Ok, the rules are pretty simple, I'll be providing two or more options, and you follow the "adventure" that suits you best. Each "adventure" will have it's own set of naming rules for that round. Stories are optional, but always enjoyed and encouraged :) Ages are optional, and you keep track of them yourself. I will not be killing off any family members in this game, but you may chose to do so yourself. I'll provide links to each previous round, so you can quickly find your family. You can chose to sign up and join at any time, just work your way to the current round.

Note: Just because your chose Adventure # in one round doesn't mean that you are stuck with that # for every other round. Each round you can chose your own adventure (hence, the name).

DC = Darling Child, or a first generation child. All other children are second generation.

---

If you wish, you may have a couple split/divorce in any round. If they divorce in round 6, they can remarry in the next spouse round.

---

This is the third of 5 "Spouse" rounds. A "Spouse" can be a husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, or fiancé/fiancée. A "Spouse" doesn't have to be of the opposite gender. The choices are up to you.

---

After each spouse round there will be at least one child round. You may chose to have as many children marry as there are adventures, or as few as 0. Each child (twins/triplets being the exception) must use a different adventure to get married in. Twins/triplets may use the same adventure to get married in, or you may chose to split them up.

Please add 1 to 5 years to the ages of your current family

Adventure 1:
Your DC met a quirky guy/gal at the local park. When they ran into each other again while your DC was out on a date, sparks starting flying (in a good way). Unfortunately for the date, it quickly became a party of 3... and then a party of 2 when the date went home annoyed. They have been having fun ever since.
-- Spouse: ??? "_"____ "_"____ (24)
His/her FN is 3 letters long, and his/her MN starts with the middle letter of his FN. His/her surname starts with the final letter of his FN. (example: Bob Oliver Bookings or Mae Alexandra Elliot) - You may decided to use a 4 letter FN and 2 MNs if you prefer.

Adventure 2:
Your DC has met a jock (jock-ette?)! Your DC's spouse is going through college on a sports scholarship and is already being approached by the "big leagues". It looks likely that the Spouse will be one of the few and make it big. Luckily for your DC, the only thing his/her spouse loves more then their sport is your DC.
-- Spouse: _____ _____ _____ (20)
His/her FN/MN comes from the following page: http://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/us.php. His/her FN is listed under "Top Falls", "Most Volatile", or "Biggest Flash-in-the-Pans". His/her MN is listed under "Most Consistently Popular" or "Most Steady". His/her surname is from the following page: http://surnames.behindthename.com/top/lists/100sws2005.php.

Adventure 3:
Your DC met a trust-fund only child who was "slumming it". The two hit it off, and for the longest time the Spouse didn't tell about his/her family or his/her money for fear of scaring off the DC. However, when things became serious the truth came out. Your DC was shocked, but things are slowly moving forward. The Spouse's family is unsure of your DC or your family... and your DC is unsure about how s/he and his/her family would fit in with the Spouse's family... but the Spouse is insistent that s/he loves your DC and the rest is meaningless. Just last night the Spouse offered to be written out of the families money if it would make your DC more comfortable... Things are moving forward :)
-- Spouse: _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ (30)
His/her FN can be found on the following page: http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/advice/middle.html. His/her MN1 is filler, MN2 is a classic that has fallen from grace/style, and MN3 was uber-popular in the 70's. His/her surname is also used as a FN.
