You might have heard here or there about the “Bureau Files.” While it’s something that we’ve been working on for a while, I’m here to give a formal introduction today. Bureau Files are a series of small episodic scenarios designed to provide a snapshot of the complications that arise as the cultures of spirits and mortals collide. We designed them to be small enough for one or two sessions. This gives players a chance to try things out and see the kinds of stories that can arise in our setting.

Bureau File stories focus on jobs handed out by the reformed ‘Bureau of Spiritual Affairs’. Charged with maintaining the peace between spirits and people, The Bureau’s responsibilities are overwhelming. We write Bureau Files as if they were segments of an episodic show. Each one has its own conflicts, places and characters. Each Bureau File is completely self contained, even if there might be events and links in common between stories.

Their smaller size gives them a great deal of flexibility, which allows role-players to plug them into almost any story. Because of this, they are also quite friendly to guest writers and it’s easy for our fans take part in their creation.

While we’ve already got a couple written, it’s always nice to know which ones people want to see first. That’s why we have this nifty survey here for you guys to tell us what you want to see. True to the episodes that inspired them, we’re presenting The Bureau Files here as pitches with short summaries. Vote on your favorites now!
