Launch day is here!
Welcome to the special launch newsletter for Crucible of Aether, a mystic-industrial Tabletop RPG that puts player agency first!
Our Kickstarter goes live today at 4 p.m. ET! Please consider backing the game soon after launch — every early backer helps boost our project in the algorithm and gets us in front of more people.
Stay tuned to the end of the newsletter for a sneak peek at some of the stretch goals for our game!
A TTRPG that puts character advancement in your hands
Crucible of Aether’s Kickstarter is meant to improve a project we have poured years of work into and get it into your hands.
We have already written and playtested hundreds of pages of content for people to have fun with. The Kickstarter is first and foremost to finance production and additional art assets.
A world of magic, industry, and the eldritch
The game takes place in the Empire of Odayos, a land undergoing vast changes through a tumultuous industrial revolution.
Your characters will step into the midst of this, hailing from one of the 14 Home Nations of the Empire, with one of dozens of backgrounds and pursuing any number of Careers.
Once dice hit the table, your character will grow through the choices you make! You improve at the skills you use and gain abilities through your choices.
So, shoot a bow and arrow and improve at Archery. Steal things and become a Thief. Your growth is limited only by your imagination!
Step into the world and play before you back!
Our Kickstarter page also includes a link to our quickstart guide and introductory adventure “Incident on Illgriffe” for you to try out for yourselves before making a decision on backing our game.
And now: A sneak peek at stretch goals!
