearby ships and brought to safety, others were less lucky and were forced to take refuge on an island near the wreck.
— thankfully, [name_u]Leo[/name_u] was reunited with his father [name_u]James[/name_u] after their lifeboats were both rescued by one of those ships.
— [name_u]Wesley[/name_u] and his little sisters weren’t so lucky. the now-orphaned [name_u]Ivory[/name_u] siblings were aboard a lifeboat that ended up finding shore at a nearby island. somehow, the kids were lucky enough to find that their Aunt Lula’s boat had also landed on the shore and they felt relieved to no longer be alone.

the reunion:

— eventually, the [name_u]Ivory[/name_u] orphans were saved along with all the rest of the survivors on the island. unfortunately, their aunt was one of the handful to succumb to the elements before being rescued – likely due to distributing most of her resources to the children combined with her injury from the wreck.
— after the rescue on the island, the children were reunited with the rest of their family. their Aunt [name_f]Emily[/name_f], cousin [name_f]Clara[/name_f], and cousin [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] had reunited with the Reeds shortly after the wreck with the majority of the survivors. it took some time for their Uncle [name_u]James[/name_u] and cousin Leo’s rescuing ship to be tracked down but they were reunited just days prior to the island survivors being saved.

life after the wreck:

— following the shipwreck, [name_u]James[/name_u] took in his late brother’s children as he and his own children mourned the loss of their wife and mother, [name_f]Lula[/name_f].
— [name_f]Emily[/name_f] made sure to keep her late husband’s memory alive for herself and her daughter Clara; staying active in the lives of [name_u]James[/name_u] and her nieces and nephews as well as her late sister-in-law’s extended family.
— [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] struggled with the loss of both her sister and her husband but was able to overcome the trauma to make a good life for her sons. She and her boys often visit their cousins while she and the adults reminisce about their lost loved ones.
— in all, the family was left with many emotional (and likely physical) scars from the traumatic shipwreck. but by relying on one another, they were able to move forward with their lives.
