Elements of Procedure

Time is many things. A corridor that surrounds us all, linking every point in time. A sometimes benevolent, sometimes malevolent force. A catalyst for dark feelings and the incubator of wholesome ones. Time is its own unique force, operating independently from the rest of the world. Sometimes, however, it breaks through into our world causing confusion, horror and panic. When this happens, time must be set back on course, to continue its constant flow. That is where you come in…

Hailing from all over time, far away and long ago, players will create and play as an Operative, a human who gave up their humanity, joining the timeless and becoming interdimensional to take on this immortal task; who arrives in some time and to some place, to investigate these breaks and work to get time back on course. 

Adopting the names of elements, stones and metals, the Operatives will investigate, identify, and resolve whatever changes the interference of time has brought, through careful investigation and thrilling mind bending action.

——

Elements of Procedure is a tabletop roleplaying game for 3 to 4 players, with a narrator to guide them along. Players can create their own Operative or choose 1 of 6 pre generated characters:
