Call it what it was: hubris, arrogance, a collective delusion of grandeur… We thought we were the only beings in this universe and that with our grand intellect and glorious empires we were the best humanity would ever be.
And then came Aether.
And along with Aether came mental expansion, form mutation, matter warping, time manipulation, and the discovery of new worlds, new peoples, new and terrifying possibilities.
And with Aether came the doom of humankind. Aether brought the Martians to our world, and the unravelling of the reality we knew.

Aether is a full rule and setting expansion for the Trinity Continuum line of games, set in the year 1895, at a time when humanity has conquered its own world, and now seeks to conquer the limitations imposed on us by the laws of all the sciences known to our kind. Inside, you will find:

• A complete Victorian-era setting and Paths for characters to embark upon within it.
• Aether powers allowing you to manipulate fate, space, time, and even your own bodies in wondrous and horrifying ways.
• Societies both lawful and rogue, looking to leave their imprint on the world, from those in league with Mina Harker to those affiliated with Dr. Jekyll and Moriarty.
• Storyguide advice, secrets, hooks, and plots, to enable you to start your game of Aether off with a bang.

Proposed Aether cover

[karpomatic]

I've been asking for the Trinity Continuum cover art to be put up on Redbubble for years now. I want posters!

*waves at Dracula*

I know that guy!

[Florin]

I know the tone will be very different, but that cover looks like a mash-up of Trinity Continuum and They Came From!, in the best way possible.

[The Gentleman Gamer]

I knew there was a reason I was hired.

[Mateus Luz]

It’s not a TCF game if there is no Crab People… wait! There are crab people in the continuum…

By the way, the guy shooting the tiranosaur must be Jack “Rich T” Tallon.

IT'S ALIVE!!! Save yourself from Martians! 😱

Well, then it's about time to activate mankind's deadliest weapon of defense....the...SNEEZE!

[Dataweaver]

So: Paris got wiped out by the Martians; but a few decades later, the general public doesn't remember that happening.

I suspect the apparent absurdity of this will be addressed through the unwindings: from my brief skimming of the first chapter, it appears that what Aether does can, with effort, be undone; and by the end of this era, it will mostly be undone.

[Waldi]

Well, all those talk about different worlds could also mean, that Aether takes place in a different dimension altogether. This would also neatly explain, why ficticious characters exist in Aether, but not in Adventure.

By the way - it seems, the Trinityverse somehow hates France.

[jollycooperative]

Honestly, I'm hoping Unwinding works more like "banished to a parallel reality" than "literally unmade."

Not only because getting rid of Aether is a lame thing to do, but because that would make the Unwinders complicit in several counts of mass murder...

[No One of Consequence]

*waves at Dracula*

I know that guy!

It looks like he has formed a gang with Carmilla, Varney, Jack the Ripper, and Orlok.



I wonder how hard it would be to port the systems to the 18th century with Newton discovering alchemically derived Æther.

i’d have guessed Ruthven for the additional male Vamp (not that Ruthven couldn’t also be Jack the Ripper)

I knew there was someone I was forgetting.


You know, looking at that image, I can't help but believe that the answer to the Martian menace is an army of vampire dinosaurs. 🤔🦖

'The Order of Murder: A society focused on opening Aether Gates to alternate versions of Earth to allow the successful assassination and replacement of selected targets.'

And now we know how TC Assassins come to be in 'main' Trinity timeline...

'Students of Tesla: A society, the members of which study, research, and master Aether use,
spinning up experiments in nominally safe environments and only involving knowledgeable volunteers.'

I can now be Student of Tesla - f#$% yeah! 🤘⚡🤘
