Welcome back again to this update and expansion to the HexCrawl Shadows

of Brimstone™ homebrew variant. I want to thank all the members of the

BoardGameGeek Brimstone community that have contacted me since the first set
of HexCrawl material went out with words of support and encouragement. This
took quite a bit longer than I intended, but was spurred on by the release of the
fantastic Frontier Town expansion. It was impossible to not see the potential for
HexCrawl there along with some other ideas for an expansion and update.
Much Thanks to Flying Frog Productions for their work in producing
Shadows of Brimstone and all the great expansions that have been following.
Here’s looking forward to what Adventures await.

 OVERVIEW
HexCrawl is an expansion to Shadows of Brimstone™
that takes your Adventures out from the Mines and Other
Worlds that the Heroes are used to exploring and out into the
wild, untamed region around the ruins of Brimstone. Heroes
will be able to travel around these lands and visit new Towns
in search of lucrative Jobs and dangerous Missions.

Set Up
Due to the nature of HexCrawl, this game is geared
towards players wanting a more long-term campaign
experience, possibly with some RPG character building added
in. Depending on the campaign style the group decides to
go with, the Posse may want to begin in a Town, rather than 1 2 D6
starting right off on a Mine Adventure. You can either roll up Random
randomly on the Town Chart or just pick a Town to start in. 6 3 Hex

When the starting Town is decided upon, the group will
also want to go through the Town Setup process (see the 5 4
‘Frontier Towns’ section later on for more info). However,
you may want to give the group some starting gold if
beginning a campaign in a Town, otherwise just begin a
Mission as normal.

 JOBS BOARD (D100)
The Jobs Board is used while in Town when looking for extra work. Not everyone is always going out on Epic Missions
down in nightmarish Mines looking for Dark Stone all the time, are they? Life still goes on above ground and people need to
make ends meet. These can range from mundane, yet strangely dangerous, manual labor Jobs all the way up to deliveries, hit
contracts, bounties, negotiations, and can sometimes lead into Missions themselves. Be careful though, as sometimes Mandatory!
Jobs will appear that you will be forced into and must complete or suffer the consequences of Failure. Jobs are halfway between
short encounters and full-fledged Missions and provide the Heroes with opportunities to travel around the map and get stuff done.

TERRAIN ENCOUNTERS (12:D20)

Terrain Encounters are rolled for when Heroes perform the Search action while on an Overland Map Hex. After the Posse
Searches, they’ll draw an Exploration Token and if it’s an Encounter, Encounter 2x, or Growing Dread Encounter, they’ll have
a Terrain Encounter. Terrain Encounters will be a bit more thematic and match up with the Posse’s position on the map, you’ll
look up the type of Terrain the Posse is situated on and roll on the relevant Terrain Encounter Chart. These could also be used in
place of Wilderness Encounters if you wanted to, though it’s not recommended.

WILDERNESS ENCOUNTERS (D100:[100])

Wilderness Encounters were included with previous versions of HexCrawl and they’re still here (with slight tweaks here and
there). These are similar to Travel Hazards you might roll in the vanilla game of Shadows of Brimstone, but these add slightly
more depth and can sometimes have simple branching paths depending on how the Posse decides to proceed. The Wilderness
Encounter Charts are broken up between the Wilderness Encounters themselves and the Wilderness Encounter Results.

5
 JOBS BOARD
Heroes may now visit the Jobs Board to look for what are mostly short-duration mini-missions that take place on the
Overland map, though some may be more time-intensive than others. The Short Story campaign style requires that the Posse
complete Jobs in order to move the story along, though in the Mine Blast campaign, they’re not required. Some Jobs may even
lead into Missions on their own, while others will take place as optional conditions that can be completed alongside other Jobs
and/or Missions.

 TERRAIN ENCOUNTERS
Terrain Encounters are rolled up depending on the the type of terrain the Posse is located above. So if the group is on a
Forest hex, they would roll up a Terrain Encounter from the ‘Forest Terrain’ table, or on a Mountain on the ‘Mountain Terrain’
table, and so on and so forth. While these are meant to be used in the game differently than Wilderness Encounters, your group
might opt to use these in place of the normal Wilderness Encounters, though there’s likely to be more flipping back and forth
in the book to find the right tables.

