McCullough Talks Future For Rangers Of Shadow Deep
March 1, 2019 by brennon
Joseph A. McCullough has been talking about the future of Rangers Of Shadow Deep, the solo (and cooperative) miniatures game that released towards the end of last year.
Two new expansions/supplements are on the way for the game, expanding the story and narrative of Rangers Of Shadow Deep beyond the core rulebook and Blood Moon. The first of these is Tomb Of Madness which should be available in March.
The first half of the book will talk about new magic options for Rangers and their companions as well as new heroic abilities, companions and equipment which focus on Spellcasting. There will also be a four-scenario mission included which is akin to a dungeon crawl. One of the neat things talked about is the addition of some puzzle mechanics being thrown in there too.
As well as that Ghost Stone will also be arriving perhaps later in the year. Again this is divided up into two main parts with the first being another four-scenario mission where you take control of two different Ranger bands. One is at starting level and other more experienced from their previous adventures. Scenarios will be linked where the outcome of one will affect the other and it should help heighten the narrative tension.
Also included within Ghost Stone will be a collection of fifty-two new unique weapons which can be found and used by your Rangers. As with any good magical weapon they will have to spend time working out their properties to unlock their full potential.
Not entirely fleshed out but still, on the horizon, there is also The Menagerie. This isn't the finished title for this particular expansion but it will add two new scenarios into the mix alongside a list of animal companions for your Rangers to call upon.
The future is looking bright for Rangers Of Shadow Deep and I can't wait!

I want it but not printing it out…be like a yellow pages….. nice hardback please and i`m all yours
They are planning on hard copies after the PDFs launch @soulman
The solo version is an interesting option.
Got the game, but I do feel the game is hurting from just having the 4 scenarios (compared to Frostgrave’s usual 8) in the future books. But by adding magic aren’t we just getting a solo version of Frostgrave (which isn’t a bad thing in itself)? I suppose I’ll always be wanting yet MOAR scenarios (as this is the main reason I buy the books), I’ve got the Hardback version of the main game (and mighty nice it is), as well as the first mini-supplement (just a single scenario). But to me this shows signs of Shadows drifting towards Frostgrave… Read more »
It might be that just because they will add magic you can choose to not use it in your games. Of course, if scenarios need magic to complete then that would be detrimental to your chosen course of not playing like a Frostgrave extension.
I’ve often in the past ignored rules that I don’t like and continued to enjoy a game the way I like it. Of course, I don’t play in any tournaments either!
They may not be as polished, but there are already a few fan created missions that are worth playing. I’ve written two and you can find them on the FB group or on the RoSD files section on BoardGameGeek.
