About

Flying Frog Productions Shadows Of Brimstone Adventures Kickstarter 1 Flying Frog Productions Shadows Of Brimstone Adventures Kickstarter 2

This Kickstarter features 2 brand new, stand-alone Shadows of Brimstone Adventure Sets – Gates of Valhalla and Valley of the Serpent Kings!

Norse Vikings and Spanish Conquistadors  are some of history’s most ambitious and cunning explorers, setting out  with sailing ships on voyages of discovery and conquest into uncharted territory. Each of these sets focuses on a new group of Explorer-themed Hero characters, venturing out on expeditions into lands that have been tainted by Dark Stone, and journeying through fantastic gateways into alien Worlds.

Each of these sets is fully compatible with all previous Shadows of Brimstone material, but can also be played on its own as a stand-alone Adventure Set!

Valley of the Serpent Kings

In the Valley of the Serpent Kings  Adventure Set, players take on the role of a group of Spanish Conquistadors, exploring the dark halls and stone ramparts of a Spanish Fort  that has fallen into Darkness, overrun by demons and creatures.

As a Team of Conquistador Heroes, you can play as the fearless El Capitan, leading his men with boundless ambition, the classic Explorer, guiding the expedition through the jungle swamps, the armored Soldier, a front line fighter armed with a heavy crossbow to skewer all but the toughest of Enemies, or the agile and deadly Duelist, fencing with twin blades and blurring the line between dance and death.

New Enemies include Drowned Dead, lost explorers that rise up from the watery depths to take their revenge on the living, Serpentmen Archers, keeping their distance to fire a deadly volley of Dark Stone arrows at the Heroes, Temple Guard, a new breed of brutish Serpentmen that defend the temples of the Serpent Kings with savage ferosity, and the mighty Croxin Beast, a massive reptilian creature unleashed by the Serpentmen as a beast of war!

This set also features brand new material for the Swamps of Jargono  OtherWorld (first introduced in the Swamps of Death Core Set), a murky jungle swamp filled with giant insects, carnivorous plants, and vicious Serpentmen. The Heroes will explore a new region of Jargono – the Valley of the Serpent Kings, with new Map Tiles, Encounters, Artifacts, World abilities, and Enemies to battle, letting you explore the Swamps for the first time, or expanding your existing collection.

Gates of Valhalla

In Gates of Valhalla, players take on the role of a group of Norse Vikings, exploring the icy crags and snowy forests of the Norse Lands  filled with snarling beasts and mythological creatures  emboldened by the power of the Dark Stone.

As a Team of Viking Heroes, you can play as the stalwart Jarl  Chieftan, leading his clan from the front of the pack, the classic Raider, armed with shield and axe to pillage and plunder, the frenzied Berserker, unleashing his bloodthirsty Rage in a flurry of death, or the Huscarl honor guard, firing her Viking Bow before charging valiantly into the fray.

New Enemies include Trolls, beastly creatures that regenerate even the most grievous of wounds while hurling large stones and tearing at the Heroes with brutal claws, Gremians, a horde of mischievous little goblins that swarm the Heroes to slice and slash and claw and bite, Centurions, robotic soldiers armed with power swords and shields to fight off intruders, and the terrifying Frost Giant, a towering behemoth that smashes the Heroes with his tree trunk club before charging across the field of battle in a frothing frenzy!

This set also features brand new material for the Targa Plateau OtherWorld (first introduced in the City of the Ancients Core Set), an ancient alien city, frozen and abandoned for millennia save for the robotic constructs that awaken to defend the icy halls. The Heroes will explore a new region of Targa – The Library, with new Map Tiles, Encounters, Artifacts, World abilities, and Enemies to battle, letting you explore the frozen city for the first time, or expanding your existing collection.

What is Shadows of Brimstone?

Shadows of Brimstone™  is a fully cooperative, dungeon crawl, adventure game, where a group of courageous Heroes explore a world overrun with unspeakable horrors. First appearing as a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign in 2013, the original Shadows of Brimstone™ Core boxes were set in the Old West. In 2016, the Forbidden Fortress™ Core box appeared as a second Kickstarter campaign, introducing elements of Feudal Japan to the Shadows of Brimstone game series.

The  game supports 1-4 players (or up to 5-6 players with additional Heroes), has a standard game time of 2-3 hours, and includes a campaign system for keeping your Hero characters from game to game, finding new items on your adventures and gaining new skills and abilities as you go up in level. You can also visit a settlement between adventures to re-stock and re-supply before setting out on  your next mission, and during the game, you can find the swirling portals that the terrifying enemies are coming from, and you can step through those gateways to continue your adventures on the other side, in another dimension or alien world. The map tiles are all double-sided, with the Earth-based environment on one side and an alien world on the other side.

