Background & Notes
Investigative journalism is a dying art. The only way you managed to sell this story to Harry Malloy, your editor
at The Hollywood Tattler, was by spinning it as a celebrity gossip piece about Verity Harrow—a troubled star who
found religion and cleaned her life up. You told Harry that you thought it was just a front and you could prove that
she was still snorting coke, but what you’re really interested in is the Church of Sunyata. If you told Harry that,
the story would be spiked before you could finish the sentence.
The Church is just too powerful in Hollywood. Stars, producers, agents, moneymen, and even journalists have
all climbed on board the bandwagon to enlightenment. No matter how kooky their beliefs and underhanded their
practices are, writing the truth about them is career suicide. You don’t care. Even if the Tattler doesn’t have the
balls to run what you file, you should get enough material for a book.
You’ve been working undercover as a production assistant on The Space Between, a new movie bankrolled
by the Church. Everyone in the cast and crew is a Church member, and the word is that the film itself will be a
recruitment tool in disguise. You’re now enrolled on the bottom rung of the Church, but you have a long way to
go before people start opening up about secret teachings. You need to find a way to short-circuit that.
The amount of cocaine you use to keep you alert has increased a bit, but you are trying to convince yourself
that you don’t have a habit. You can probably stop if you want to, right

Background & Notes
You have been working for the Church of Sunyata since you were run out of the LAPD. You were already a member of the Church, but you had tried to keep your faith and personal life separate, no matter what the inquiry
said. Your original plan was to become a private detective, but Brian Musgrove, the head of the Church, invited
you for drinks and suggested that a man with your skills would be an asset to the organization.
Since then, you have worked to make problems go away. Sometimes it’s as simple as convincing a reporter to
drop a juicy story. Every now and then you have to conceal evidence, whether this means tax records, incriminating pictures, or a hooker’s body. You’ve developed a strong stomach. Your faith makes it easier.
There are rumors that the Church is involved with the recent disappearance of Verity Harrow. If that were true,
you would have been the man who made her go away, and you know nothing. You don’t like knowing nothing, so
you’re doing some digging of your own. It’s weird that no one has asked you to do so.

Background & Notes
Until last week, it seemed like the Church of Sunyata had given you everything you had ever wanted: your career
was on the ascent, you had a lead role in a major feature film, and you were in a relationship with Verity Harrow, a
vibrant, charming and successful actress. Then, four days ago, Verity disappeared and everything started falling apart.
The police have questioned you twice now, and you are sure there is more to follow. Reporters have been sniffing around, digging into all aspects of your life. How long can it be until someone realizes that your relationship
with Verity is a sham, covering your preference for anonymous sex with men in the clubs of LA? The truth would
destroy your standing in the Church, with its institutional homophobia; without that standing, where will your
career be?
You know that the Church is good at covering up scandals, and maybe making the right alliances can help you
survive with your career intact. Or maybe finding out the truth of what happened to Verity will take the spotlight
off you. Either way, you need to fight for your future.

Background & Notes
Your job has become easier in recent years. Less than ten years ago, people still openly called the Church of
Sunyata a cult. There were despicable stories in the press about tax fraud and dirty tricks. Since Brian Musgrove
took over the leadership of the Church, and started recruiting celebrities and schmoozing journalists, the Church’s
press has grown more positive.
You and the Church now stand at the brink of a new era. Jared Woodward, Hollywood wunderkind and faithful
Church member, has been working on a new movie—The Space Between—that he believes will have broad appeal,
win major awards, and encapsulate the basis of the Church’s teachings for a lay audience. If this happens, it will
be the biggest boost for the Church since the Celebrity Retreat opened. You are honored to be a producer on the
movie, even if that just seems to involve telling a lot of highly-strung showbiz folks that everything will be all right.
Things have become difficult in the last week. Verity Harrow, the star of the film, has gone missing, and there
are rumors of foul play. Woodward has become uncommunicative, and you’re worried that he’s back on cocaine.
The whole situation has the potential to become a PR nightmare. Luckily the spiritual teachings of the Church give
you strength at times like this, so you can drain your woes and weaknesses away, leaving you Empty and whole.

Background & Notes
You’re a self-made businesswoman, wealthy from founding a chain of health food shops. You have been a loyal
member of the Church of Sunyata for ten years, hoping it would lead to success in the movie business. You have
thrown money into endless training courses and Emptying sessions, but what do you have to show for it? A few
contacts in the industry and a couple of producer credits, sure, but compared to what you’ve seen other Church
members achieve, that’s small potatoes.
You’ve worked out that the Church higher-ups look after their own and everyone else is just cattle. If you want
to make the Church work for you, you’ve got to get in with the inner circle—Brian Musgrove and Craig Steele
especially.
Being a producer on The Space Between was supposed to be your big chance. It’s Steele’s pet project, and
people keep talking about how it is guaranteed Oscar bait. Now it’s all turning sour. Verity Harrow, the leading
lady, has vanished, probably on some drug binge; your fellow producer Blake Tevis has drunk the Kool-Aid and
is pretending that everything is OK; and the director, Jared Woodward is hiding from the world and only communicating through Julia Cortese, his PA. Worst of all, no one’s even shown you a full script yet, and the rushes
you’ve seen don’t make any goddamn sense.
Your advancement in the Church is on the line, and you’ve sunk $50,000 into the production, so you damn
well need to make this production work, no matter who you have to stand up to.

Just a heads-up I may be posting less over the next few days. It is Thanksgiving weekend here, and then I am popping over the border to the USA for a couple of days
