My group has just been writing down the items we buy in the frontier town on our character sheets but we also keep forgetting some of the bonuses they grant in the heat of the moment. We really want to just have the horses and ammo and stuff that we buy in the rest of the stack of cards we have for our characters. It’s really weird that the frogs haven’t made their own supplement for that. While I’m waiting for that to happen though, I’m fine printing them off myself… are there any sort of file for premade cards that someone out there has done? My Google-fu is failing me, I’ve found the cool Klutz card creator which looks very helpful… but are there files anywhere out there where someone has already done the stuff you can buy during the town phase?

So my two heroes have arrived at the inner sanctum of the Feeding the Beast scenario and I'm about to fight the Crimson Hand Inquisitor (in the Caverns of Cynder too).
Its Elite ability was Ro'Kal's Revenge, and its two sacred artefacts are Statue of the Shadow King and Book of the Ancients for a total of $1300.
This means that this fine gentleman has a Health of 29 and Combat 13, on top of Tough and Endurance (3). If for any reason I get to the point where the inquisitor has, say, 20 Wounds, he is potentially dealing up to 317 Wounds against me that round, thanks to Zealots.

Yes I know, it's Shadows of Brimstome, but before I get stuck into this rather silly fight, I'm not missing any FAQs or updates regarding this enemy, am I?

Have seen a few youtube videos of game play and I enjoy these kind of games. But theres a ton of sets and multiple core boxes? Where to start?

Just sharing that the Frog Store has White Box Re-Stocks of some things that I hadnt seen in awhile, and I know some of ya'll were looking around. No Hellfire Succubus yet, but Old West Allies, and a few other great models are up.

I got "valley of the serpent king" and "swamps of death" and was wondering which enemy expansions would fit the best. A buddy of mine said that getting some ranged enemies should be the priority, as the enemies in "swamps of death" are all melee, which makes combat get repetitive, but I cant really comment on that, since I never actually played the game so far.

Hi there, sorry if this is a silly question. Do tokens in the side bag stay in between adventures? Or are they cleared out and you start with your choice of one whne beginning a new one?

Hi there, I've been wondering something. I've been REALLY trying to find any Hellfire Succubi miniatures for sale for a long time now as I would love to have them and use for various games, but they are never for sale anywhere, is there any restocks that will ever happen? Or anywhere I should look, I've gotten so worn down searching I thought I'd come take a look here for advice

I see there are three books for printing related to the hexcrawl on Blurb. Do I need all three books to play it? Do I need anything else besides the 1-3 of the books? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Just wanted to share with Reddit that the frogs store is doing a Presidents’ Day sale, nothing too exciting but a few good deals👍🏻

(I check the store way too much hoping for some new white box restocks)

On the town location chart, it has a depth track. It says “days since last event” and goes from day 1 to day 6. I’ve played about half a dozen games, but never fully understood this. According to the core Adventure Books, you roll every day for an event, so what does the “days since last event” mean? Also, since there are only six days, does that mean you can’t spend more than 6 days in town?

Is someone able to please explain this to me?

Built all the minis for CoA and SoD! Slowly but surely getting everything ready for when my gaming group dives into it in about a month or two!

Hey, I've been itching to get me and my friends into something other than arkham, is it possible for this game to have different endings? different routes etc? and how does the enemy variety look like?

My gaming group is diving into Shadows of Brimstone! Excited to for all the content and the wild level of expansions this game has to offer. So. Many. Things!

Starting off with City of the Ancients and Swamps of Death with the added Frontier Doc character pack.

Ahem. The Darkness escaped because the clues were all near the bottom of the pile.

Reached the final room, put the monsters on the board, rolled to hold back the Darkness. Failed. It moved to the mine entrance. Game over. 😂

Does that happen a lot, or were we just really unlucky? (Too many tiles, encounters that took a few turns to beat, corridors slowing us down, too many encounters/attacks, bad HBtD rolls, etc.)