One of the main features of Shadows of Brimstone™  is that all of the players work together against the game itself, and that everything is card-based and dynamically generated as you play (the encounters, enemies, board layout, etc.), meaning that the game never plays the same way twice.

Flying Frog Productions Shadows Of Brimstone Adventures Kickstarter 21

Team Heroes

With the new Team Hero Classes introduced in these Brimstone Adventure Sets, all of the Heroes of the same Hero Class (Conquistador or Viking) share the same basic set of abilities, but each player chooses which of the 4 starting Upgrades for that Hero Class to use, giving them a Sub-Class – A Conquistador  may be an Explorer, Duelist, El Capitan, or Soldier; while a Viking may be a Jarl chieftan, Raider, Berserker, or Huscarl. This defines your basic character stats – how much Health and Sanity you have, how good you are at hitting enemies with your weapons, how good you are at solving puzzles or dodging fiendish traps, etc. It also gives you a unique starting ability and defines your basic starting Gear – do you start with a War Axe, a shield and sword, Dueling Blades? Each Hero also starts with a Random Personal Item that gives them a bit more ‘character’.

One other exciting element to the new Team Heroes is the Team Hero Abilities deck. At the start of each Adventure, the players draw one card from the Viking Team Abilities deck for each Viking Hero in the party, and adds it to a shared pool of cards. Each of these cards is a special ability that can be used once during the Adventure, and generally gives all Heroes of that type a bonus.  You must choose as a team when best to use them. In this way, the more Vikings you have on a team, the more Team Ability cards you get to draw at the start of each Adventure to help all Viking Heroes! This works the same way for the Conquistadors, and allows for thematic and heroic teamwork between all the characters in the Hero Party that are of the same Hero Class.

Flying Frog Productions Shadows Of Brimstone Adventures Kickstarter 22

Flying Frog Productions Shadows Of Brimstone Adventures Kickstarter 24

Cursed Eternal – One of the twelve crew of Ponce De Leon that explored the wilds to discover the Fountain of Youth, the Cursed Eternals succeeded in their quest for immortality, but at a grim cost. By drinking the Fountain’s water, they were granted eternal life, but live out their days in a constant state of withering away, gaunt and pale. Only by cutting down Enemies with his tainted Ghost Blade, and stealing the life essence from his foes, can the Cursed Eternal hold his deterioration at bay.

Flying Frog Productions Shadows Of Brimstone Adventures Kickstarter 25

Trederran Strike Team Expansion – The Trederran Strike Team is an elite fighting squad of alien special forces soldiers, deployed on dangerous missions by the High Command of their Trederran Nation.

Game Miniatures

The Miniatures included in Shadows of Brimstone: Gates of Valhalla  and Shadows of Brimstone: Valley of the Serpent Kings  are multi-part HIPS hard plastic. They come on frames and do require some assembly. We have taken great care to make the assembly in as few pieces per model as possible, while still getting a high level of detail and fantastic, dynamic poses. This also brings an aspect of Hobby to the game as many players find it fun to customize and paint their figures.

Shadow of Brimstone Rules

Forbidden Fortress Rules

How Does the Game Play?

Shadows of Brimstone is a fully-cooperative, Dungeon Crawl adventure game! That means that all of the players form a Hero team (or you can play solo) and are working together against the game itself. You set out on your expeditions exploring a torch-lit Spanish Fort that has been overrun with creatures and demons, or the snowy forests of the Norse Lands, filled with mythological beasts!  The team can take on different missions from the Adventure Book, each with unique set up and victory conditions. You may be searching for a sacred artifact, stolen from a nearby settlement by demons and carried off into the darkness, or you might be tasked with sealing off portals that unspeakable creatures are pouring out of!

1-4 Players (or up to 5-6 Players if Adventure Sets are combined together or with additional Hero Expansions) create their Heroes by selecting a Hero Class and Starting Upgrade to play, such as the Conquistador Explorer or Viking Raider.

Once your team is ready to go, the players roll (or decide) what Mission they have taken on and the game begins! Each Hero is represented by a figure on the game board and all of the figures are placed on the Fortress Entrance Map Tile to start the game. All of the Card Decks are shuffled, each Hero gets 1 Grit Token, and the Depth Track is setup with the Hero Party’s marker on the entrance and the Darkness marker deep in the shadows (at the opposite end of the track). Players then draw their Team Ability cards to add to their shared pool for the Hero Party.

