Sample Turnsheets

For each of the Sample Characters, we have written a sample Turnsheet, which is intended as an example of how one might go about writing a Turnsheet. More details about Turnsheets can be found here. For more general ideas on how you can engage with the setting, see the Ways To Play page.

This example shows Beatrice, a Sceau d'Or field researcher, supporting her faction by collecting research data.

I want to carry out research on the ice and water around APERIS.

1. Survey the ice shelf, taking scientific readings and samples for further investigation.
2. Spend some time diving beneath the ice to take more readings in the water below. If needed, ask Guy Drivers to borrow equipment or for advice for diving in Antarctica.
3. File a report to Sceau d'Or HQ detailing the state of Antarctica, with suggestions of how it could relate to the anomalous activity.

• Qualified Ear (Beatrice's friend would be able to give guidance on how best to investigate the chemical makeup of samples, and how to interpret the results)
• Diving

• Guy Drivers

• Ask around for someone to fix a broken radio so I can listen to music while I work.
• Hand a spare canister of heating fuel to Heide and ask how BGA's research is going.
• Send over nothing to the ANCOM logistics officer, even though I promised. ANCOM doesn't deserve it.
• Send a photo of Antarctica home and tell my sister I miss her.
• Share a photo of the cold water dive with Kerry Payne.

My character is a huge fan of Kerry Payne!

This example shows Shi Liu, a Unit 871 paranormal investigator, choosing to temporarily leave APERIS.

Take a temporary leave from APERIS for medical evaluation. I will escort Liu Lian's malfunctioning UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) back to Moscow for inspection and return within a month.

After months of headaches and sleepless nights, the med-tech recommended I take a temporary leave to observe my condition. Director Liu agreed, but on the condition that I escort Unit 871's broken unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) back to Moscow and explain why half of them stopped responding mid-flight.

I will:

1. Arrange transport of damaged UAV units and necessary documentation back to Moscow, with the aid of Nikolai.
2. Undergo the prescribed neurological evaluation and debrief at the Commission medical facility.
3. Find out the reasons for my persistent migraines and insomnia, and see if they are caused by Antarctic anomalies or are simply stress-induced.
4. Request a full report from the Commission’s medical staff on their findings—I want to know what drugs I can take to suppress them.

• Paranormality (Fixing my Feng Shui compass）
• Break My Brain

• Liu Lian—authorised the leave on the condition that I help with her UAV problem
• Nicolai Arsenyev—has recorded my departure and will log the report to the Commission

• Deliver a preliminary performance report to justify the current operating costs of Unit 871, so that they can issue new UAVs.
• Request updated briefings and archives from Nikolai before returning to the field so that I know what's going on in APERIS during my leave.
• My Feng Shui compass has been behaving erratically: the needle doesn’t point north anymore. I’ll bring it back for inspection to determine whether this is permanent damage. If broken, I’ll seek a replacement.

My character still insists the problems are purely psychological. They're also writing a 30-page paper on it. Alas, correlation ≠ causation, it is probably just fatigue. (It's not.)

This example shows Antoine, a BGA archivist, investigating an anomaly that has been haunting him recently.

Investigate the strange whistling noise that can only be heard at night near the APERIS station.

Antoine can't bear it any longer. He has to know what this sound is, even if it means going out alone. He can't sleep or even think at night anymore.

1) Come nightfall, he will equip himself with the relevant gear (flashlights, sufficiently warm clothes, flares and anything else deemed reasonable and carryable etc), and wander in the direction of the noise.
2) He will also bring a recorder, to try to capture the noise, and prove its existence to everybody.
3) He has told Anya Collins about his plans. She didn't believe him, but she seemed scared at the look in his eyes.

• N/A

• Anya Collins—She's the only one who knows about this expedition.

• Meet with Arron Meyer to briefly discuss the APERIS servers, as they have recently started playing up.
• Reluctantly agreed to help Kerry Payne with her cloud storage problems.

My character HATES Kerry Payne, she's so so ANNOYING!
