Aetherway

Hit the road between worlds with a black cat, a clockwork assassin, a fallen star, and a pilgrim who huffs the ashes of a dead saint. Deliver lumber to communist skeletons living on the back of a gargantuan crab. Ride a comet to a party in the skull of a cosmic god that was converted to condos.

Aetherway is a quirky, planet-hopping RPG zine, compatible with both Tunnel Goons and Troika!* Use it to improvise your own adventures, as set of extra Troika! backgrounds, as a conversion guide between Troika! and Tunnel Goons rules, or a bunch of random generators for any other game of planeswalking hijinks. 

In a compact 16 pages (including covers), it includes… 

• 36 brief, travel-oriented character backgrounds with skills, spells, and items
• 36 pathways and portals between worlds 
• Two 36-item lists to generate places one might visit across the planes
• Three 36-item lists to generate peoples of various planets
• Three 36-item lists to generate strange creatures of the cosmos
• 36 travel-oriented adventure seeds
• 36 magical mishaps for miscast spells

You might also find it helpful to use the online character keeper spreadsheet to track multiple characters in one place.

*But wait, you say, how can it be compatible with TWO different games?! So glad you asked! This slim booklet includes a half a letter-sized page adapting Tunnel Goons rules to use them with Troika! backgrounds, plus a letter-sized spread distilling the Troika! rules.
