Who are the Etherscouts?
Etherscouts treat creativity as an adventure. We use guided roleplaying games to explore our imaginations, develop our stories, and discover new creative territories.
Through creation, freedom. Through story, truth. Through community, understanding.
Each Handbook teaches a different approach to storytelling and creation through structured gameplay. Some focus on character development, others on worldbuilding or narrative structure. Each is guided by a unique creative philosophy, distilled into playable form.
Whether you’re a writer building characters, a game master crafting worlds, or someone who just loves creative exploration, the Handbooks meet you where you are and take you somewhere new.
The Handbooks
Every Handbook is a “playable creative method,” a roleplaying game designed as a creative tool. Each one guides you through a different approach inspired by a unique creative philosophy.
You bring the curiosity. The Etherscout Handbook brings the journey.
Featured Handbook: Waywright
A solo companion game for Minecraft explorers who want deeper stories.
Waywright transforms your Minecraft gameplay into narrative adventure. As you build, explore, and survive, the Handbook guides you through telling amazing stories in worlds grounded in their own character.
Play Minecraft. Play Waywright alongside it. Hear the stories you didn’t know were waiting to be told.
