TEXT: At The Crossroads of Sanctuary & Salvation
  Background
  It’s 1947 and Sanctuary is the picture perfect model 
  for small town living in the American South.  Everyone 
  knows each other’s names, goes to church on Sunday, and 
  knows that Bascomb’s Diner has been serving the best grits 
  for over thirty years.  The mayor will tell you they call it 
  Sanctuary because folks know how to keep their problems 
  behind closed doors; when trouble starts they have the 
  decency to mind their own business. All of that changed 
  one humid summer day when a mysterious traveling 
  salesman named Quentin Drake came to town. With his 
  felt hat, crisp wool suit and shiny leather shoes, everyone 
  knows a perfect gentleman when they see one. And while it 
  may not come out of that fancy looking case he carries, he 
  always has what you need. Don’t worry about the cost; you 
  needn’t always pay in cash.
  An Annalise Guided Play Scenario
   
   
  Using This Scenario
  T
  his Guided Play Scenario is designed 
  for one-shot, introductory, and 
  convention play of Annalise. It provides 
  a setting, a situation, characters and 
  some of the surrounding fiction (some 
  NPCs, Claims, and so forth). It is 
  assumed that the player facilitating the 
  scenario be familiar with the rules of the 
  game. A copy of Annalise is required for 
  play of this Guided Play Scenario.
   
   
  To Play:
  E
  xplain the premise of Annalise and 
  present the Background of this 
  scenario. Go over the four characters.
  E
  ach player chooses one character 
  and fills out their info on a character 
  sheet. The facilitator leads the group 
  through generating Secrets (see sidebar 
  on the next page). Each player writes 
  down and places 2 Coins on each of their 
  two Claims.
  I
  f a player wishes to start the first turn, 
  they should do so. Absent a volunteer 
  it is recommended to start with the The 
  Newbie and go clockwise around the 
  table from there. Some Key Scenes are 
  provided for inspiration.
  F
  or the purposes of this scenario, once 
  the nature of the Vampire has been 
  determined, the game should transition 
  immediately to the Confrontation phase.

  ave fun!
  The Cast
  Jenny Stevens
  Fifteen year old, Jenny Stevens keeps mostly to herself 
  and spends most of her time anywhere but at home.  She is 
  fond of pulp adventure novels but hides them when others 
  are around.  Jenny has a crush on an older boy named 
  Tommy Mather, the captain of the local baseball team.  
  She longs to talk to him but fears that Tommy doesn’t even 
  know she exists.

  Ruby Goodwin
  Ruby Goodwin teaches fourth grade at the local 
  elementary school. She is well liked by her students. Ruby 
  has no family of her own and her students fill the hole left 
  by the lack of her own family. She has no problem speaking 
  her mind when she wants to and in many ways is prideful of 
  her sense of independence. From overhearing her students 
  she knows many things about the community but is not 
  inclined to gossip.
   
  ɶ
  Vulnerability: I am vulnerable because I am over 
  thirty and unmarried.

  The Cast, Cont.
  Colin Ellis
  Colin is seventeen and the eldest of five children. He is 
  boisterous, full of undirected energy and has gotten himself 
  into a few fights. Colin’s father owned and operated the 
  local hardware store until last year when he died of a heart 
  attack. Colin’s mother, Lorna, inherited the business but 
  she is ill equipped to run it effectively and profits have 
  steadily declined. Colin has dreams about getting out of 
  Sanctuary but doesn’t want to abandon his family.
   
  ɶ

  unprepared to be the man my family needs me to be.

  Generating Secrets
  A
  fter reading the Background 
  information but before describing 
  The Cast the facilitator should ask the 
  players to write down two things that 
  either they themselves or someone 
  they know did that they consider to be 
  morally wrong.  Each of these things 
  should be written on separate sheets of 
  paper and placed anonymously in a pile 
  in the center of the table.  After selecting 
  a character each player should pull one 
  of the sheets from the pile.  
  H
  is character has done that thing 
  sometime in their past, and it is that 
  character’s Secret.  It can be tweaked 
  appropriately for the character concept 
  provided.  Finally, the player should 
  derive a single Satellite Trait from this 
  Secret.  This Trait is valued at three as 
  shown in the character descriptions.  The 
  guide should destroy the unused sheets 
  unread.
  T
  his process is adapted from Ron 
  Edward’s cold-war spy project 
  Spione.

  Reverend James Wingfield
  Reverend Wingfield came to Sanctuary only a few years 
  ago. He is generally a well meaning man, genuinely invested 
  in the health of his community. It has been a hard battle 
  getting over the “outsider” stigma. His experience with 
  urban corruption led him to leave the big city for smaller. 
  and hopefully more serene, pastures. He sometimes takes 
  a more hands-on approach than his private, appearance-
  focused parishioners would prefer.
   
  ɶ
  Vulnerability: I am vulnerable because I have lost 
  my faith in God.
   
  ɶ
  Secret: See sidebar.

  Starting Claims: The Holy Bible, the shadows of 
  doubt.

  confesses to a major crime.  During a sermon one of 
  his parishioners denounces him as an outsider and
