I looked at this and kind of pooh-poohed it. At the end of the day, Warhammer Quest is the undisputed King of DC's, still, and this doesn't do anything any better than it does.

At what point is this constant need to re-imagine the genre just jumping the shark?

Hmmm. Shadows of Brimstone totally blows away Warhammer Quest.

SoB actually feels like someone's house rules for WQ reworked into a full game. Every single aspect of SoB is handled better than in WQ, and they are easy to compare because there is a nearly direct correlation for everything in WQ. Except one: WQ has more monsters if you count the ones in the RPG book.

Really...? I have a hard time looking at the two, side by side, and seeing Shadows of Brimstone being superior, if for no other reason than the fact that it looks like someone's prototype. Aesthetic needs to be taken into account when it comes to highly thematic games, I'd think.

I keep wanting to get Shadows....but fuck sakes, it looks so damned bland that I just know we'll play it and think, "Wow, this would be great if it had ANY art..."

I can get the set with the Outlaw for 70$, Charlie, but I appreciate your kind offer. ;)

And, as an aside, I got the two games mixed up - I was thinking Shadows of Malice, not Shadows of Brimstone.

I had to go back and look it up. Now I'm even more intrigued, despite the theme.

But not with those hundreds of dollars worth of stretch goals.
