Using Aether

Everything you need to play at a table or run one as the game master.

1 minute readEdit this page

Aether is a virtual tabletop. You and your friends share a map, move tokens around it, roll dice, and keep your characters in one place. One person runs the game (the game master, or GM); everyone else plays.

These pages are for playing and running games. If you want to build a game system or write an extension, head to Building on Aether.

#Where to start

If someone sent you a link to join a table, start with Joining a table. If you are setting up a game yourself, start with Running a game.

#What a world is

A world is one campaign: its maps, characters, notes, and the people invited to it. Worlds sleep when nobody is in them and wake up the moment someone joins, so a world is always there without you having to keep anything running.
