    As a kid who loved Treasure Planet I'm 100% in on this

    I do love the idea of the aetherial expanse being inbetween worlds and being able to visit so many worlds is perfect for some cool crossovers

    I have been slowly building on the idea of the Dark Astral, where the most evil thoughts swirl and form this parallel dimension of the Astral. The Aestrial Expanse sounds like such the vehicle I have desired. Thank you Ben!!!

    Man i’m so excited for this, it looks absolutely incredible, can’t wait to spend all of my money on it

    This looks amazing. I hope it really expands upon the adventure released already in the Fables.

    Hell yessss. So ready for this setting to get more life into it!

    This is what I wish Spelljammer had been. I’ve been looking for a setting like this for decades!

      I'd say treat the sunken treasures & lost isles of the Aetherial Expanse as the ruins/remnants of Spelljammer - where Spelljammer ships sunk with weird creatures/treasures, where exiled lords from Spelljammer nations have infiltrated the aristocracy, and where weapons of past Spelljammer wars lay covered in vines on unmarked isles.

    As much as I love Ghostfire Gaming's settings and am definitely going to back this, I do have to admit that the obvious similarities the Aetherieal Expanse has to the better parts of 4e's Astral Sea elicit a warmth in my heart.

    The "Charles Darwin" adventure:
    A researcher has spent the last of their coin to hire a ship, a crew, and the PCs to protect the expedition. The researcher has a new theory which very few people believe, and so the party must sail with them exploring the Aetherial Expanse as they explore new locations and seek out loot/evidence/etc

    Low-key I want to get this purely for the ship combat. I've been wanting to run a high-seas campaign for a while but haven't found any rules that were satisfactory and easy to digest

    I don't even play Dungeons and Dragons. But man its fanbase has some of the best world builders I've ever seen.

    So found this as Im getting ready 4e Planescape; this looks really cool and plenty of vibes from 4e's Planes Above (aka the Astral Sea); will be keeping an eye on this o/

    Looking forward to this. I feel it will do for me and my group what Spelljammer did not

    You mentioned a hive mind trying to take over the Aetherial Expanse. They'd not only be a threat to the Aetherial Expanse but to all the worlds it is connected to by portals.

    So that's where The half-orc hero Thorgard of Valika disappeared ! Or not, who knows ^^.
    The world of Etharis from Grim Hollow doesn't hint much at another continent from the 3 main books I have, unless I missed something.
    Though it would add some interraction for how the entity that slayed the gods enter Etharis.

    I love Ben Byrne, Professional Hype Man videos. This one had my curiosity, but now it has my attention

  • @hyko8355
    @hyko8355 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For me the Aetherial Expanse is the blood spilled between the Gods and the Aether Kindreds of Grim Hollow during their conflict and it is where Gormadraug's soul fled to when his body was slain, and it's been slowly regenerating itself by feeding on the dreams and tales of the expanse.

    Could someone possibly tell me what music is used at 5:25 in the video, I really like it and would want to use it in my games

    I just pitched the Aetherial Expanse campaign to my group and they're so stoked!! We start tomorrow. I bought the entire campaign back in 2022 and received the PDF's monthly. I see that later you released it as a kickstarter. Since my PDF is from before the kickstarter, I'm wondering if there was any updates or changes that I don't have? Thanks for the video!
    edit: I got the 500th like!

    The factions remind me of Pillar's of Eternity 2: Deadfire, having one empire be about conquering and the other stripping the land of resources. Both are no less colonialist, but they provide different conflicts

  • @oceandiamond22

    Seeing as I only found this setting and backed it on it's last day, I may be out of the loop. But you showed ship to ship combat rules, and I want to ask to make sure that they are comparable with hex grid maps and not just square grids

      Kickstarter backers have received their copies first. Retail copies will be available very shortly once stock has transferred to our distributers, which is currently in process.

    Your description is so close to Radiant Citadel.

      Why not mix em together? You can do so much with it.

      @@iangratton6062 honestly, it would be Radiant Citadel far easier to mix with a setting like this than just connect it to Faerun

    LOL Bashing Spelljammer while literally copying Spelljammer. More Grim Hollow, thanks.