Wilderness vs Terrain Encounters Encounters

Wilderness Encounters are checked for at the beginning If an Exploration Token with the

whether you want them to or not, Terrain Encounters are
slightly more intentional in that the Posse has some degree of
control, though not much, over what types of encounters they
run into. You may find some terrain more hospitable than
others, though Growing Dread Encounters are always bad.

 WILDERNESS ENCOUNTERS
Wilderness Encounters were introduced in earlier versions of HexCrawl and they remain largely unchanged this time
around as well. Previously they occured after a number of Move points were spent, but this has been changed so that you roll
for these at the beginning of the day before the Posse begins moving. This is to streamline gameplay a bit more so you’re not
counting Move Points, then stopping to roll, dealing with Encounters, and then picking back up with your movement again.

Wilderness Encounters
At the beginning of each day, a single player in the Posse
rolls a D8 to determine if they have a Wilderness Encounter.
On a result of 1 (or if anyone in the Posse is on foot, on a
1 or 2), the Heroes have a Wilderness Encounter and roll on
the Wilderness Encounter Chart to see what they find. Players
may want to assign a single person to this duty or can pass it
around for longer journeys. If using Wilderness Encounters, any
mention in the regular rules of the Travel Hazard Chart also
refers to the Wilderness Encounters Chart. The group may use
the Wilderness Encounters Chart, the Travel Hazards Chart, and
the Expanded Travel Hazards Chart interchangeably as they
wish throughout their travels, but should probably stick to
one of those Charts for consistency. The Wilderness Encounters
Chart specifically references movement on the Overland map.

While Wilderness Encounters trigger on a roll of 1 in the

basic rules, keep in mind that in some HexCrawl campaign
styles, this number is affected by the position of the Darkness
marker on the Overland Darkness Tracker.

Also, if Wilderness Encounters don’t happen often enough,

feel free to adjust the dice type to a D6 or even raise the
trigger number. Keep in mind though that the more Wilderness
Encounters that you have, the more time you’ll spend on the
Overland map vs having Adventures in Mines or Towns.

Wilderness Encounter Results

Many Wilderness Encounters will guide you to reference
a Result Number, something like “Go to 26a” or “Go to 73a”
or whatever. This is usually done when the Heroes have a
decision to make and helps to keep the results of that decision
hidden from the players to add suspense and make the players
think about their decisions a bit more. To reference the Result
Number, flip to the next section ‘Wilderness Encounter
Results’ and find the Result Number specified from the

the Hero sees the glint of a fancy necklace attached to a long dead corpse rising up from the depths of the well! More bodies begin

22a Science/Mutant The Preacher spots a heathen amongst your group and calls them out in front of his flock, beseeching his followers to destroy the
abomination in the name of all that is Holy. If you choose to stand and fight, each Hero makes a series of 5 Attack rolls (Melee or
Range). If 50% or more of the groups’ rolls hit, then you have scared off the rest of the congregation and recover 1 Grit and gain 75

chaotic retreat. Lose D6x$50 and 1 Gear or Artifact with a value of at least $200 in the ensuing craziness.

Cut the dead Gain 25 XP. You cut the rope that the corpse hangs from, only to discover that the man is actually quite alive! Without so much as a
man down word, the man rushes to the base of the tree, collects his clothes and runs off back down the road you came. You can only guess what the
fellah might’ve been doing up there in the first place.

30a Paleface Gain 25 XP. The injun doesn’t seem to have much left in him and his ending is pretty well set in stone at this point. You take aim

down a wild animal, nothing more. After some minor insults are hurled at you, they scatter and leave the Indian corpse out in the
sun. You put your gun back in the holster and ride on. Take D3 Corruption Hits for killing an unarmed man.

