A downloadable wargame

AetherTac is a skirmish wargame about special operations combat with compressed-air guns and industrialized magic.

  •  Build a squad of elite operators, line soldiers, or militia. Equip them with weapons, shields, and mechanisms imbued with magical power.
  • Combine 20+ spells and 3 delivery mechanisms, from flash vials to Wands of Positional Inversion.
  • Fight on a gridless map with intuitive rules for positioning and cover.
  • Take hostages, steal secrets, assassinate your enemies, or pursue any other objective you can think of. Use the outcomes of each battle to set the stage for the next one.
  • Explore a world of diplomacy and shadow wars, and write the story of your own faction or polity.

AetherTac is currently in open playtesting. If you have feedback (especially about the clarity of the instructions), questions, or want to contribute to the canon of the world, join the AetherTac Discord. I will also be running playtest games at Evanston Games and Cafe, Sundays 3-6pm.
