Age of Aether RPG Core Rulebook

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

The steam churns, the gears turn…

…turning you back, back in time to an age of industry, revolution, and change, to a world where magic is not merely superstition, but proven scientific fact, as natural as the birds that fly and only slightly less wonderous than the machines that dare to do the same. How your world reacts to these elements is up to you and your fellow players.

This is a complete rulebook for game masters and players alike, giving you everything you need to live your ultimate historical steampunk adventure. Whether you hear the call of magic, feel the allure of automata, or desire the power of really big guns, you’ll find it all within these pages.

Discover yourself through any of 10 playable character races. Pit your friends against the technological limitations of an era now long past and the fantastic forces of a time which never was. Disbanding character classes and decoupling skills from attributes means your story goes as far as you can imagine, waiting just at the edge of reality, waiting…

…within the Age of Aether.

Age of Aether uses a step-die system, where bonuses and penalties change the type of die you roll from d2 to d12 and every die in between. In addition, attributes are decoupled from skills, meaning that the Game Master decides what attribute and skill are requred for each roll. This gives a great amount of flexibility to GM and player, and helps prevent min-maxing. The addition of focus points - which players may use to improve die rolls, deflect damage, survive certain death, and more - helps players feel more heroic, and also survive the deadly enemies that they will face in their adventures.

Still, there is no more information than "it uses dice-steps".
A little bit more would be welcome.

Looked on website, it is really vague. Are you rolling one dice for stat and one for skill? Is it opposed rolls, are their difficulties? how does combat work? all very vague

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
