This collection of five solo RPGs/LARPs, a notebook, daily journal and 2025 wall calendar are made to be played when out and about. They help you observe the world around you slightly differently and then leave space for you to draw your own conclusions.
Each year they refocused their efforts on a new object of suspicion:
1924 Revolution (March) — Seek out revolutionary animals
1925 Leviathan (June) — Spot flying creatures in the clouds
1926 Communication (August) — Decode the language of plants
1927 Tempus (October) — Uncover pools of liquid time
1928 Colossus (November) — Find traces of giants in the landscape
To capture their observations they used this series of A6-sized workbooks with each including:
~10 pages detailing agent objectives, instructions and other information
~60 structured pages for noting observations, maps, notes & sketches
A dowsing board on the back cover
Agents are encouraged to note down their observations, use the dowsing board to help ascertain a particular aspect of their observation — eg the motive for an animals suspicious activity — and draw their own conclusions.
Supplementary materials inculde:
Notebook (July) — Create your own studies
Calibration Record (August) — Track your emotions and activities
2025 Wall Calendar (October) — Follow the moon cycle through the year
All Agents are also furnished with:
An identification card
Suitable propaganda to enlist other observant Agents
A 'Field Agent' button badge (physical only)
