Triangle Agency
Triangle Agency places you on the payroll of a paranormal corporation that treats reality-bending events like ticket numbers. You investigate, contain, and occasionally negotiate with the impossible, while forms, memos, and policies all shape the narrative. People appreciate how it blends sharp mystery-solving with surreal office satire and a thread of psychological horror, creating memorable choices and consequences.
A session feels like a brisk briefing, tense fieldwork, and a debrief where the paperwork might be scarier than the monster. It suits beginners who want clear goals and veterans who enjoy inventive problem-solving. Ideal for adults, small parties, or team events that appreciate clever puzzles and quirky humour.

How to play Triangle Agency
Play unfolds in scenes. The Game Master sets the scene, establishes the stakes, and asks what you wish to do. You describe your approach, utilise abilities or equipment, and roll dice to determine how successfully you execute your plan. Outcomes often present choices, trade-offs, or repercussions that affect the case and the company’s policies. Paranormal abilities can be advantageous, but they also bring complications that may escalate the anomaly or attract corporate scrutiny.
You create a character who combines training, a few daring tricks, and a healthy respect for HR. The Game Master provides the briefing, NPCs, forms, or prompts that emphasise the bureaucracy, along with safety tools for adult themes. In a one-shot, you tackle a single anomaly leading to a swift resolution. In a campaign, you pursue interconnected cases, promotions, and lasting impacts for your team and the city. Inquire about online play options or in-person props such as handouts and “real” paperwork.




Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know the rules before we start playing?
There’s no need to read the book. A professional Game Master will guide you through the basics during the opening briefing. You will learn how to declare actions, roll dice, interpret outcomes, and manage risks associated with paranormal abilities and corporate policy. Most groups feel at ease after the first scene. If you’d like a head start, your GM can provide pre-generated agents and quick rules references. The emphasis is on making smart choices and understanding consequences, rather than memorising mechanics.
How frightening is Triangle Agency? Can you adjust the tone?
Triangle Agency is aimed at adults. Expect tension, unsettling imagery, and satirical workplace pressure. Your group should establish boundaries before play, and the GM will utilise standard consent and safety tools. The tone is adaptable, ranging from dry dark comedy to slow-burn psychological horror. Inform the GM of your preferred tone. You can also select someone whose style aligns with the atmosphere you desire. Browse playstyle profiles here: GM playstyles.
How does this differ from D&D or Pathfinder?
This is not heroic fantasy. You take on the role of modern investigators, balancing field decisions with company rules and oversight. Progress is achieved through investigation, containment, and negotiation, rather than dungeon crawls or treasure hunting. Combat is possible but comes at a high cost, making many encounters feel like puzzles with moving parts and time constraints. Advancement involves promotions, clearances, and new complications instead of magical items. If you enjoy solving mysteries, navigating risky trade-offs, and appreciating gallows humour, this system offers a better blend than D&D or Pathfinder.
What characters do we play, and how quickly can we create them?
You are corporate agents with specific training, a role within the team, equipment, and a few risky tricks that flirt with the paranormal. Character creation is quick and guided at the table. For one-shots, you can use pre-generated sheets or create characters in about 10 to 15 minutes. For a campaign, you will develop promotions, personal goals, and lasting consequences from cases. Records such as commendations and write-ups are important and can influence future operations.
What does a session actually involve?
A typical game begins with a case file that outlines objectives, constraints, and risks. On site, you survey locations, question individuals, test theories, and devise creative containment plans. The dice determine how smoothly things proceed and what costs or consequences arise. You conclude with reporting and decisions that impact reputation, budget, and the next case. The GM ensures the game flows while allowing you to plan, improvise, and relish the unusual dynamics between field agents and compliance.
What group size and session length are most effective?
Triangle Agency works best with 3 or 4 players, and accommodates 2 to 5. Sessions typically last 3 to 4 hours, providing ample time to investigate, confront the anomaly, and debrief without feeling rushed. With five players, the GM may need to streamline scenes to ensure balanced spotlight time. Duos can also be effective, often tackling tighter, spookier cases. One-shots are designed to fit within a single session, whereas campaigns follow interconnected cases over multiple evenings.
Can we play online with the unusual forms and handouts?
Yes. It works well over video. A shared tabletop or document manages sheets, dice, clocks, and handouts. Briefings, memos, and forms are straightforward as PDFs or fillable files, and the GM will take care of distribution. If you prefer physical props, the GM can also bring printed case files and tags.