You’re able to ambush the Indian raiding party while they’re distracted with the settlers. Each Hero makes 5 Attack rolls (Range or
Melee). If the party as a whole successfully hits with 50% or more with their attacks, then most of the settlers are able to survive
the attack and the Indians are driven off. They thank you for your help in dealing with those savages and as a token of their esteem
offer what supplies they can spare: each Hero gains a Side Bag Token of their choice and an additional 50 XP.

If less than 50% of the groups’ hits connect on the Indian raiders, the settlers are not only decimated, but the Indians are also able
to get the advantage on the group and runs the Posse off before disappearing back into the wilderness. Each Hero takes D6 Hits
and loses 1 Gear or Artifact worth at least $150 in their mad dash to escape the Indian raiders.

33a Neutral Gain 25 XP, then Choose:

Guard the Shaman
No matter if the Shaman is crazy or not, he’s vulnerable in his current state to thieves or even wild animals. You have to keep watch
over the Shaman until he comes down from his trance. As if your fears were prophetic, a pack of Void Hounds appears over the
horizon, a look of terrible hunger across their eyes. The Void Hounds make an attempt at the old Shaman and everyone else in the
area, but you’re able to fend off the Void Hounds and eventually send them running. Each Hero takes D8 Wounds from the Void
Hounds. In time the Shaman wakes from his trance and thanks you for dealing with the evil spirits. He begins to sing a song of your
heroism and bravery. Each Hero in the group gains the keyword, ‘Kemosabe’.

Snag some of the Shaman’s supplies

As the Shaman prances about, he starts slithering around like a snake or lizard and goes over a nearby hill, out of sight of his
medicines and herbs. Seeing your chance, you start rifling through his bag and pick up some choice items. Surely in his state, this
Shaman wouldn’t know if he had consumed his own herbs or if he ever had them to begin with. Each Hero in the group that wants
to may make a Cunning 5+ roll to gain D6 Herbs, but any Hero that rolls a 1 or 2 is discovered by the Shaman and he curses all
Heroes that gained Herbs from his bag, regardless of what they rolled. Those Heroes gain the keyword ‘Paleface’.

Leave the Shaman be

This Shaman is obviously out of his mind and it’s best to leave him to his insane dancing. No good can come from messing
around with this drugged up fiend, he’d be better off in a sanitarium than this wilderness, but it’s not your job to care.

34a Neutral Without discussion or reading below, each Hero secretly chooses an action with a D6:
(Even # = Start shooting; Odd # = Put your weapon away):

Even side - Start shooting. If 50% or more of the Posse chooses this option then you make short work of the Indian Braves. Each
Hero that chose this gains 50 XP and draws 1 Loot card from what they’re able to recover off the Indians’ bodies.

If less than 50% of the Posse, but at least one Hero chose this option, then there is a brief battle. The Indian Braves manage to beat you back
and escape. As a result, every other Hero that chose the Odd side takes D6 Hits. Anyone that chose Even gains an additional 25 XP but
everyone in the group gains the keyword ‘Paleface’.

Odd side - Put your weapon away. You cautiously holster your weapon as a sign of goodwill. If everyone in the group chose this option
then the situation is defused and you’re able to talk things over and discover that the Indian Braves are searching for a kidnapped child in
the nearest Mine. You may begin a Search Party Mission [Basic:4] in the nearest Active Mine to recover the child, but have a time limit
of 3 days to finish the Mission. If successful, each Hero receives 1 Side Bag Token (choose between bandages, whiskey, or dynamite),
+1 Max Grit., and gains the keyword ‘Kemosabe’. However, the cost of failing the mission is double, D6 Corruption Hits, ignoring
Willpower. If you choose to ignore the mission then nothing happens.

35a Paleface The sentry recognizes an enemy of his people and moves to intercept the group. If you choose to fight the sentry, the group takes D8
Hits (spread out in whatever fashion amongst the group) and the other assembled Indians scatter far and wide. Anyone in the group
that doesn’t have the keyword ‘Tribal’, gains the keyword ‘Paleface’, if they didn’t already have it. Anyone with the keyword ‘Kemosabe’
loses that keyword.

