How were "things done" in the 43+ year old Wayland Superior Street AD&D 1st Edition Campaign? Well here are the appendices from the WSS Campaign Compendium explaining all. Now available for the first time and for free (donations welcome) with arrangement from DM MDM and Mythopeia Games Publications! Players of the original AD&D will find this insightful for their current games while however it reads as a historical genealogy of the gaming history of the small town of Wayland and the genre influences monumental to all RPGs of the 80's, 90, 00's, 2010's, and today. These appendices will be updated yearly as that campaign moves towards its 50th anniversary. 

In 2026 our team voted to follow six themes. Sci-fi was one of the six, and the broad nature of the theme has been a blessing to our staff. Each month, we tap into the dreams of our fans and artists to create a vision of things yet to come.

Space, Apocalypse, Alien Worlds and Hellish Nightmares are all friends and frequently visited in the Sci-fi theme. Project Daedalus is at core of the them.Thank you to all the fans of this series.

Critical Hits & Fumbles

Urdunn, The world that is

The Mists of Avalhyr

Duendra Seelia was born in the Lands of Bavidirian, a region known for its emerald forests, silver rivers, and ancient groves whispered to be older than recorded history. Her family lived on the outskirts of the Verdantwood, a massive forest that stretches across the heart of Bavidirian. From childhood, Duendra felt the pull of nature more strongly than any human she knew. Animals approached her without fear, plants seemed to bloom in her presence, and even the wind carried her laughter deeper into the woods.

When she was twelve, she wandered into the Grove of Elders, a sacred place where druids commune with the spirits of nature. There, she encountered a glowing white stag — a creature said to appear only to those chosen by the land itself. The stag bowed to her, and in that moment, Duendra’s path was set. She devoted her life to the forest, learning its secrets, its magic, and its ancient rhythms.

She built a small dwelling deep within Verdantwood, living among the trees, rivers, and creatures. She visited towns only when necessary — to trade herbs, deliver healing salves, or gather news. Civilization felt loud and heavy to her, but she respected its place in the world. Still, her heart belonged to the wild.

As she grew in power, Duendra witnessed increasing threats: poachers hunting sacred beasts, dark cults corrupting the land, and demons slipping through cracks in the world. She realized she could no longer protect Bavidirian alone. When the Dungeoneer’s Guild sought skilled adventurers to take contracts against rising evils, Duendra stepped forward. She joined not for glory or coin, but to stop those who would harm the land and its inhabitants.

Now, she walks between civilization and wilderness — a guardian of nature, a hunter of corruption, and a powerful druidess whose staff glows with the pure white light of the ancient grove.

Our team voted for 2026 to make Catacombs as a primary focus. This set is the result of that choice and our continuing effort to expand our Catacombs terrain and miniatures. We made our bones with Catacombs and it was one of the first sets that brought us fans. The work will continue, at least until we receive an acceptance letter from from the École des Mines de Paris.

Thank you for your support of Aether Studios. We can’t tell you how much we appreciate the place you’ve saved for us at your table.

In Villains of the Multiverse, we take villainous archetypes and tropes from popular culture and give them one possible interpretation for the Pathfinder 1E Roleplaying Game.

In this volume, we look at 12 super villains who are part of the rogues gallery for a masked vigilante who is a Dedicated Champion of “Dark City” -- a failed mega-metropolis teeming with corruption and crime.

Each character is built according to standard NPC rules with gear appropriate for an NPC of their CR. They are presented at various stages of their careers -- between 6th and 17th levels -- but it should be a relatively easy task for a GM to increase or decrease each character’s level, or to otherwise adjust a character’s build as they see fit.

You’ll find the following Crime Lords:

• Enigmatic Empiricist: This elf investigator like to leave puzzling clues for their enemies, often luring them into a trap where the Enigmatic Empiricist holds the upper hand.
• Earth-Bound Synthesist: This synthesist summoner wears their eidolon like a second skin. Using stealth and subtlety, they get close to their target, then transform into a earthy brute to pummel their enemies and burn them with acid.
• Wizard of Crime: This gnome wizard fancies themself the future head of all organized crime in Dark City. For now, they work hard to use their magic to pull off capers and prove themselves against the city’s vigilantes.
• Lucky Gangster: This criminal believes so strongly in the power of luck that they often leave their decisions to chance—gaining a luck bonus to their course of action if they go along with the flip of the coin.
• Fear-Mongering Toxitician: This half-orc mesmerist terrorizes their enemies not only with their horrible presence but also with special alchemical injections that weaken their victims’ minds.
• Whimsical Bloodrager: Dressed like a motley fool, this fey-influenced bloodrager dances across the battlefield, mystifying their enemies while they beat them to death with a comically large earth breaker.
• Frozen Sorcerer: Cursed with competing bloodlines, this sorcerer’s mind and soul is conflicted—but they remain determined to blast their enemies into a new Ice Age!
• Clandestine Cat Burglar: This catfolk burglar-for-hire has worked for many of Dark City’s crime lords, but owes allegiance to none of them. As a free agent, the Clandestine Cat Burglar might pop up anywhere, and might even be persuaded to help the heroes instead of the villains—if the price is right!
• Devil Clan Ninja Lord: Having lingered in the shadows for centuries, the secretive Devil Clan is responsible for more political assassinations and machinations than many people realize. Rumored to be impossible to kill, its powerful Ninja Lord secretly pulls many of the strings that keep the Dark City underworld operating.
• Green-Thumbed Seducer: Beholden to an inscrutable patron of plant life, this witch has declared war on all other forms of life. Using their magical abilities, they control the minds of their enemies, poison them, and smother them in wild plant life.
• Big Mutagenic Brawler: Raised in the fighting arenas, this half-orc brawler learned to gain every advantage they could in order to win the fight. Using advanced alchemical knowledge, they learned to enhance their body to its physical peak.
• Cackling Fey Criminal: This master rogue is a true agent of chaos in Dark City. A fey trickster with the ability to utilize witch hexes, they unleash their minions in unexpected ways, sometimes gaining wealth and power, but always causing mischief and terror.

Main Engineering

I love the sound of the engine core in the morning! Whether it's a low thrum, or more of a deep throb, every engineer worth their salt is going to have their favourite, even as they work around the clock to make sure the ejectors remain online, install the self-sealing stem bolts, and swap out those ever-fickle isolinear chips. Fully animated and available in two additional variants, with a containment breach in one and a full failure in the other (red alert!), this map will have your players wishing they'd reversed the polarity!

All are hooked up and ready to play in FVTT.

What's Included:

• 3 .jpg maps 40x40 (4000 x 4000)
• 3 .webm animated maps
• Direct link to install the Foundry VTT file (from within foundry)

FAQ:

Do these maps work with Roll20/Fantasy Grounds/XXX virtual tabletop?

You can import the JPG and WEBM files into any system you use to play your games online that allows them, however, the LoS I have setup only works with FVTT. If you use FGU, look for me on DMsGuild!
