10	''Red Rover'' is a [[PlayByPostGames Play-by-post game]] still in its early stages of gameplay, found [[http://wecallrussellover.tumblr.com/tagged/he-is-not-calling-you-yet/chrono here]]. It is a retelling of its original iteration, ''[[Roleplay/WhatTimeIsItMrWolf What Time Is It, Mr Wolf?]]''.

12	You start as Russell Edgley, who has just been hired by landlord and dean Jack Royce. You're here to teach exceptional and troubled children, working for room and board as well as a paycheck. However, the place is in the middle of nowhere, [[ItsQuietTooQuiet deathly quiet]], and it seems strangely devoid of children.
