Field Agent Handbook: 1925 Leviathan
We suspect giant beasts roam the clouds, just out of sight.
Our mission in the Ætherial Corporation’s Observancy Department is to observe the clouds, look for unusual shadows & formations, and attempt to discern the activity and anatomy of these sky-bound leviathan.
Your A6-sized handbook includes:
- 16 pages of instruction, advice and information with…
- Title page with space for your name and date issued
- Letter from the Director
- Equipment required (coloured pencils & key on a string)
- Instruction on how to fill out your handbook
- Instruction on how to use your pendulum
- Methods to estimate distance to creature
- List of creature designations
- Table to identify the Beaufort Number for the wind
- Methods to find North
- Illustrated chart with types of clouds and symbols for notation
- Suggestion on how to sketch your observations

- Illustrated chart of suspected anatomical features
- List of weather types and symbols for notation
- Instruction on where to send your handbook
- 58 blank structured pages for observations, notes and sketches

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.
