From the introduction: The Aether RPG system is a combination of love, spite and cards in the form of a Fantasy TTRPG designed to give the players as much control over the story of the game as possible. It's a game with an extreme narrative focus that will see the players making detailed and multifaceted characters whose personal history directly impacts the game being played. It also balances social encounters and tactical combat in order to give players a variety of options when it comes to settling conflict, and it gives the Narrator (game-runner) all the tools they need to plan and run a fun game for their friends.
