Brimspur 02 - A Menagerie of Monsters

Be ye fiend or friend?

Hello damned souls one and all! Welcome back to Brimspur. This is part 2 of our second annual three-part Halloween spooky setting. This release is all about that intersection of wild west and hell. We've got all your standards here: the main drag of the frontier town, a cavalcade of prototypical characters, and music for high noon showdowns. Does hell have "high noon"? Probably not. Anyway! Let's take a look.
