This week's update: 1.14 Seeking the Secrets

Edit: wow, it's that time again. A new Friday.

1.15 Among Other Embarrassments

Hello, I've decided to try and finish a random legacy again. Enjoy

Hadley Random Legacy: Gen 1, Chapter 1

Hadley Random Legacy: Gen 1, Chapter 2

Always happy to see more legacies!

Here's my update for this week: 1.16 She's Been Scheming

So happy to see a new blog here, welcome Hadley's! Though you seem a bit familiar, have you posted here before? :>

Okay okay maybe I'm overhyping this here, but if I lived Jyoti's life out for a single weekend I might wake up thinking that nothing is real. She's over halfway through young adulthood and I'm ready to give her her retirement haha. It's just interesting to think about. I'm glad I'm a real human and all, and not a simulation.

Sparrows Random Legacy Challenge 2.38 Doesn't Seem Real

This week's update: 1.17 More Than Friends

This story arc is going some disturbing places, sorry.

Becky, nice development lately! Why do I feel like we're going to see a darker side to Randi soon...?

The Sparrows have an update, I know I said biweekly, and this is one week, but nobody says I can't post now...
Sparrows RLC: 2.39 Watch it Burn
Sparrows had a 100 post anniversary last time, but I have no idea how to celebrate something like that. Make everyone live in a park for a week?

Huge congrats on 100 chapters, Frogs!

Hmm... I wonder how many I have published collectively, across all my blogs...

My update this week: 1.18 Castle or Something

And another: 1.19 Too Many Windows

Edit: installment 2.1 is now posted as well. Content warning for violence and mind control.

Thank you Becky!
Sparrows are back before the New Year! Hope everyone ate something delicious and is out getting stuff they don't need until next year in after Christmas sales.

Meanwhile, Andrea shows up, does something useful for once, and we stop beating around the bush. Full disclosure, I've never tried to a beat a bush in the first place.
Sparrows RLC 2.40 Ruin the Friendship

Yes, I've posted at least one challenge here before, but I think it's been years at this point. I'm really bad when it comes to actually finishing challenges. I'm definitely going to try and stick to this one though lol

Update: Hadleys Gen 1 Chapter 5

Happy new year, RLC simmers! I'm so happy the challenge continues into 2026, and grateful to still have company! Cheers!

I have kept updating weekly...

2.1 Just Ask Her

2.2 Tells No Tales

2.3 To Fix Everything

I knew Randy had it in him! Or well, that he was capable of the right kind of madness...

The Sparrows are doin more stuff; Sparrows RLC 2.41 Someone Worth Impressing Meeting more family members, and all that. :D

It's a bit later than I had hoped, but the Sparrows have an update. Making a new post to update the thread. Hope all are well!

Sparrows RLC 2.42 Awkward Homecoming

Hi everyone! I'm a long-time Random Legacy Challenge player and I've created a Windows desktop app to make rolling generations easier. Instead of manually rolling dice or using random tables, the app lets you configure your options and roll all your generation rules at once — or reroll individual categories as needed.

While there is an existing online roller available, one thing that always frustrated me was the lack of custom career support. My app fills that gap — you can add your own custom careers complete with names and descriptions, and they'll be included in your rolls right alongside the standard careers!

This app is for the Revised Rules. I plan on making one for the Classic Rules next.

Features include:

• Roll all generation categories at once or reroll individually
• Supports all standard RLC categories: Family Structure, Number of Children, Careers, Generation Goals, and Miscellaneous Fun
• Custom career support — add, edit, and remove your own careers with names and descriptions, fully integrated into rolls
• Optional Pet and Ten Generation goal rolls
• Save and load your checkbox selections between sessions
• Copy your generation rolls to the clipboard
• Built-in rules reference with search functionality

You can download it from my GitHub page here: https://github.com/RadicalChick/Ran...leases/tag/v1.0

I'd love feedback from fellow RLC players — especially if anything doesn't match the current revised rules or if there are features you'd like to see added. This is a v1.0 release so I'm very open to suggestions! (I forgot to make it public when I posted it. That is now fixed.)

Hello nice to meet you and your app sounds awesome- but I got a 404 on it. I'd love to be able to add custom careers to a roller though, we've had the same one online for aboooout a decade, and I confess I roll that then add my own rolls afterwards as I want more weight on certain jobs (for example if I have store or custom content that could work for income I may separate them out or have overlap).

Meanwhile, the Sparrows have an update!
Sparrows RLC: 2.43 Christen the House

Sorry about that. I apparently forgot to make it public. It is now fixed. Please try it again. I really would love your feedback on it.

Well this is cool! I downloaded it to give it a spin and it seems to work alright, though I have not tested extensively yet.

Thank you for your work! I'm sure anyone with custom careers will be absolutely delighted with this. <3

May I add a link to it on the rules blog?

(To those following my blog, I'm sorry updates have stalled. I have been ill. Don't worry, I will get better eventually.)

Thanks for checking it out. Yes, please add it. I am working on an app for the Classic Rules with custom careers. I will post here when it is ready for testing. If anyone notices any issues, please let me know!

Cool, I added the link to our roller apps post on the challenge blog, so it can be found easily (I hope).

Thanks! Hope you get well soon!

something new for me to try !

Hi everyone! I just created a Windows desktop app for rolling generations using the classic rules (January 2011). Instead of manually rolling dice or using random tables, the app lets you configure your options and roll all your generation rules at once — or reroll individual categories as needed.

While there is an existing online roller available, one thing that always frustrated me was the lack of custom career support. My app fills that gap — you can add your own custom careers with names, descriptions, and career types (Standard, Non-Standard, Profession, or Secondary Only), and they'll be included in your rolls right alongside the built-in careers!

Features include:

• Roll all generation categories at once or reroll individually
• Supports all standard RLC categories: Family Structure, Number of Children, Careers, Generation Goals, and Miscellaneous Fun
• Custom career support — add, edit, and remove your own careers, fully integrated into rolls with correct weighting
• Classic rules weighted probabilities (Single Parent 10x, Couple 11x, etc.)
• Optional extras from the blog — Generation Goals (Redemption Arc, Self-Destructive, Self Improvement) and Misc Fun (Grew Out of It, They Mean Well, Philanthropy, Memoirs)
• Optional Pet Goal roll — can be included in Roll All results
• Optional Ten Generation goal rolls
• Expansion pack filtering — uncheck expansions you don't own to exclude their careers
• Conflict detection for incompatible roll combinations
• Save and load your selections between sessions
• Copy your generation rolls to the clipboard
• Built-in rules reference

Download: GitHub Releases Page

Requirements: Windows 7 or later, .NET Framework 4.7.2 (download here if needed). No installation required — just extract and run.

I also have a revised rules version (May 2018) available separately if you prefer those rules.

I'd love feedback from fellow RLC players — especially if anything doesn't match the classic rules or if there are features you'd like to see added. This is a v1.0 release so I'm very open to suggestions!

That sounds amazing! I wish I had time to play right now, I miss the challenge and all of you. <3

Hear, hear! My kid's on spring break this week so I hope to be able to update soon, it's been a slog lately but so much progress is being made. Really looking forward to having time to dive into the program, too.
