About the game

What you do in a play session

Imagine the life of a drifter, wandering the plains alone, without a destination or friends. In the Shadows of Brimstone: Drifter Hero Pack, that's exactly the role you step into. The Drifter isn't your typical shining hero; he's a scruffy, reluctant veteran gunslinger who knows exactly how to handle things when the chips are down. The catch? He's a total danger magnet. Wherever he goes, darkness and the most sinister creatures seem to sniff him out, making his life an endless cycle of fighting evil.

This pack expands the base game's possibilities by introducing the 'Drifter' Hero Class. He brings an intriguing supernatural element—these characters live much longer than normal humans, but they carry the curse of always being in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you enjoy characters with depth, bringing the melancholy of someone who has seen it all and avoids attachments to avoid pain, the Drifter is the perfect addition to your group of survivors.

Regarding components, the pack is quite generous. You get highly detailed Drifter miniatures (both male and female versions) in high-quality resin, ensuring a strong presence on the table. Additionally, the kit comes with everything needed to start playing immediately: a double-sided character sheet, a specific rulesheet, the upgrade chart to evolve your hero, starting upgrade cards, and the basic gear required to face the horrors of the American West. It's the ideal addition for those looking to diversify combat strategies and add more narrative flavor to their cooperative campaigns, bringing in a combat specialist who, despite his loneliness, is essential for the group's survival.
