It’s Friday!
Another busy week has come and gone. I checked my clock and am getting this in just under the wire. Woosh. Where’s the week gone right? Right? I spent today making some file corrections, proofing, and reading through some new materials (which I am processing to use in some upcoming work). Alas, I cannot talk about the secret stuff yet. It’s just one of those things, but I’m happy to report there is a lot more stuff coming in the pipeline. Next week, I’ll be tearing through some more Ravaged Earth, taking a run at Shaintar preliminary layout 1, and [...]

The Dirt
Today, I did some layout work for Zero Sum Reports for Agents of Oblivion. Maybe you guys can get Ed to talk about those? At any rate, it took awhile to get the look and feel to integrate with the existing Agents line and a bit longer to get the organizational structure down. Now, it’s back on Ed’s virtual plate. Since so much of my time was devoured doing that and some other business matters. Let’s see, I also spoke with Eric Avedissian about the status of his Ravaged Earth review 1 and spoke with Sean Patrick Fannon about the status [...]
Today has been yet another harrowing day. I had to revisit the index of Agents of Oblivion (for what I hope is the final time) and make some small corrections. Then I began the layout of Ravaged Earth: Revised Second Edition. It was a bit of a pain to set up a whole new template (okay, to tweak one I had started with last year for the project) as I haven’t needed to go through that process in awhile. Perhaps, I was just grouchy. Ever wake up to discover you’re in a bad mood for no particular reason? I had [...]

Missive #17: The First Mission for Roma Bellica CampaignSo it’s time for the 1st mission of our Roma Bellico campaign. I decided to use the Generator to see how the campaign would develop. I have to say I’m very pleased with the results. I generated a Transportation Mission. The Target is a political figure. The starting Location is an Urban Center, and the final destination is a Corporate Office. I decided to set the mission in Rome as I wanted the first mission to remain in the main city of operations. I rolled two plot types to combine and got Metamorphosis and Rescue. That may take some work, [...]
Director’s Dead DropsHello Director’s. Whenever I find cool things to share with our fans I’m going to issue a Dead Drop! I wanted to share a FANtastic website dedicated to the spy genre by a fellow who goes by the code name Trigger. It can be found at http://www.theagencystar.com I I’ve joined and see lots of great potential, lots of great ideas for characters, npcs, organizations, plots you name it. To make it even better, Trigger has been adding some non-official Agents of Oblivion Director’s aids for download, such as Edge/Hindrance quick reference cards, a character sheet, and resource management cards. He [...]
Missive #16: Preparing to Play Roma BellicaWelcome back Directors. In Missive 15 we started a new campaign called Roma Bellico (Roman War). We also created the Cell’s controller, an interesting veteran agent named Nora Valente, the owner/operator of a rare and unusual bookstore in a medieval district of Rome known as the Trastevere. We know Nora is a tough, no nonsense agent who has seen her share of missions for Oblivion. At some point she was exposed to something that left her anemic, but allows her to become ethereal once per day for a limited time. As the controller of the cell, she will only [...]
