Reception edit
Paul Mason reviewed Tales From The Ether for Games International magazine, and gave it 2 stars out of 5, and stated that "Tales from the Ether is a standing still product. It will satisfy those who were sold on the Space: 1889 concept but who lack the imagination to design their own adventures. What it doesn't do is add anything truly creative to the game, or provide much in the way of inspiration for more imaginative referees. Still, it's good value for money."[1]
