Ashland
 |
The World Burned.
The World Froze.
Some Survived.
This is their Story.
Ashland is the gripping new RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world unlike any you've ever seen before. It is the world three centuries from now¸ but it isn't the world you know¸ or even the world you would recognize. A cataclysmic volcanic event¸ and its terrible aftermath¸ has left humanity with less than one percent of its numbers across the face of the planet. Players become one of these survivors¸ descendents of the few that somehow made it through what they simply call "The Blaze".
Ashland gives you three different divergent forms of humanity¸ eight different archetypes¸lifepaths¸ complete with three different upbringings¸ seven communities¸ and ninty-plus talents to flesh out your characters and describe who and what you are in this broken and dyiing world.
In Ashland¸ "survival" takes on many forms; from physical survival in the wastes¸ to the spiritual and intellectual survival of the few remaining cities in the soul-crushing grasp of tyranny.
"Dying in the ashlands is easy. Finding something to live for¸ that's a life's work." - Ashland proverb.
