About the game

What is Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients (Revised Edition)?

This new edition of the classic Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients features a full set of all new, re-designed miniatures for all of the Heroes and Enemies. In fewer pieces, and with better proportions and greater detail, these are some of the best Shadows of Brimstone miniatures produced to date! This set also features a full balance and polish pass on every component of the game. This includes all of the FAQ and corrections since the original release, as well as some revised mechanics, card abilities, Hero Starting Upgrades, Enemy Elite Charts, Town Locations, set icons on the cards, new tokens, and a few brand new cards. The revised and updated Rulebook and Adventure Book are both now unique to this Core Set, and feature painting guides for all of the Heroes and Enemies in the set as well as revised and re-balanced Skill Trees and Upgrade charts for all of the Hero Classes. For veteran Brimstone players, these revised Core Sets are more than beautiful new miniatures, they are a culmination of polish, balance, and feedback from years of adventures all in one place. For new players, there has never been a better time to saddle up and dive into exploring the rich world and unspeakable horrors of Shadows of Brimstone! These Revised Edition Core Sets are fully compatible with all previously released material for Shadows of Brimstone.* A limited run of Shadows of Brimstone Revised Core Sets Upgrade Kit containing the substantively changed elements (113 game cards, 3 Hero Character Sheets , 11 Enemy Record Sheets, 6 Frontier Town Locations, and a counter sheet of 41 tokens) was made available. The revised miniatures can be bought separately. Finally, the revised rulebooks are freely available as PDFs. -description from publisher's website