If the group tries to make amends with the Indians, they must pay D6X$100 or give up 2 Gear or 1 Artifact PER Hero with the
keyword ‘Paleface’ in the group. If the price is paid, those with the keyword ‘Paleface’ lose that keyword. The Posse may now buy
items from here as if this were a Frontier Outpost (no Location event).

down beside the newly-revealed corpse. It stops moving after that. Alongside the pair of corpses, the group finds some personal

woman is saved, otherwise he gets away. The woman does not speak and seems catatonic, but the group receives 50 XP and
D6x$50 as a reward from her grateful husband if the group returns the woman to the nearest Town within a week (7 days).
Otherwise, the woman will mysteriously die despite your best efforts to care for her.

Luck 5+ rolls. As long as each test is passed by one or more Heroes, the challenge is a success and you manage to bring down the
horse thief. For every 1 rolled during those tests, one of the four stolen horses is accidentally injured and will have to be put down.
Each horse that is saved is worth $100 and 25 XP if returned to the nearest Town. The horse thief is worth $150 and 50 XP if

61a Search the Gain 50 XP. As you cross through what used to be the doorway into the charred remains of this estate, you hear what seems to be
a music box playing softly, mixed with a melancholic moaning. You begin seeing ghostly apparitions running through what used
area
to be hallways, spectral children at play in what must’ve been an orphanage at some point in the past. As you come to a central
courtyard area you find a ghostly woman weeping, she clutches a letter in her off-hand. Beside her lies a music box, an empty
canister of oil, and a box of matches. As the music box nears the end of its tune, the apparitions fade to nothing. Each Hero takes
D3 Horror Hits as they slowly realize what befell this estate and its children.

Each Hero rolls 3D6 and draws 1 Loot card for every 6 that is rolled.

63a Kemosabe/ You hail the Indian Braves and they tell you that they are in search of a kidnapped Indian child. Terrible monsters from the nearest
Active Mine snatched the child in the night and may have already killed or eaten the child. If you agree to help the Indians, then you
Tribal
have 3 days to engage in a Search Party Mission [Basic:4] to recover the missing child. The reward is 2 Side Bag Tokens per Hero
and +1 Max Grit. However, the cost of failing the mission is double, D6 Corruption Hits, ignoring Willpower.

If the Posse refuses to help the Indian Braves, then any Hero with the keyword ‘Kemosabe’ loses that keyword.

64a Help the Party movement slows to 4 Move points/day until they get to the next Town. The Merchant gives each Hero D3x$50 for their
trouble (roll once for the whole group). If the Heroes begin a Mine Adventure and fail, the Merchant is killed when the Darkness
Merchant
escapes. The Heroes take D6 Corruption Hits for letting him get killed.

65a Investigate the Stop all movement for the day. As you move closer towards the swamp the sky begins to dim well before it should and still the
glowing balls of light continue on with their dancing. You must’ve gotten their attention because all of a sudden they swarm around the
bog and the
lights group. The interplay of lights is... quite mesmerizing.

Spirit 5+
Gain 50 XP. Those that fail the Spirit test will become entranced by the swirling bog lights and suddenly begin to attack their
comrades! Each Hero affected will make D3 Attacks (Range or Melee) against a Random Hero in the group (yes, may even attack
themselves) before they are subdued. Eventually the glowing orbs seem to have had enough and fly off. Somehow though, the
strange lights have drawn off some of the Darkness from the Heroes. Each Hero loses D3 Corruption points.

66a Continue on Gain 10 XP. Obviously someone is foolin’ with you or some stupid bandidos will try to ambush you. You kick over the sign,
knowing better than to fall for damn, stupid Outlaw traps.

67a Kemosabe/ You ride your horses right into the midst of the Ranchers, distracting their attention away from the Indian Brave, demanding
they leave him be. They draw their weapons and you draw yours. Every Hero rolls a D6, if anyone rolls a 1, then someone’s
Tribal
weapon has accidentally gone off and started up a pitched battle. Each Hero takes D8 Hits before eventually chasing off the
Ranchers. Otherwise if no one rolls a 1, then the Ranchers eventually back down and leave without incident, not wanting to
get into a brawl over an Indian.

