Shadows of Brimstone: Swamps of Death

Cooperative dungeon-crawl set in a Western frontier overrun by otherworldly horrors. Players create classic Western archetypes (Law Man, Gunslinger, Saloon Girl, etc.) and form a posse to explore dark mines and hostile swamplands, fighting demons, reptiles and dinosaurs through tactical combat and dice-driven resolution. Exploration is card-driven and modular, producing varied layouts and encounters; players find loot, artifacts and portals that can transport them to the alien swamp world of Jargono. A campaign progression lets players spend loot in frontier towns, gain experience, level up via class-specific upgrade trees, and customize gear and abilities across sessions.
