Written as instruction manuals from the 1920s, the Field Agent Handbooks are a series of solo role-playing games for curious note-taking people to go & play outside.

Each A6-sized, 76 page booklet is an in-world artefact, an employee instruction manual & organised notebook from the Ætherial Corporations long-defunct Observancy Department uncovering & capturing suspicious activities such as:

- Animals plotting a revolution
- Colossal animals hiding in the clouds
- Talking plants
- Areas of malleable spacetime
- Giants underground

This set of five books is wrapped with a printed paper band.

Each completed Handbook rises the Agent up through the ranks of the Observancy Department with downloadable stickers to print and stick.

-------------------------------------

1. 1924 Revolution

We believe the animal kingdom are plotting a revolution...

In 1924 the department began suspecting the animal kingdom of plotting a revolution against humankind and set their Agents to seek out suspicious behaviour using their pendulums and logging any unusual activities that they spotted.

Full instruction is provided including:

  • Blank map with grid references
  • Signs of suspicious animal behaviour
  • Blank gridded map
  • Weather chart notation

2. 1925 Leviathan

We believe leviathan are hiding within the clouds, just our of sight...

In 1925 the Department heard reports of gigantic flying creatures and tasked their Field Agents to look up and spot potentially suspicious clouds while employing pendulum-dowsing to determine exactly what the creature is up to.

Full instruction is provided including:

  • Leviathan anatomy
  • Creature designations
  • Wind speed chart
  • Instruction on finding your nearest pole
  • Illustration of clouds and their names
  • Distance estimation techniques
  • Sketching techniques
  • Weather chart notation

3. 1926 Communication

We suspect plants are trying to communicate with us...

Our mission in the Ætherial Corporations Observancy Department is to seek out communicative vegetation, identify with whom they are trying to talk, and attempt to intuit the message they are trying to convey.

Full instruction is provided including:

  • Method to estimate size of plant
  • Plant categorisation
  • Seasonal considerations
  • How to spot talkative plants

4. 1927 Tempus

We believe time is a liquid resource that can be captured...

In 1927 the Department took a bit of a sideways look at spacetime itself and attempted to discover places where they believed time was pooling around objects and could therefore be harvested. Agents were set the task to guess the time whenever they felt the pull with the closer the guess to the actual time the more likely they were in an anomalous area.

Full instruction is provided including:

  • Signs of potential time pools
  • A brief look of relativity
  • A brief look of perception
  • A mindful method to capture a memory
  • Types of time pools
  • Page reference
  • Emergency sundial

5. 1928 Colossus

We believe Giants a sleeping beneath our feet...

In 1928 the Observancy Department reverted back to more tangible matters and tried to spot signs of the Giants that once roamed the earth and now lay in a fossilised crust beneath our feet or could be found in cliffs.

Full instruction is provided including:

  • Signs of Giants
  • A brief look at Earth's geology (includes to-scale illustration)
  • A brief look at Giants
  • A chart covering the history of the Earth and its eras
  • Types of evidence
  • Giant behavioural intent
  • How to draw in isometric perspective
  • Landscape formation notation
  • Fossil identification tips
