This is pretty much impossible to read. 80%+ of the material is jammed into tables. Table color changes for most sections meaning it looks like a rainbow threw up in it. The tables are also unreadably formatted. Here is a sample of text from a column formatted the same as it is in the PDF:

Choos e a Specie s. A creatur e of that species

I tried to read the material but honestly I could find no redeeming qualities to inspire me to keep going.

I feel that for a public playtest, the Aetherianica players guide in particular has been given a lot of loving attention to detail, including many pages already in colour. I note that previously, previews had already been put out for readers, so this package is the latest in a meticulous, deliberate effort to build this roleplaying system. Thanks, Kel and Lok (Dark Spire), for bringing this game to us.
