Etherscope Softcover Edition

Etherspace adventures in an age of industry, intrigue, and industrialism

Enter Etherspace

In 1876, Harold Wallace discovered something that changed the world: Etherspace. The might of Victorian industry drove forward, breaking down the frontiers of technology. Steam engines became smaller, weapons became more powerful, and cybernaughtics replaced limbs lost in bloody imperial wars. Then mankind learned to step into Etherspace itself.

Cyberpunk Victoriana

Now it's 1984. In this alternative world of out-of-control technology, Etherspace is the new frontier. Punk scope riders fight evil industrialists while occult investigators war against Etherspace demons. Mysterious System Agents lurk in the shadows as treasure hunters raid Lemurean ruins for lost secrets. Jack in, scope up, and get ready, because the options for an Etherscope game are endless!

This softcover reprint of the award-nominated role playing game contains everything you need to create a character, play an adventure, start a campaign, and explore Etherspace! It includes all errata from the first printing, a 16-page bonus section with previews from the Etherscope supplements, and the all-new adventure Cinnamon Rose

Produced in cooperation with Malladins Gate Press.

Etherscope Reviews:

• GameWyrd: "Etherscope is a brilliantly original game... It's late December and Etherscope is a good contender for d20 game of the year."
• EN World, staff reviewer Crothian: 5 stars. "Etherscope is one of the most unique and compelling settings to come out of the d20 craze."

• RPG Blog Fan Review: "Etherscope is a unique game that manages to do a lot of things very well in the space of its pages. I would not be surprised to see it take home a few awards this year. A unique and expansive gateway to adventure such as Etherscope deserves all the accolades it can scoop up."
