Prepare for total immersion into the dark and brutal world of Conan with 'Worms of the Earth', an expansion that throws you headfirst into a Pictish revenge against the Roman Empire. Inspired by the eponymous Robert E. Howard short story, this pack delivers a new adventure that strays a bit from the usual, focusing on Bran Mak Morn, a Pictish king and warrior seeking retribution with touches of sorcery and ancient evils. The campaign is designed for solo or cooperative play, allowing you and your friends to dive into this intense narrative. Featuring 10 new miniatures to bring characters and settings to life, 4 new hero sheets to expand your gameplay options, and 3 brand-new solo/coop scenarios, the expansion promises hours of exploration and combat. The action point mechanic gives you control over your heroes' movements and actions, while dice rolling adds that spice of unpredictability to encounters. Area movement and variable hero powers ensure a tactical and unique experience each game. It's a great addition for those who already enjoy the base game and want more stories and challenges in the Sword and Sorcery world, especially if you appreciate the more literary and dark tone of the original tales. Moderate language dependency means translated materials might be needed to fully enjoy the experience.
