Every change, in order.

System Studio sheets can look like a printed character sheet

Sheets gain compact stat boxes with the label under the box, equation rows, tables with column headers, coloured header bars, a parchment palette and two bundled display fonts; older sheets look exactly as before.

The New World page opens again

The New World page failed for every host since v0.33.0 because two early D&D 5e versions no longer pass their integrity check; it now leaves those two out and lists every other system.

System Studio formulas can total a character's classes, and enum choices and action text follow each player's language

Found while building Pathfinder 1e in System Studio. A Derived Value can read an owned race and sum over owned classes, shared enums carry translated labels, action and macro text reads in each player's language, and an effect can be a condition with no number.

Catalogue entry pages show field names instead of translation keys

Opening a Catalogue entry listed every field as a raw translation key, as did enum headings, Test fixtures and some rule pickers; a crawl of 1,453 clicks over a full-size project now finds none.

The System Studio editor shows names instead of translation keys

Catalogue entry lists and rule formulas showed raw translation keys instead of names; they now show the text, checked on 29 screens of a full-size project.

A System Studio project can hold a full core rulebook

A project can now carry 10,000 translated messages per language instead of 2,000, enough for a whole Pathfinder core rulebook in two languages, and impact reviews name fields instead of showing translation keys.

Large System Studio projects open and save quickly

A 1.4 MB project that froze the System Studio editor now opens in under a second and saves in about 150 ms, and a change through Studio's MCP server takes about a tenth of the time it did.

Studio previews, tests and edits no longer pause the site

Studio now checks each saved version of a project once and runs previews, tests, checks and edits on a separate worker, so none of them holds other pages for more than about 10 ms.

Editing a large System Studio project no longer pauses the site

Studio's check of a whole project now runs beside the web server instead of on it, so a change to a 1.3 MB project holds every other page for 8 ms instead of about two seconds.

Large System Studio projects no longer take the site down

Studio checked a whole project once for every item it showed, which froze aethervtt.cloud for about ten minutes on 26 October. It now checks once per request.

Build a game system in System Studio and play it in your Worlds

Author records, catalogues, sheets and rules in the browser, test them in private Worlds, start Worlds from your own versions and submit them to the Marketplace.

Touch controls and a mobile workspace

Focus one workspace group at a time, see every open panel in an overview, and navigate the table with touch.

Scene management and saved workspace layouts

Create and manage scenes from one panel, save workspace layouts by name, and create Library content directly inside the folder you’re working in.

Private support conversations and service status

Report problems, ask questions or send feedback directly from Aether, continue the conversation privately, and check the current status of Aether services.

Doodle paper dice

Doodle adds seven paper dice with ink numbers and special effects for natural 20s and 1s.

Scene editing, built-in dice and two game systems

Edit scenes from one place, undo more scene actions through History, choose your dice in My Dice, and start worlds with 5E 2024 SRD or Red Runners.

Guided tours and working system world creation

Follow guided tours in Aether and package panels, and create a 5E world from the Marketplace without an artifact-consent mismatch.

Languages, richer surfaces and rules beside your world

Choose English, Brazilian Portuguese or Spanish, use improved materials and clearer 3D dice, and search an installed game system’s rules inside Library.

Editable Shapes and scene controls

Scene Builder gains editable Shapes and a hierarchy for hard-to-pick objects, while scene settings open beside the table and Library edits update without a reload.

A clearer Inspector for scene editing

Scene properties are easier to scan and edit with aligned labels, grouped axes and controls chosen for each kind of value.

Set the Tabletop sun, ambient fill and shadows

Preview a scene's sun direction, height, colour and strength before applying it, choose whether structure, props and token bases cast shadows, and let each reader reduce or disable shadow rendering without changing the table.

Create scene materials from your own images

Choose a verified PNG, JPEG or WebP from the Asset Library, preview its world-scale tiling, then save, apply, duplicate, edit or safely replace it in one scene.

See and move every selected part of a scene

Drag wall ends, floor corners and openings, or use one move, rotate and scale gizmo for tokens, drawings, props and compatible selections in Map or Tabletop.

Build a room directly on the table

Drag floors and walls, anchor doors and windows, assign eight built-in materials, and place your 3D assets in a shared Map and Tabletop edit mode.

Map and Tabletop are two views of one live scene

Orbit, pan and zoom the same scene as a perspective table with solid walls and upright image-token standees, then switch back to the complete top-down editor.

Test unpublished packages in private worlds

Creators upload an immutable candidate, invite named testers into a marked private world, and promote the exact tested bytes. Candidates expire after 30 days, each package keeps at most eight, and every private dependency is pinned by candidate id and hash.

Installable game systems with bounded upgrades

A system package carries schemas, native sheets, sandboxed tools, dependencies, starter content, and migrations under one immutable identity. A GM reviews the complete graph before world creation or upgrade, and a failed migration restores the previous checkpoint and graph.

Portable soundscapes and world storage

Export a Soundscape with its audio, publish it in Creator Studio, and install it in another world. The Asset Library traces files to live uses and removes only unused local assets, while separate samples report asset and world-data storage.

Audio and soundscapes at the table

GMs can upload MP3, WAV, Ogg, WebM or M4A files and play cues, sequences or layered ambience. Each player joins audio and controls master, music, ambience and effects volume on their device.

Password recovery by email

A reset request queues a 30-minute, single-use email link without confirming whether the address has an account. Keep me signed in now chooses a browser session or seven days.

Docs from world creation to a running system

Player and GM guides cover setup, scene play, Library sharing, History and troubleshooting. Builder guides scaffold Starfall, run its d20 action and generate Protocol 26, SDK and capability references.

Persistent History and links to Library entries

Protocol 26 keeps up to 100 reversible content actions per person, new prep starts GM only, grant maps are reader-scoped, and copied Library links reopen an entry or page.

Drawings, placed images and server-rolled tables

GMs can use five vector tools and placed images on the live map, preview weighted Roll Table results before posting, and rename records or selected map objects without reloading.

Aether-owned packages publish through a reviewed Marketplace path

Source-controlled descriptors, authenticated server publication and immutable audits keep package bytes, listing copy and media in sync without exposing production credentials.

Bounded animated mod objects and seven server-decided dice

Hosted mods can place limited shapes or verified models over the interactive map, while each player chooses which authoritative rolls animate.

Six GM guides from world setup to shared handouts and round one

The first-session and Library sequences use one reproducible campaign, real player presentation and release-built screenshots.

Marketplace installs reach the open table

Publish a supported package, choose a compatible world, and deliver mods or declarative content without stopping the session.

Battle maps have a scale now

Align square, hex or gridless scenes over an image, measure in system units, choose snapping and retain per-player exploration without revealing hidden tokens.

Two ways to build a mod interface

Sheets, chat cards, settings and actions now use bounded contracts around both paths.

Chat and dice are one panel now

Notes, handouts and characters live in one panel

The map editor becomes a tool

A version every service can name

The running version is readable from the web app, the gateway and every world server; a tag refuses to deploy from a commit CI has not passed; and the roadmap and changelog are generated from the work items rather than mock data.