At the start of each turn, the Hero with the Light Source (Lantern or Torch) rolls 2 dice to Hold Back the Darkness! This roll needs to be equal to or greater than the number listed on the current stage of the Depth Track. If the roll is passed, the Heroes carry on without delay. If the roll is failed, the Darkness moves one step up the track toward escaping from the shadows! But beware, if the Darkness marker ever reaches the entrance space on the Depth Track, it has escaped, and the mission is failed. As an added element of danger, if the Hold Back the Darkness roll is ever doubles (1-1, 3-3, etc), this instead triggers a random event from the Depth Event Chart equal to that number!

Heroes now Activate in order of Initiative, with the highest going first. During a Hero’s Activation, they roll a die and may move up to the amount rolled. If a 1 is rolled, the Hero also recovers an extra Grit Token. Grit Tokens are used for a number of things in game. A Grit Token may be discarded to Re-roll any number of your dice just rolled (though a die may generally not be Re-rolled more than once), or a Grit Token may be discarded to move an extra die roll worth of spaces during your Movement. A Grit Token may also be used to activate certain powerful character abilities.

Flying Frog Productions Shadows Of Brimstone Adventures Kickstarter 57

After moving, a Hero may attack if there are any Enemies on the board, or if not in a Fight, they may Explore by either Scavenging the area for anything of value (rolling 3 dice and drawing a card from the Scavenge deck for each 6 rolled), or Looking Through a Doorway, if standing on an open exit of a Map Tile. To Look Though a Doorway, you must be in one of the puzzle-cut half spaces of an open exit from the map tile you are on. You may look down the hall and draw a random Map Card to place the next Map Tile, connecting it to the doorway you are looking through. Each time a new Map Tile is placed, you must also move the Hero Party’s marker one step forward on the Depth Track, as the Hero Team delves deeper into the unknown. This is important because as the Heroes go deeper into the shadows, it becomes harder and harder to Hold Back the Darkness (the number required to roll gets higher, the deeper the Hero Party has gone).

Newly placed Map Tiles are always either a Room or a Passage. Passage Tiles have open doorways on all ends and can often split the path in front of the Heroes. They do not, however, contain Encounters for the Heroes to deal with. Room Tiles, on the other hand, always come into play with an Exploration Token on them. As long as there is an unrevealed Exploration Token on a Map Tile, Heroes may not Scavenge or Look Through a Doorway on that Map Tile (you can’t explore further than that room with the unrevealed token). At the end of a full Turn (after all Heroes have been Activated), if there are one or more Heroes in a Room with an Exploration Token, that token is revealed!

While exploring, Heroes can find large, swirling portals that the Enemies are coming through to attack, and they can step through those gateways into a crazy alien World, continuing their adventures on the other side! All of the Map Tiles are double-sided, with the Earth-based world on one side and an alien OtherWorld on the back side. In Gates of Valhalla, the alien World included is the Targa Plateau – Library! In Valley of the Serpent Kings, the OtherWorld is the Swamps of Jargono – Valley of the Serpent Kings. Stepping through the portal, the Heroes find themselves in the halls of a dark archive deep within a frozen ancient alien city, or the sprawling tribal temples and crumbling stone ruins covered in vines and sunken into the water of the murky swamps.

Once the Heroes have reached their objective for the mission being played, they will often have one final Epic battle with an Enemy boss to complete the Adventure!

Between Adventures, the Heroes can travel back to their Expedition Camp to re-stock and re-supply, having a mini-Adventure in Camp before setting out on the next Mission.

Shadows of Brimstone has a built in campaign system allowing the players to keep their Heroes from game to game, finding cool new Gear and Artifacts that they can use in their continuing Adventures, while gaining experience and going up in level to unlock new skills chosen from their Class-Specific Skill Tree.

Shipping

Flying Frog Productions Shadows Of Brimstone Adventures Kickstarter 59

This project is US, EU, Canada, UK, and Australia Friendly Shipping!

Our intent is to ship all Pledge Rewards and Stretch Goals for this KS project as a single shipping Wave.

However, all extra Add-On  items (added individually beyond your Pledge Level/Stretch Goals) will  be shipped separately from the main Pledge Rewards/Stretch Goals, and  will  likely ship AFTER the main Pledge Rewards/Stretch Goals.

Extra Add-on items are US, EU, UK, Canada, and Australia Friendly.  They will be packed and delivered to our distribution centers in the  EU, UK, Canada, and Australia (at our expense) and then shipped to individual Backer addresses from within the EU, UK, Canada, and  Australia for Backers in those regions.

