Hi! I’m putting a pause on my second round of States CAF to bring you games 110% inspired by @bisket / @lilybell8490 because I love their games so so much.
Dice: D&D Dice Roller | RGB Studios (this is the one I’ve found most like the other two that a lot of the veteran nameberry users used to list
)
In this game, you will be naming the English Department professors at Clearwater-Darwin College. There are 8 full-time professors-
2 teach Intro to English Studies
2 teach Intro to Professional Writing
1 teaches Public Speaking & Professional Communication
1 teaches American Literature & Post Colonial Literature
1 teaches British Literature & The Art of Poetry
1 teaches History of Theater & American Drama & Theater
All Genders: Odd-Male, Even-Female. You can choose if you’d like a professor/their SO/their descendants to be non-binary
Age: Roll 50 sided die and add 25 to that number