Despite your actions, the Indian doesn’t have much time left, but at least he can die amongst kindly faces. Each Hero that has it
must give up 1 Herb Token to ease the Indian’s pain. He dies quietly, a blessing on his lips. You give him a proper burial. Each
Hero gains 50 XP and recovers 1 Grit.

68a Chase after the Gain 25 XP. You give chase after the child, not knowing exactly what you’ll do with him when you catch him, but then... The child
runs headlong off the side of a cliff. A Random Hero may make an Agility 6+ roll to save the child’s life. If you save the child’s life,
child
he still thinks you’re trying to hurt him and he escapes. Each non-Tribal Hero gains the keyword ‘Paleface’ if they didn’t already
have it and loses the keyword ‘Kemosabe’ if they have that. If you fail the skill check or decide to let the child fall, he plummets to
his death. It was a terrible end for the child, but at least now no one will think ill of you. Each Hero gains D6 Corruption points.

69a Outlaw Gain 25 XP. While the whole group is distracted with the initial robbery, you come in and hold up the Scafford Gang and are
able to make off with not only the Scafford Gang’s wallets, but the wallets and purses of the stagecoach passengers. The Posse gains
D6x$100 in gold and each Hero rolls a D6. On a roll of 5 or 6, that Hero has gained 1 Gear. However, each Hero that doesn’t
have the keyword ‘Outlaw’ also takes D3 Corruption Hits from, of course, not doing the right thing.

70a Knock over the Gain 50 XP. As you kick over the hideous totem, as any sensible god-fearing folk would’ve done in your place, the sky suddenly
darkens and thunder clouds begin to form. Without warning a torrent of frogs comes raining down on you. And just as quickly as

it formed up, the storm moves on, but the sky stays dark and cloudy for the rest of the day. Not a good sign at all. The next time
you begin an Adventure, immediately add a Growing Dread card to the stack.

71a Neutral Choose:

Stop the Indian
Gain 25 XP. The Indian savage has bad intentions for this woman and must be stopped from harming this woman further! Any
Hero or combination of Heroes must make 3 Range attacks. If at least 2 of the attacks hit, the Indian is killed, but if any 1’s are
rolled, the woman is also killed. Regardless, if the Indian is stopped then each Hero gains an additional 25 XP and 1 Gear. If the
woman is brought to the nearest Town within a week (7 days) the Heroes also receive D6x$50 from her grateful husband.

If the Indian is not killed, then he escapes and each Hero in the Posse gains the keyword ‘Paleface’.

Offer to help the woman

Gain 25 XP. The woman obviously needs help and if the Heroes collectively give up D6 Herb Tokens (or D6x$100 if Herbs are
unavailable), the Indian thanks you for your assistance and tells the group he is bringing the woman to a local Shaman to be cared
for. Each Hero gains an additional 25 XP and gains the keyword ‘Kemosabe’.

Leave them be
Gain 10 XP. Obviously this is something completely out of your league and it’s best if you didn’t get involved in whatever the hell it
is that’s happening here. You turn your head and forget that you ever saw whatever it was that you thought you saw.

72a Investigate the Gain 25 XP and stop all movement for the day. The Heroes pass between the two stones, and they are immediately transported to
a random Other World! The Heroes begin on the Other World entrance tile. They must find 1 Clue icon and return to the Other
stones
World entrance tile in order to get back to Earth. Exploration Tokens with Gates count as Doors instead. Failure will result in the
players immediately going on to an Escape Mission [Basic:5] at a Random Mine.

Help the Settlers
Gain 25 XP and each Hero gains the keyword ‘Paleface’.

You’re able to ambush the Indian raiding party while they’re distracted with the settlers. Each Hero make 5 Attacks (Range or
Melee). If the party as a whole successfully hits with 50% or more with their attacks, then most of the settlers are able to survive
the attack and the Indians are driven off. They thank you for your help in dealing with those savages and as a token of their esteem
offer what supplies they can spare: each Hero gains a Side Bag Token of their choice and an additional 50 XP.

