In the Ashes

"In the Ashes" is a revolutionary action RPG adventure played within a book, using only a pencil.

You've read that right: "In the Ashes" is not played with miniatures placed on tiles like other board games, but everything is played within the book. My intention over the past few years has been to distill the entire experience provided by the great thematic-narrative games into a compact and portable product, yet with great depth in mechanics, story, tactics, and atmosphere.

"In the Ashes" can be seen as a solo dungeon crawler with an epic campaign, legendary battles, and a dramatic story that will provide you with memorable plays anywhere, all within the confines of this book.

The experience of the great thematic-narrative games, in book format.

This means that by drawing and marking on the paper:

You'll move your character across the board to fight against sinister enemies.

You'll play action cards to create spectacular combos.

You'll level up your character to specialize in forbidden disciplines.

You'll find legendary items to enhance your abilities.

You'll make difficult decisions that will affect the story.

You'll tempt fate by applying sources of controlled chance to actions and behaviors.

You'll battle powerful bosses with unique mechanics and cunning intelligence.
