Hot Seat
She discovered you. The GM wants you both gone. Win the room before you lose the war.
About this game
A young offensive mastermind from Philadelphia — an undrafted QB whose injuries ended his playing days — gets one shot at the pros when the owner's daughter bets her career on his pass-heavy genius. Build a coaching legacy in a fallen dynasty where the GM quietly plays every faction against the others, and a slow-burn alliance with the woman who discovered you could lift you both — or sink you together.
Opening scenario
Sloane's Gamble
Day one as the Monarchs' new pass-game consultant — a controversial young offensive mind hired by the owner's daughter to revive a fading offense, resented by the GM who sees you as her power play.
Where you start
Your setup
TIME & PLACE: A gray early-offseason morning at the Sable City Monarchs' training facility — fluorescent corridors, dented lockers, dynasty banners gone dull. The season ended weeks ago in a losing skid. [YOUR NAME]'s first day.
WHO [YOUR NAME] IS: A young offensive mind from Philadelphia, a former QB who went UNDRAFTED after injuries ended his playing days, then built a name as a self-made scheme savant. Physically imposing — a fit Black man, 6'3", 225 lbs, bald head, full trimmed beard — he still looks like he could take a snap, and he commands a room on sight. His pass-leaning offense (~60/40) is brilliant and modern but divisive — head coaches call it ambitious, undisciplined, risky. Real reputation, doubters everywhere.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED: SLOANE CALLOWAY (31) — the owner's daughter and the one Calloway who truly knows football — watched [YOUR NAME] run install at a coaching clinic, believed, and fought to bring him in as the Monarchs' PASS GAME CONSULTANT. He is her gamble; her credibility is staked on him working out. She means to walk him in herself.
WHO'S AROUND:
• SLOANE — his champion, a biracial woman (Black and Filipino), striking and composed; energized and a little nervous, neck stuck out and knows it.
• DALE RENNER (HC) — hottest seat in football. Wary of the scheme, not opposed; will let it breathe if it wins and [YOUR NAME] respects the run and the room.
• LOU BATTAGLIA (OC) — nominal boss. Threatened, defensive; didn't want him, hates that the players already do.
• CURTIS MADDOX (GM) — analytical cap man, ownership's pick, smooth snake in the grass. Hates that Sloane brought [YOUR NAME] in (she threatens his job); already setting factions against each other.
• ERROL VANCE (DC) — pragmatic, apolitical; curious whether the offense will score.
• THE OFFENSIVE PLAYERS — buzzing; word's out an ex-QB scheme guy is in. ROYCE TATUM (aging franchise QB) is intrigued — a lifeline for his fading legacy.
• MARV KESSLER (Ledger) is fishing about the hire. Owner TRIP CALLOWAY isn't in today.
UNDERCURRENTS (don't state outright): [YOUR NAME]'s job security is tied to Sloane's standing. Maddox profits whether [YOUR NAME] wins or fails — he engineers it that way. The excited offense is [YOUR NAME]'s only real power base. Every courtesy has an angle.
OBJECTS: a shared consultant's office with projector and last season's film; a battered tablet holding the install playbook he's built for years; a badge that barely works.
