A link giving a brief character background for Dr. David Allen can be viewed here.
Dr. David Allen is in his second year as an associate professor of Theology at St. Xavier College. He currently does not have an active investigation into any psychic phenomenon, and it has been some time since he has had any of his own experiences. A rough draft is in the making of a book he'd like to publish about psychic phenomenon and faith, but he'd also like to continue his research for publishing academic content to help him with his seeking of tenure. It's the beginning of a new school semester, September 1981, and he's teaching five classes for this semester.
Keeping in the random spirit of sandbox play, I'll generate a random event to get the first scene started. Rolling on the Random Event Focus Table, I get an 82: PC Positive. Rolling on Action 1 & Action 2 of the Meaning Tables: Actions, I get Increase / Reassurance.
The First Scene opens with David making his way to Dean Pritchert's office in between classes for an impromptu meeting about how he can secure tenure in an expedited manner.
A roll on the Fate Chart gives a No to whether the dean is in his office.
Slightly disappointed, David makes his way back to his classroom to get ready to teach another class. He's feeling rather anxious about making sure he is doing everything he can to make tenure early so that he can have more freedom to pursue "extra-curricular" activities in the form of psychic phenomenon research.
A meeting with the dean was really all I envisioned after setting up the first scene. I think I'll close it and move towards Scene 2. Following is the updated Adventure Lists w/ the repeated items that were part of the First Scene. David was not in control of the First Scene so Current Chaos Factor is now 6.
