Heheh. Some of the randomized families were like that, and I probably made a few small adjustments to make it make sense in some cases, but not many. And obviously, I ignored it for the alien children.

I can't take credit for that aging idea. I saw Madame Ugly do it. It's a great idea. I agree with you about how unfair it is that they don't allow elder parents. It's not like it's not possible. It might have to do with the fact that they don't allow the elders to have decent jobs (though I suppose the fact that they don't HAVE to retire makes up for it).

Thanks. I'll do a story-type post about it at some point. It'll be a different style than Strangetown, and I'll probably play around with it a bit more.
