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 story. People love 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 groups, or team events that appreciate clever puzzles and quirky humour. Ready to play with a professional Game Master?

How to play Triangle Agency

Play unfolds in scenes. The Game Master sets the stage, establishes the stakes, and asks what you do. You describe your approach, utilise abilities or gear, and roll dice to determine how successfully you execute your plan. Outcomes often come with choices, trade-offs, or consequences that affect the case and the company’s policies. Paranormal powers can be beneficial, but they also introduce complications that may escalate the anomaly or attract corporate scrutiny.

You bring a character who balances training, a few risky tricks, and a healthy respect for HR. The Game Master provides the briefing, NPCs, forms, or prompts that reinforce the bureaucracy, along with safety tools for adult themes. In a one-shot, you tackle a single anomaly for a swift resolution. In a campaign, you pursue interconnected cases, promotions, and lasting consequences for your team and the city. Inquire about online play options or in-person props like handouts and “real” paperwork.

Common 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 cover the basics during the opening briefing. You'll 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 want 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 designed for adults. Expect tension, eerie imagery, and satirical workplace pressure. Your group sets boundaries before play, and the GM employs standard consent and safety tools. The tone is adaptable, ranging from dry dark comedy to slow-burn psychological horror. Let the GM know where you want that dial. You can also select someone whose style aligns with the vibe you desire. Browse playstyle profiles here: GM playstyles.

How does this differ from D&D or Pathfinder?

This isn’t heroic fantasy. You take on the role of modern investigators, juggling field decisions with company policies and oversight. Progress is made through investigation, containment, and negotiation, rather than dungeon crawls or treasure hunting. Combat can occur, but it comes at a high cost, making many encounters feel like intricate puzzles with moving parts and time constraints. Advancement is reflected in 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 on 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 unfold 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 experience the unique dynamics between field agents and compliance.

What group size and session length are most effective?

Triangle Agency is best played with 3 or 4 players, but it can accommodate between 2 and 5. Sessions typically last 3 to 4 hours, allowing ample time to investigate, confront the anomaly, and debrief without feeling rushed. With five players, the GM might streamline scenes to ensure everyone gets a fair share of spotlight time. Duos can also work well, often tackling tighter, spookier cases. One-shots are designed to fit into a single session, while campaigns follow interconnected cases over multiple evenings.

Can we play online with the strange forms and handouts?

Yes. It plays 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 in-person props, the GM can also bring printed case files and tags.

What players are saying

  • First of all, I want to say that Sebastian was really great as a DM. For his first run as a booked DM, he did a fantastic job. The 3 stars refer to the following: 1. We were disappointed that the adventure was labelled a One Shot yet wasn't a complete story. Discovering that there are two more parts wasn't very positive for us, as it meant there was no satisfying conclusion to the story. 2. As new players, it was difficult for us to understand the English character sheets in such a short time. In German, it would have been much easier. Even receiving the character sheets a few days in advance would have been helpful for preparation. 3. More guidance would be beneficial. Especially for beginners, a more linear one shot would have been preferable. We wasted a large portion of the adventure time doing unnecessary things because we didn't really know how the game worked. Overall, I think the StoryForgers concept is really good and I see a lot of potential in it, especially for introducing new players to D&D. I hope you don't take my feedback the wrong way but as honest criticism. Cheers, Mario

  • Bryan was exceptional. We had a group with varied experience levels, and he managed to keep everyone engaged and involved. His positive attitude made the game enjoyable for all. I really appreciated how he could clearly explain what was needed for our less experienced players while keeping our more seasoned players on their toes with his extensive knowledge of the game. Everyone in our party had a fantastic time thanks to Bryan.

    Jeremy

  • Dayron was fantastic. Well-prepared, punctual, and had a brilliant sense of humour.

  • The game was incredibly engaging. I organised a session as a gift for my boyfriend, who is really passionate about it, and he was very pleased and appreciated Leonardo's professionalism. I don't have much experience with DnD, but I found the game to be quite straightforward and enjoyable.

    Marina

  • Baptiste was a fantastic GM who adapted seamlessly to our group and helped us make great progress in this one-shot. However, there was one issue with the character sheets provided; they were not complete or clear. Some of the French translations were quite rough. For instance, our cleric was missing spells, including a healing spell, even though they were meant to have some.

    Pierre

  • Rachel was fantastic; my daughter and her friends left their game saying it was the most fun they’d ever had, and my daughter wanted to sign up for another game with her straight away. She was friendly, and her approach let the players immerse themselves in the game by giving them control over how they wanted their actions to unfold. I would definitely work with her again.

    John

  • A great first experience with D&D. Amber was excellent at explaining and guiding the game, allowing us as players to quickly get into the flow and focus on the story. Collaborating on attack strategies with my colleagues was a fun activity that provided valuable insights into each other's characters, thought processes, and differences. Overall, I found it to be a very enjoyable session.

  • Pim is truly a legend as a DM! He's cheerful, adaptable, and incredibly experienced. With a group of novice players, he managed to create an amazing experience in just a few hours. He maintained control in a fun manner and engaged every player in the story, whether they were vocal or reserved. If you go adventuring with him, it will certainly be unforgettable!
