I’ve done quite a few generation CAFs now and have decided to do my own. I have found this I would like to changes, CAFs to take inspiration from, etc. A big thank you to all the amazing creators I have got inspiration from! This will run from 1890 through to 2020. You will need a dice roller. I recommend this one; rolladie.net. If you are like me, I like to create a family tree when I do CAFs. I recommend http://familyecho.com/. No login is required to do it once but if you are going to take longer than 1 day to do the CAF (especially if you’re doing them as I upload them ), like I do, then a login is required to save it. It is free. Multiple families/family trees can be created.
We are currently in the year 1920. In the last decade, WW1 took place.
Add 10 years to everyone’s age. Roll a D100 die. For men aged 18 to 40, if it’s 70 or above, they have died. For everyone else, if they are aged 0 to 54, if it’s 90 or above, they have died. If they are aged 55+ and the die rolls 50 +, they have died.
Anyone who was previously engaged, they are now married. If they were previously dating, they are now engaged. Divorce is not yet legal.
For single people aged 18 or older, roll a D6 die for their relationship status;
