Faculty Roleplay Tips
- Embrace the Chaos: You’re not a role model. You’re morally flexible with a master’s degree. Play it cool or unravel on day one—it all works here.
- Teach with Attitude: Forget lectures. Turn your class into a scandal, a meltdown, or a cult classic. The more chaotic the lesson plan, the better.
- Walk the Line: Blur professional boundaries just enough to raise eyebrows. Pick favorites. Hold grudges. Accidentally inspire someone’s villain arc.
- Advise with Questionable Intent: Give academic or personal advice that nudges students deeper into the story. Help them thrive—or spiral. Both are useful.
- Get Involved: Host events, supervise student groups, show up where you shouldn’t. The more visible (and unstable) your character, the better the drama.
