I love this! The backgrounds and setting really get my imagination going.

Great, clean design + use of public domain art.

The tone is great — you manage to capture the feel of Troika! while making something decidedly your own. And I love how it's both an interplanar Tunnel Goons hack and a supplement for Troika! at the same time. It's like the game itself is a pathway between planets! :-)

Beautiful layout, and beautiful character classes that remind me of Troika. I also like that Jason's hack works with skills and items only. Dropping stats simplifies the Goons system even more. Perfect.

The backgrounds here are fantastic, and much like Troika!, it gives you just enough description to fill in the blanks in your own way.

Love love love these character backgrounds, i think the next time I play tunnel goons I'll have my players generate characters using these backgrounds instead.

As a fan of Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy's temporal and spatial travel thru the 6 books, I adored this aetherway travel!! I can't wait to use it in my space fantasy games. 

The real meat, d66 backgrounds that are compatible to Troika, did not disappoint. All of them are goooood. A superb hack!

This game is awesome. I love the look and feel, the theme, the backgrounds... All great stuff. If there is something missing from the game it's the "why" -- why characters are traveling the aetherway, but of course that's something supplied by the players relative to their character's backgrounds and probably a matter over which the GM will pose questions. NEATO.

This is such a clever, value-additive take! I love the simplicity and flexibility of the magic system and how it's another form of dangerous roll - and the dropping of classes for broad lists of freeform skills is certainly near and dear to my heart.

Above all though, the included d66 tables are sublime! Love the cover, too!

Love it. Plus anything I can bring into Troika is an even bigger bonus!

Troika influences on its sleeve, this title delivers its own brand of weirdness and whimsy. Lots of background choices, and lots of gateways to fantastic journeys!

Awesome art! I love the sheer number of available backgrounds!
