Wednesday, July 9, 2014. The Art of Zdzisław Beksiński. Prepare for mind fuckery, because this dude makes Giger look well-adjusted. There's a whole lot more where this came from, the dude is nothing if not prolific. Https:/ www.google.com/search?

From the Ashes: September 2013
http://fromtheashesrpg.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 24, 2013. I'd Be Late To My Own Funeral. I just realized that I made my first post on this blog two years and two days ago. I definitely have not been a prolific poster of late, having only averaged six posts a month this year, but I feel like I'm getting back in stride after a rough beginning of the year. I've collected a good amount of art for From the Ashes, and although I'm struggling to fit the last few pieces of the puzzle into place, it should be coming soonish. Anyone struck su...

Opening Your Game Table. January 13th, 2011. When I first started playing roleplaying games, way back in elementary school, I used to play RPGs. As I got older, of course, gaming became a bit scarcer. There were times when I didn’t have anyone to play with at all. But even when I did, it became tougher to coordinate schedules; tougher to find the free time even in my own schedule. And I figured that was just the way things had to be. As we get older, after all, time becomes more precious. THE WAY WE PLAY.

From the Ashes: July 2013

Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Another masterpiece from the incomparable Jez Gordon, this one depicting the Totalitariants, previously discussed here. Monday, July 15, 2013. My thoughts on Pacific Rim. I'm on vacation this week and wasn't going to post at all, but I saw Pacific Rim this morning, and felt I needed to be the 9,584th person to comment on it. Did Dudebro McGee (does anyone remember the main character's name without checking IMDB? Have to have any sort of character arc at all? Can you honestly say...

From the Ashes: The Crawl: A Nihilistic RPG
http://fromtheashesrpg.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-crawl-nihilistic-rpg.html
Friday, July 11, 2014. The Crawl: A Nihilistic RPG. Time is Entropy, Gravity is Death The Cursed Creed. There is a grinding certainty to life since the Black Sun Ascended. Day over day, those that stand out are measured and reduced by the unrelenting pressure of existence, until a smooth surface is all that remains. Soon even memory fades, and life, such as it is, continues, ultimately undisturbed. The Cursed, as they call themselves, are the blasted remnants of life in a universe of decay. Cannabali...

From the Ashes: Planes, Games and Automobiles
http://fromtheashesrpg.blogspot.com/2014/08/planes-games-and-automobiles.html
Tuesday, August 19, 2014. Planes, Games and Automobiles. Warning: "Back From Gencon" post ahead. So I just got back from Gencon, had a blast, yadda yadda. I actually didn't do a whole lot of gaming - a game of Kobold's Ate My Baby and a game of Orks were the only scheduled games I made. I had Hobomancer scheduled for Saturday at noon, but convinced myself over time that it was actually Sunday at noon, and spaced it completely until around 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The overall impression was that you ...

From the Ashes: August 2014

Saturday, August 30, 2014. Modern Weird Horror Dungeoncrawl: The Movie. So As Above, So Below was not what I expected, at all. The trailer bills it as a straight up horror movie, but what I got was more of a dark fantasy dungeon crawl, set in modern times. If anything, it reminded me of a Lamentations of the Flame Princess negadungeon. Etc) and. there's a bunch of set pieces that I'm totally stealing for my next game, so I won't go into it here. Friday, August 29, 2014. By Steven Wilson, the lead singer ...

From the Ashes: June 2014
http://fromtheashesrpg.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 13, 2014. Post Apocalyptic Theater: The Rover. Ten Years After the Collapse. Looking back on the film, this really sets the tone for the next hour and forty five minutes. This is a sparse movie, cutting the plot and exposition to the bone, leaving a tale as rawboned and gaunt as the characters. It tells you nothing you don't absolutely need to know, like the nature of the Collapse. It doesn't matter. Shit is so far gone that nobody cares about how it got that way anymore. It's not until the ...

From the Ashes: March 2014
http://fromtheashesrpg.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 7, 2014. Wow, I've let this go, haven't I? Yup, it's been a whole month since I posted anything. I've had a post I've been working on, but every time I go to finish it, I just don't have it in me. Regardless, I do have a bit of shameless self-promotion to mention - if you look to your right, you'll see an image of Pulp Mill Press. Libram Mysterium. Click upon it, and be transported to its Drivethru Fiction page. Anyhow, that's all for now. I'm sure I'll pick back up on this soon.
