Description from the publisher: On the far edges of the Western deserts near Brimstone lies a desolate region known as The Badlands. Few dare to explore out that far as the tales of burning sands, rampaging creatures crazed for Dark Stone, and massive Void Twisters are said to spell certain death to any foolhardy enough to try. But there are also stories of great riches buried in the Earth, otherworldly cities of gold and ancient statues made from pure Dark Stone… a fortune beyond reckoning, just waiting to be discovered! High risk, but potentially higher reward. The Badlands await! This 15-card Game Supplement for Shadows of Brimstone introduces the first Adventure Card to the game – The Badlands, as well as a host of exciting new Gear, Artifacts, and Encounters themed for exploring this dangerous but rewarding region. With the new Badlands Adventure Card, any Mission can be played in the Badlands to add extra Danger as well as extra rewards to your Adventure!
