Field Agent Handbook (Pocket Edition): Observancy Department, 1924
A downloadable game
As you are aware, we suspect the animal kingdom of plotting a revolution & you are here to help us understand their devices.
Our mission in the Observancy Department is to spot any such behaviour or signs of suspicious activity, note them down, draw our conclusions, and pass them back to Head Office for processing.

This is a solo RPG to be played when out and about (or inside with your pet & visiting animals).
Get your very own field agent handbook to note down any strange and unusual animal behaviour, be it by bugs, birds or beasts.
Use the Ætherial Corporation’s standard issue pendulum (a key on a string) & the incorporated dowsing board to root out suspicious activity & identify their devious motivations.
The game comes in two formats for your observatory pleasure, one tri-fold & one pocketmod. Both PDFs are A4 in size & three pages in length:
- Print the first two PDF pages back-to-back to make your handbook
- Print the third to increase the size of your book once it’s full

Finally, this handbook was inspired by two zine games:
- The (Un)Naturalist by Donnie Dynamo (for seeking out unusual animal activity), and
- Wreck this Deck by Becky Annison (for blurring the lines of reality)
And if you like your RPGs outdoors and with things on string then you might also want to check out Conkerers by Cat Elm.

This is so interesting! I love the idea of using the Key as a dowsing rod!
