Field Agent Handbook: 1924 Revolution

We suspect the animal kingdom of plotting a secret revolution.

Our mission in the Ætherial Corporation’s Observancy Department is to spot signs of suspicious activity, use pendulum dowsing to divine their motives & log our observations.

Your A6-sized handbook includes:

• 10 pages of instruction, advice and information with…
  • Title page with space for your name and date issued
  • Letter from the Director
  • Equipment required (pencil & key on a string)
  • Instruction on how to fill out your handbook
  • Instruction on how to use your pendulum
  • Blank map with grid references
  • Table of potential signs of revolutionary activity
  • List of weather types and symbols for notation
  • Instruction on where to send your handbook
• 64 blank structured pages for observations, notes and sketches
• A dowsing board on the back cover

Once complete, you can send it to Head Office to be signed by the Director & stamped to chart your rise through the four ranks from Operative to Field Agent (Second & First Class) to Special Agent. 

We invite YOU to join the Ætherial Corporation’s most covert operation as a highly trained Field Agent.  

This is an always-on solo RPG/LARP to play with when out and about. It’s written as an in-world artefact from the 1920s, made for you to note your observations about the world around you through a lens of suspicion. 

Includes ink-friendly monochrome version!
