; Pitch
: With the end of the regular season on such major shows as "Exodus II" and "Roanoke", the SGA broadcasting network is planning its summer season. Network executives have flirted with the idea of mini-series centered around a paranormal investigation firm, perhaps in the light-hearted style of "Ghostbusters" or "Men in Black", although some have suggested going for a darker mood, in the vein of "X-Files" or "Millennium", or the glitz and versatility of "Buffy", "Angel", or a paranormal "Remington Steele". SGA-TV Week will keep you posted as the summer season gets in full swing!

: [Cue electronic music, soft and ominous.]

: FADE IN: Wide shot of the starry night sky over a mountain range, a small greenish LIGHT flickering in the foothills.

: ANNOUNCER: "They come when you call."

: CUT TO: Broad daylight, medium shot of a group of people in official-looking uniforms and ballistic vests, spread out near a black van and watching a HOUSE from the street, exchanging comments.  A dark blue 1999 Ford Crown Victoria comes to a stop near the van and PHIL MAXELL climbs out of the driver's seat.

: [The music's tempo picks up.]

: MAXELL: "Aaaww, no, not this place again!  You KNOW it's gonna..."

: On cue, the roof of the house explodes like the lid on a faulty pressure cooker.  The AGENTS go sprawling from the shock wave.

: ANNOUNCER: "They face danger every minute."

: CUT TO: Close-up view of a woman's face, with glasses and sensible haircut, frowning in concentration.  The camera pans out to show her sitting at a COMPUTER in a small, cluttered office, with stacks of books and files piled high.

: DR. GARZELLI: "I swear I'm gonna get you, you prick!"

: ANNOUNCER: "They dig in matters humanity was not meant to interfere with."

: CUT TO: Front shot of a beefy man in the same uniform as the earlier team, pulling back his cap and scratching his head.  He's looking down at a wooden STAKE he's holding in his other hand.

: JAKE STERLING: "So you're sure the blood was green?"

: [The music becomes pounding electro pop.]

: CUT TO: Wide shot of a one-way street with CARS parked all along both sides.  The cars start being flung to either side as if a tornado was running down the middle of the street.  The overhead WIRES start crackling with blue bolts of electricity.

: ANNOUNCER: "InSpectres."

: [The music comes to a sudden stop.]

: CUT TO: Medium shot of a darkened cavern, lit by MAXELL's flashlight.  The beam reveals primitive paintings in Native style on the walls.  A noise of rockfall off-camera startles MAXELL.  He turns around rapidly.  The flashlight beam dwindles as if the batteries are dying.

: MAXELL: "Aw, crap, no!"

: He shakes the flashlight.  The beam shrinks to a small yellow point, then disappears.  FADE TO BLACK.

: MAXELL: "Hello?..."

: ANNOUNCER: "Coming this summer to SGA-TV."

; Technical Notes
: InSpectres is a short, easy little game of paranormal investigation. In it, players create the investigation and clues instead of following the GM's trail of breadcrumbs. Players start the game by creating their franchise, which can range from a small outfit struggling to get started to a bureaucratic government agency to a Goonies-style group of nosy kids. To play, all you need is half-a-dozen six-sided dice and a group of creative gamers.
