Aether*Flux

Hello, my name is Steven Grover and you will find it on the front of the
Aether*Flux Sourcebook.

Aether*Flux is a 96 page softbound sourcebook, it inherently cannot
compare on sheer volume with the boxed version of SpellJammer and was
not meant to do so.

It is designed to provide a source for new methods of moving a campaign
into space or at least provide the possibility of that occuring. The
main focus is to get the players involved in taking over a ship and
making it the prize, not just waiting for the hull to be blown apart so
they can go for a magical chair. It allows your mages and priests to be
more than the magical battery for thier ship.

The enviroment has more factors of reality in regards to air and
gravity. The DM has more control of the travel times so that his
adventures aren't regulated by the time it takes to travel between
locales of his adventure. One time it might be a fast trip as the Aether
is thinner and provides more push, the next it could take much longer as
the ship hits a doldrums effect and must fight for every bit of speed.

The combat system is D20 based around the siege weapon rules and ships
are designed with section thickness, material, hitpoints, hardness and
break DCs as decribed in the DMG. Within a few weeks stats based on
these rules for the original SpellJammer ships will be provide at the
Darkfuries website in PDF format.

Finally, let me say that I enjoyed SpellJammer and ran a continuous 5
year campaign around the Scro adventure series. The material you have
for Spell Jammer will work with Aether * Flux and if you want to
continue using Helms then it will mesh with the technical aspects of
movement in the Traverse.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please do post them
as I will be checking back regularly.
