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!

Etherscope is a complete OGL role playing game containing everything you need to create a character, play an adventure, start a campaign, and explore Etherspace!

Reviews of the Hardcover Edition

• 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." 
• EN World, staff reviewer Psion: 4 stars. "The game ends up being the best professional take on a Victorian style steampunk setting I have seen. The setting is an enchanting synthesis between the world of Victorian era superscience and modern, cyberpunk, and horror tropes." 
• DriveThruRPG Fan Review: 5 stars. "All in all this book is excellent value for money (the production values are outstanding!) and I highly recommend it for a group wanting something genuinely different." 
• RPG.net, columnist Ross Winn: "It is a gorgeous game. Hardbound with an extremely evocative cover by Jonathan Hill, the interior art is great, the layout clear, the printing of good quality. Even the binding seems good."
