One world, kept together

Shape scenes with precision.

Adjust dimensions, materials and properties in the Inspector, with custom gizmos built for each type of shape.

Scene building in 2D and 3D

Place walls and props, block token vision, and move between a top-down view and perspective as you build and play.

Scene-aware vision and fog of war.

Draw invisible barriers where you need them, or build walls in Scene Builder and let Aether add the sight boundaries automatically. Each player’s visibility is computed on the server using the same rules in 2D and 3D.

Around your table

Built for how you actually GM.

Your workspace

Arrange your panels your way.

Open what you need, move tabs between groups, resize panels or pop them out. Each world remembers your layout.

Connected world

Build your campaign in the Library.

Organize characters, places, lore and handouts into folders and multi-page documents. Reference other entries, reuse live character data, and control what your players get to see.

Marketplace

Extend the way you play.

Install Systems and first- or third-party mods from the Marketplace. Systems shape the rules and content of your world, while mods add new tools and experiences.

Undo and redo

Pick up where you left off.

Your undo and redo history stays with the world across sessions, with conflict checks that protect newer changes, and GMs can review player history.
