Invitation to sail the Aetherial Void

Greetings All,

As some may or may not be aware I have been working on a set of rules
similar in basic setting and premise to those found in FRP games like Space:
1889 and Spelljammer.  They're not complex rules, and will probably never be
a replacement for your favorite in-house system, but they do center upon
establishing a fantasy meta-setting premise: space adventures without the
hard science tropes.

Now I need, nay humbly ask, for any able bodied and sound of mind souls
reading these words with the time who are willing to take up the gauntlet of
challenge to read over the current work in progress and let me know what
they think.  But first a little background. .

At the core of Crystal Spheres is the cosmology, which hearkens backs to
Euclidean and Ptolemaic models of the solar system, with a twist.  A twist
players of Spelljammer should be familiar with: Each celestial sphere
contains a solar system.  The premise employed is a simple one, outside
Crystal Spheres is the expanse of the Great Beyond; within the Cyrstal
Sphere is the Aetherial Void.  All this is explained in the Adventure Book
(now up for preliminary review) which contains 94-pages of :

o  Background cosmology
o  Detailed character creation rules
o  A Meta conflict resolution system
o  15 sentient player character races
o  20+ character archetypes
o  26+ creatures of the aether
o  Ship-to-ship combat rules
o  A glossary of terms

The rules very much geared toward table top play, especially where
ship-to-ship actions are concerned.  I would very much like to get some
feedback on my endeavors thus far, hear what others think about the rules,
whether you think the game is decent and worth continued development, of if
you just thnk it's a steaming pile crap.  The file (CS00PRAB.PDF) is
currently up at my Yahoo Group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Fantastic_Creations/ in the Crystal Spheres
file area.  Wherein you will also find character sheets, a quick reference
card, and other goodies.

Currently being worked on is the Master Book, essentially a Game Master
resource book that will have various aides and helpful articles about
various and sundry things related to the setting; Mind Mages, the "psionic"
supplment; and a few other surprises that will appear as time, interest, and
the fates permit.

If you have any questions please inquire either directly in the group or
here, as need be.

Thank you.


Kind Regards,

Chris Morgan
