The Caverns of Cynder is a hostile Alien World, deep underground and
overflowing with lakes of molten magma!
There is some alien architecture such as pathways and ductwork to funnel the
lava in practical and ceremonial ways. In the Caverns, Dark Stone is melted into
the magma itself and can be found in liquid form! This has led some industrious
explorers, both human and otherwise, to set up mining equipment in an attempt to
siphon it out of the rock itself. Of course the Heroes must always beware of the
foul creatures lurking the corridors as well as those that will rise up out of
the molten rock itself to attack — not to mention the constant threat of
eruptions and rising lava pools at your feet!
Shadows of Brimstone: Caverns of Cynder Expansion offers a new Otherworld for
players to explore, with a set of 18 new double-sided map tiles. There are new
Encounter cards, artifacts, Otherworld threats, and map cards, as well as three
of the new lava men Enemy.
Cynder Tiles include a mechanism in which you can take damage if you pass
over certain fiery spaces. If you have a high Agility you get to roll two dice,
so swift and nimble characters are less likely to burn. Cynder also has
mechanisms in which Clothing items make you susceptible to heat exhaustion and
burning, so there's some interesting decisions to be made about how many items
to keep equipped from turn to turn.