If less than 50% of the groups’ hits connect on the Indian raiders, the settlers are not only decimated, but the Indians are also able

have left, you look and find some supplies that the Indians seemed to have missed that were left by the fleeing settlers. Each Hero

draws 1 Loot card and takes D6 Corruption Hits at the realization that they stood by and did nothing as innocents were harmed.

77a Paleface Gain 25 XP. These Injuns are up to no-good and can’t be trusted to get any closer. You draw your weapons and point them at the
Braves. You tell them to keep their distance, but they either don’t understand English or the weapons you drew have them on edge
because they immediately start aiming their own weapons at you.

Without discussion or reading ahead, each Hero secretly chooses an action with a D6
(Odd = Start shooting, Even = Put your weapons away):

Odd - Start shooting. If 50% or more of the Posse chooses this option then you make short work of the Indian Braves. Each Hero
that chose this gains 50 XP and draws 1 Loot card from what they’re able to recover off the Indians’ bodies.

If less than 50% of the Posse, but at least one Hero chose this option, then there is a brief battle. The Indian Braves manage to beat
you back and escape. As a result, every other Hero that chose Odd takes D6 Hits. Anyone that chose Even gains an additional
25 XP but anyone in the group with the keyword ‘Kemosabe’ loses that keyword and everyone in the group that doesn’t have the
keyword ‘Tribal’ gains the keyword ‘Paleface’.

Even - Put your weapons away. You cautiously holster your weapon as a token of goodwill. If everyone in the group chose this
option then the situation is defused and you’re able to talk things over with the Indians before they head off. Each Hero that has the
keyword ‘Paleface’ loses that keyword and everyone in the group gains 25 XP.

78a Keep on Gain 10 XP. Fearing that any interaction you might have with this foul shrine will have some
harmful effect, you decide it best to move on and let braver souls than you take their chances

with that accursed thing.

79a Attempt to Each Hero that can, gives an Herb Side Bag Token and rolls D6. On a roll of 1, that player becomes infected and gains the
‘Diseased’ keyword until able to get healed at a Doc’s Office (use Heal Corruption action, but no Corruption is removed) or use
help
an Herb Token on themselves (ignore it’s normal effect, but remove the ‘Diseased’ keyword). While afflicted with the ‘Diseased’
keyword, players are at -D6 to Max Health and Max Sanity. Regardless, the Indians thank you for your help in curing them of their
sickness. Each Hero that gave the Indians an Herb Token gain 50 XP and non-Tribal Heroes lose the keyword ‘Paleface’ if they
have it and gain the keyword ‘Kemosabe’.

80a Outlaw As the Bandidos surround your group, the leader among them recognizes one of the Outlaws in your Posse and calls off the attack
at the last minute. Instead they share some whiskey with the group and reminisce about adventures and scams from days long
gone. Each Hero gains 25 XP and gets 1 Whiskey Side Bag Token.

81a Go investigate Gain 25 XP. All around the area of the explosion is utter devastation, something with alot of force came crashing down into the
earth. At the epicenter of all that destruction the Posse finds a pitch black sphere of a rough, glowing rock billowing steam. After
the crater
some time the glowing begins to fade and the rock cools down enough that you can touch it. As you touch the rock, it cracks in
two, revealing a glittering diamond at its center! The diamond glows bright as the sun, temporarily blinding the group and then is
gone from existence. The party has gained 1 extra Revive token on their next Adventure.

and they will not accept you in their midst anymore. Each Hero gains the ‘Traitor’ keyword and each time your Posse is in that
Town’s hex or any of their surrounding hexes, you take D6 Hits from townsfolk attempting to chase you off. You may not enter
that Town or any of its Locations again (though the Town is not Destroyed yet).

These settlers accidentally entered into Indian territory and meant no harm, you have to help these people out! You put yourself
between the Indian defenders and the settlers to stop the bloodshed. Unfortunately, you take some friendly fire and each Hero suffers

the Heroes are successful in their test, the Indians see the truth in your words and agree to let the settlers go on their way. If less than
50% of the group are successful, then the Indians reluctantly agree to let the settlers go, but also see you as traitors to the tribe. Any
