Joining a table

Your GM sends you an invite link. Opening it puts you at the table. You do not need a paid account to play: only the person running the game does.

#Open the invite

Click the link your GM sent. If you already have an Aether account you go straight in. If not, you are asked for a display name and an email, and then you go straight in.

#Pick your character

If your GM has already made a character for you, it appears in the character list and you can claim it. If not, the GM assigns one later, and you can watch in the meantime.

#Check that you can see the map

You should see the map in the middle of the screen. If it looks empty, your GM may not have revealed anything yet, which is normal at the start of a session.

#If the world is still waking up

Worlds sleep when nobody is using them. The first person to join wakes the world, which takes about a second, so you may see a brief "waking" message. Anyone joining after that goes straight in.
