Aetherfest 3: The Big Score

The Blasted Baronies is a sunless wasteland ruled by ancient Vampires who once fed on Erudite but now harvest Wizard blood to survive. Quarantined by the Office of Special Affairs after devastating crusades, they lurk in jagged moonlit castles, cultivating hedge Wizards as livestock and hoarding Erudite in vast vaults.

You’ve got a plan, a crew, and a target. You’re going to hit the largest Erudite vault in the Baronies. Enough to last you ten lifetimes… if you can live long enough to use it.

All that stands in your way are other wizards with the same idea, and the horrific denizens of the Baronies.

Easy pickings, right?

What is Aetherpunk28?

Aetherpunk28 is a post apocalyptic Wizard skirmish game where colleges of Wizards battle one another in the ruins of their world, fighting over what little magic is left after the end of the world.

From the absolute idiots who brought you Turnip on the Docks, we humbly present the return of AETHERFEST, the world’s largest Aetherpunk28 event!

Aetherfest brings the magical chaos of Haggerland to the East coast. Join the search for Erudite, fix your wand bayonets, and be ready.

RULES & FORMAT:

All colleges in the most recent version of the rulebook, as well as all previously released Spellbound Gazettes will be valid for use.

Additional heist rules will be in play during the day, this will be explained in the player pack.

NUMBER OF GAMES:

4 games.

This will consist of 2 games, a break for lunch, then 2 games in the afternoon. If the timer stops and a game is still ongoing, then the current player can finish their current activation. The opponent is then allowed to activate one model. If there is nothing left to activate, then the game ends.

SIZE OF GAMES:

Each player must bring a 50 shilling, valid list. Campaign rules will not be active, rather players will work towards shared goals.
There may be additional rules and/or activities on the day, these will be explained in the morning briefing. This is a friendly event and we strongly encourage people to bring enjoyable lists. This will NOT be a competitive environment.

WHAT TO BRING:

Bring your college, fully assembled. If it’s painted, that’s a bonus, but no stress!
Accessories – Dice, tokens (as required), tape measure and army rules.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND you print a copy of your college’s rules and spells on a separate piece of A4 (as well as filling out a roster sheet), to save time flicking through the rulebook during gameplay.
