All Kinds of Fun!
The aether is the substance that exists between planets and other bodies in outerspace. It is the medium through which light and very small amounts of gravity flow. Like a great ocean, aetherspace has endless eddies and currents. Most notably, currents run to and from stars to planet sized bodies that orbit those stars. Stars also produce a solar wind that blows in all directions, not just along the paths of the aetheral currents.
Any aethership takes advantage of these currents as much as possible. Sails are also in use for tactical speeds and maneuvering. The main propulsion is provided by a vestibule, so named because it is a bridge between the world and the space between where all aetherships go. (a sort-of hyperspace) It is a specially crafted room on all ships.

Sycarion Diversions is a sister site of pinakidion.*. pinakidion.* deals more with religious and writing topics. This site houses information on games. Specifically, this has information on card games, board games, and role-playing games. Card games and board games are a collaborative effort with my friend Jeff. Jeff has created and briefly marketed one board game and has idea for lots of others. Role-Playing Games are my bailiwick. I've been playing since I was 10 starting with the Mentzer Basic D&D box. I stopped playing in college, but recently renewed my love for RPGs. In 2005, I discovered the Action! System from Goldrush Games. Since then, I have also found Microlite20 and OpenD6. It's a good time to game.

Part of the reason for this is that rules for games cannot really be copyrighted. However, the main reason is that the value of this site is the community I am a part of. Restrictions on ideas and games can delay innovation, even simple restrictions can be an impediment. Sure, I'd like a link and to be given credit, but that's up to the person.