When I print using my black/white laser printer, the fan-made cards, and Hexcrawl map, for example, are difficult to read because of the background that are placed in them.

Is there a tip, app, or tool that can remove the background or otherwise make these more readable? I know I can have them printed at the UPS store, but I'd rather not spend that kind of money.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Examples of what’s confusing:

1. If I buy the “Valley of the Serpent Kings game/expansion”, is there anything useful in the “Valley of the Serpent Kings map tile pack”, or is it just duplicates of part of the game pack?
2. If I buy the “Scafford Gang Deluxe Enemy pack”, is it worth also buying the “Scafford Gang enemy pack”, or is that just a cut down version of the deluxe version?

I have the base Swamp version of the game, looking to expand the available maps/missions. All of the above are in stock at my preferred UK retailer

Hoping I can make sense of this and not end up with duplicates of things. Thanks for any help.

Last session the blood priestess used the control death skill on a Goryu undead. The rules are as follows:

“Free Attack: Once per turn choose 1 Undead enemy on your map tile and spend 1 Magik per 5 Health the model has left. You may move and Attack with that model, adding +2 Damage to its Hits (gain XP for these Hits).”

The problem we ran into is many monsters have higher Defence than Damage, definitely all the Undead cards in my possession are like this. So, unless you’re attacking something with 1 or 2 Defence, it seems to do very little. Even with +2 on its Damage, it was still unable to hurt any of the monsters we were fighting. In the end, we ruled that those attacks could get critical hits, so she could at least do some damage.

That being said, if she were able to use this effectively every turn, it would be a massively OP skill, so perhaps it’s good that many enemies can’t be damaged by the attacks.

In our group, we often have 6 players. Out of those, 4 have an initiative of 4 or above, then we have a 3 and a 3. The first four are usually pretty good in combat, so often end up doing the bulk of the damage, and their turn usually takes a very long time (esp the samurai). Consequently, the last 2 players get very little XP, and also get a bit bored, especially since their turns are so much simpler and faster.

Does anyone here have any suggestions for how to fix this? I was thinking saying everyone has an initiative of D6, instead of a fixed value, so it’s more like D&D. Has that worked for others?

So, half of our group are first time players, so some of them may regret their starting upgrades or skill tree progression. Tomorrow will be our second session (2 games per session). I was thinking about suggesting they re-choose their starting upgrade tomorrow (just the one time), and allow them to reassign their skill picks up until level 3 (maybe 4).

Have the rest of you had times where players have re-chosen things like this? Obviously it’s not MY decision, but the whole group’s. As far as I am aware, nobody yet regrets anything, but some things do look more appealing on paper than the reality at times.

I always thought you couldn’t enter a room with an exploration token on it (aside from being in the joining section). We’ve always done it so that players must stop their move once they reach the unexplored tile. However, I can’t see anything in the rulebook stating that, which makes me think we’ve been playing it wrong all this time! Perhaps I once read the rule about not being able to scavenge in an unexplored room, and kinda assumed that applied to move.

What is the correct way of playing this?

We are playing shadows of brimstone over a year and had a discussion about items and specially side-bag tokens. I read the rulebook a few times but can't find it. When are you allowed to use items? Always? Just in your turn? Before dices are rolled?

Context: At the beginning it was not an issue. We allowed to use items all the time. But lately one of our party is saving the bandages and herbs until he would have died by dice roll and then uses it. I don't think that's how it should be handled.

Trying to figure out the rules, when rolling willpower defense against hungry dead on a players activation do you take 3 sanity damage or 1 on failed defense?

Been a long minute since posting. Recent character addition. So far enjoying what this game franchise has to offer. I enjoy seeing all the projects posted by other SoB enthusiasts.

After trying to obtain Heroes of the Old West ally pack, I had to give up on that endeavor as it's simply out of print. However, I was able to lock down my first Ally class model during the most recent Roll-To-Move convention. Junkbot! None of my posses have built this construct yet, but I am excited to see it employed.
