About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're into the dark and dangerous vibe of Shadows of Brimstone, get ready for more trouble! Dead Man's Bounty is a supplement that adds 15 brand-new Gear cards, inspired by the spoils found on outlaws and prospectors who met a grim fate (or were betrayed by their own buddies). Think items you'd find on a guy who had a bad time in the Wild West, but with that signature Brimstone horror twist.

What's good in here? You'll find dead man's boots, canteens to endure desert thirst, shotguns that make a bang (and a mess), vests for a bit of protection, cursed dice for that extra bit of luck (or bad luck), and even a mining lantern that helps you re-roll those 'hold back the darkness' checks. For those who love collecting thematic gear and adding extra spice to their adventures, this little pack is a lifesaver. It doesn't change the core rules of the base game, but it boosts the variety of what your heroes can find and use.

It's one of those extras that, while not essential, adds a special charm and more options for those already immersed in the Shadows of Brimstone universe. If you want more loot and more stories to tell about how you acquired that specific item, this is your go-to.
