Happy Labor Day weekend for our American backers!
I wanted to come by to share some updates and exciting news with you all!
First and foremost, we're about finished with our book fulfillment. A small handful of the hundreds of books we've fulfilled arrived with some degree of damage and we're working with Amazon to get replacements sent out as soon as possible (though the holiday weekend and Amazon's turn-around times may delay that a little).
Next up, we will begin shipping of the Aethera Spirits print comic books next week to all our supporters who backed at the print comic book level. We'll also be making the PDF version of the comic available to all other backers at that same time.
The GM screens will be coming in October once we've completed comic book fulfilment.
Some of you have been asking when and if we'd be doing conversions of the Aethera Campaign Setting to Starfinder and 5E. While a full translation of the campaign setting isn't in our foreseeable future due to how resource-heavy that project would be (we'd basically be re-writing every mechanical component of the book and rebuilding class-centric lore!) We do have some tantalizing news regarding our monsters.
Our partners at Legendary Games are putting together the Alien Bestiary for Starfinder and 5th Edition and we have chosen to partner up with Legendary again for this endeavor. We're suppling Legendary with all of our monsters and races from the Aethera Campaign Setting and they'll be converted over to these new systems! If you've been wanting to have your ceres kytons or amerta come smashing through into a Starfinder or 5th Edition game, now's your chance! Legendary is running a Kickstarter for this book (which is already 95% funded by the time I'm writing this update.)

On top of that, we have another huge suprise for you.
Through our partnership with Legendary Games we have the opportunity to bring you the Aethera Campaign Setting: Field Guide more than a year ahead of schedule!
The Aethera Campaign Setting: Field Guide is a 300-page bestiary containing an enormous host of new creatures unique to the Aethera setting. Each creature is presented with anywhere from a 2-page to 6-page spread, including information for their ecology, society, and special new rules unique to those creatures.
Legendary is supporting the field guide as a Stretch Goal. Once the Kickstarter hits $30,000 it unlocks the first 90 page section of creatures, classified as Organics.
The Organics Section includes creatures of the Animal, Plant, Humanoid, and Vermin types (varying in non-Pathfinder systems):
At $40,000 the Alien Bestiary Kickstarter will unlock the second 90-page section of the Field Guide: Arcanics.
At $50,000 Legendary Games unlocks the final 90-page component of the Field Guide: Anomalies.
This book will be written by the Aethera team and printed/fulfilled by Legendary Games through our fantastic new partnership. If we don't get through any or all of the Field Guide stretch goals, the remaining content will be released in the future as was planned on our initial product schedule.
I highly recommend you head on over and check that out now!
We'll have more news and announcements coming, so until then, keep watching the stars!