Shipping and handling  charges are not included in the pledge levels. We will be charging shipping after the Kickstarter ends, based on the actual shipping and handling costs.  We will collect this via our pledge manager after the campaign ends. We will ship your rewards (at our cost) to our distribution centers in the  US (in Washington State), Australia, UK, Canada, and the EU. Backers  will then be responsible for shipping charges from the most appropriate distribution center to your address.

The following is a list of rough estimates for shipping a standard game package for the Wolf, Lion, Explorer, and Warlord Pledge Levels.  Keep in mind these are just estimates, and costs may rise based on weight increases from unlocked stretch goals, or fluctuating carrier rates.

For  our international backers, we plan on shipping from our international hubs in the UK/EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong.  (USA  backers and ROW will ship from Washington State, USA.)

We will do our best to get you your rewards by the estimated shipping date, but any number of things (manufacturing delays, shipping delays, customs, etc.) can get in the way of that.  We cannot promise that you will receive all pledge rewards before some or all of it is available at conventions, online promotions, or retail.  We hope that you will take into consideration that you are getting a better price and exclusives for backing this KS Campaign, but if that is not something you’re okay with, please do not back this project. Thank you for understanding.

Pledges of $25 or more will get access to the Pledge Manager and will be able to upgrade their pledge and add Add-Ons.   Upgrading pledges in the Pledge Manager will be more expensive than it is to back at a pledge level during the campaign.

REFUND POLICY

We can fully refund your pledge within 14 days of the campaign’s end, including fees.  After that, you may receive a reduced refund, minus Kickstarter fees and other payment processing fees, which may include Pledge Manager fees once the Pledge Manager closes.  Once your package has begun being packed, a refund is no longer possible.

All PayPal refunds 14 days or more after the campaign’s end will also have any PayPal fees deducted.

Risks and challenges

As an established game company, Flying Frog Productions has been making high quality, thematic, fun games for over ten years! We launched our first Kickstarter Campaign in October of 2013 for the original Shadows of Brimstone, and another for Forbidden Fortress in November of 2016. We have been through the process, working out the pipeline and navigating the hurdles. Those projects were enormous, with many moving parts, and logistical challenges. We have learned many lessons from those experiences that will go into making this new Kickstarter project even better! The success of the first Kickstarter campaign allowed us to hire additional staff in our studio and find new manufacturing contacts who can produce higher quality miniatures and components. With the Forbidden Fortress campaign, we streamlined the process and the project went much smoother.

Miniatures – We have been producing HIPS hard plastic, multi-part figures for over 6 years now, working with several factories to refine the pipeline and process. The results are figures that keep getting better and better detail and quality, both in the tooling of the molds and the sculpting of the figures. The miniatures in these Brimstone Adventures Sets are some of our absolute best to date, and we are very excited for backers to see the level of detail on these figures.

Delivery Timeline – The original Shadows of Brimstone Kickstarter production and shipping ran very long, but we learned a lot. The Forbidden Fortress Kickstarter production ran a little bit long, but processing and shipping had a very fast turnaround time (we shipped pre-packed boxes directly from China to distribution hubs around the world). We expect the production and shipping of this campaign to go even smoother as we have refined the process.

Kommentare

  • Obwohl ich mir als Minecart Backer beim ersten Ks ziemlich verarscht vorgekommen bin, habe ich doch letztendlich alles wie versprochen erhalten. Die Qualität ist super, das Spiel auch genial. Also bin ich auch hier wieder all-in dabei. Schade nur das ich den letzten KS ausgelassen habe, aber da war der Frust noch zu gross.

    • Das verstehe ich sehr gut, beim ersten war ich auch mit dem Minecart dabei und den zweiten hatte ich zuerst ausgeslassen. Kurz vor Schluß bin ich aber doch noch mit einem Late Pledge reingegangen und habe es nicht bereut. Das Spiel macht echt Laune und bietet unglaublich viel Abwechslung.

  • NEIN Danke, ich hab an Flying Frog Games kein Interesse mehr, meine KS Erfahrungen mit den reichen mir.
    Ich habe glaube ich alles bekommen aber erst nach 3,5 Jahren. Kiste steht nach einmal anschauen im Keller.

  • Bin wohl mit dabei, hoffe das sie die Probleme mit dem Kickstarter mittlerweile im Griff haben.

  • Habe ich das richtig gesehen dass die Hartplastik Minis ausliefern? War das schon immer so / für alle Miniaturen so?

    • Ja, das ist seit dem ersten Kickstarter schon so. Einige Sachen wie die alternativen Geschlechterversionen der Helden kommen zum Teil auch in Resin.
