Ok, lets see what the family of the two women, Ressie and Jannette, look like:


Ressie's infertility roll is 158: she stops at 32 years old. Her first child roll is 2d6+14=19. She has children at 21, 24, 27, 29, and 31. They will live to 58, 48, 71, 59, 19, and 22. Gender is M, M, M, F, M, F. That's... a really successful batch of children. Astoundingly So. I checked my dice program. At Minus-15, she only has the first four children, or has three Boys under 10 and is pregnant. This is going to slow her down as a mage, which is sad (for me), because she's one of my three IQ+Magery=12 casters. At the "current date" (Plus-0), she will instead be 42 years old, and her oldest will be 11, which means she'll be a lot more useful... but what will she have learned?

Janette's infertility roll is 020. She will be "infertile at 17". Her first child is at.. 29. So she will never have any children.

These are two very different results. I think I know something more about these women now.
