Shadows of Brimstone: Blasted Wastes - Deluxe OtherWorldAn inhospitable and corrosive alien desert, the Blasted Wastes is a distant planet used as a prison world by nearby alien civilizations, marooning their worst criminals on the surface with no hope of escape! Though most sent to the wastes are consumed by the deadly creatures that live under the sand, or fall victim to the burning suns, sulfur acid pools, or toxic Dark Stone dust storms, those that survive eke out a living by forming vicious warbands

An inhospitable and corrosive alien desert, the Blasted Wastes is a distant planet used as a prison world by nearby alien civilizations, marooning their worst criminals on the surface with no hope of escape! Though most sent to the wastes are consumed by the deadly creatures that live under the sand, or fall victim to the burning suns, sulfur acid pools, or toxic Dark Stone dust storms, those that survive eke out a living by forming vicious warbands to scavenge the desert dunes, searching for resources and the countless alien treasures buried beneath the burning sands.

The Blasted Wastes Deluxe OtherWorld Expansion offers a lot of new material, not only for exploring and fighting your way across the new OtherWorld of the Blasted Wastes, but also for all new adventures on the frontier, with the Canyons!  Two New Worlds.  With this set, gateways have opened up leading to the corrosive alien desert world of the Blasted Wastes - full of perilous, environmental hazards and vicious warbands of alien Scavengers that rove the desert dunes, stealing supplies and resources from any that cross their path. Also included is a brand new Old West themed world... the Canyons! It is fully realized as an additional World with a full set of cards, Map Tiles, and even some Missions to bring your Heroes into the dusty valleys and rocky gulches of the Old West!

The Blasted Wastes Expansion includes an entire set of 18 brand new, double-sided Map Tiles. This gives you a full set of Map Tiles for the new Blasted Wastes OtherWorld on one side, and a full set of Map Tiles for the brand new Canyons world on the other side, including 8 new Unique Rooms, 4 new Standard Rooms, and a set of 6 Passages!

This Deluxe OtherWorld Expansion includes a host of dangerous new Enemies to encounter, including: 6 Wasteland Scavengers -
Ruthless alien nomads that travel the Blasted Wastes in search of supplies and resources to steal. 3 large Sand Crabs - brutal creatures with thick, armored shells that live beneath the desert sands. 6 Ghost Warriors - Indian braves that have been possessed by the Darkness, flickering in and out of reality as they descend from the canyon cliffs to attack travelers. 2 Scavenger Heavies - Wasteland Scavengers that wield powerful, rapid fire Scrap Cannons. And 1 Wasteland Warlord - A vicious and terrifying leader of the Scavengers.

Like all Worlds, the Canyons has a set of unique Encounters, Artifacts, and Map Cards, as well as a couple of Global Rules that make adventuring there more distinct. The Global Rules are listed on the World Card included in this expansion.  Though the Canyons is a different ‘World’ from the Mines, it is still on Earth, rather than being an alien environment. Because of this, the Canyons are not considered to be an ‘OtherWorld’ per se (for cards, abilities, etc that have special effects in an ‘OtherWorld’). Also, as the Canyons is a normal World (like the Mines), it uses the normal Low, Med, and High Threat Decks for Enemies found there, rather than a specific OtherWorld Threat Deck (though you may custom build your Threat Decks just for the Canyons, if you like).

Like all OtherWorlds, the Blasted Wastes has a set of unique Encounters, Artifacts, Map Cards, and OtherWorld Threat cards, as well as a couple of Global Rules that make adventuring there more distinct. The Global Rules are listed on the World Card included in this expansion.  While exploring the Blasted Wastes, Heroes will encounter all manner of environmental hazards, from Dark Stone dust storms, to toxic gases being released from the sulfur acid pools that dot the landscape, to sinking sand that threatens to pull the Heroes down below the surface! The twin suns of the Blasted Wastes can also play a big part in the environment, as the suns shift from Day to Dusk, and into Night. The desert wasteland is a dangerous place, and not to be traveled lightly.

A useful study
Format: Hardcover
This is a book that will make you angry. If you are a conservative, this book should make you feel very guilty. It is important to begin with that this book is a detour from Keyssar's larger project, which was supposed to be a history of the American working class' electoral participation. After struggling with the work for several years he realized that he needed to publish a whole book explaining what the right to vote actually was in American history. The result is a history of the slow and uneven path to universal suffrage in American history. We learn about the existence of the vote before 1776, the improvement that occured with the revolution, and the larger improvement that occured with the Jeffersonian/Jacksonian period in which the large majority of white men were able to vote. At the same time we learn of efforts to counter the expanding suffrage, such as disfranchisement of free blacks all over the country before 1861, attacks on the voting rights of paupers, felons, migrants and aliens, as well as the disfranchisment in the early 1800s of the limited voting rights women had in the early 1800s. Keyssar then goes on to discuss the narrowing of the portals from the 1860s to the 1920s, periods ironically bounded by giving the vote to blacks in the 1870s and to women by the 1920s. But in between that period nearly all blacks and many whites were disenfranchised in the south, while literacy, residence, nationality and registration systems sought to limit the vote in the North (while "asiatics" were barred in the west). The book concludes with the successful passage of the Voting Rights Act and the twenty-sixth amendment, but also with low turnout, an extremely narrow political spectrum, and government structures which limit political participation and reinforce conservative values. Much of this will not be new to historians, though never before has there been such detail and the twenty appendixes provided at the back will be invaluable for future reference. Sometimes Keyssar gives a qualititative estimate of how many Americans could vote (he suggests that perhaps 60% of white Americans could vote before 1776, a figure much lower than the 80-90% posited by more Panglossian historians). And there are many interesting details, such as the New York plan where registration was supposed to take place on Yom Kippur, conventiently leaving out many Jews. But otherwise the full results have been reserved for his upcoming work. This weakens his criticisms of American exceptionalism, since without a clear understanding of how much the vote declined in the North, we cannot see how fully the ponderous elitism of Parkman and Godkin were like the undemocratic aspects of German or Italian or even British liberalism. I am also do not agree with his description of slaves as a "peasantry." This implies that the majority of white farmers who were not slaveholders were a) not peasants and b) were otherwise indistinguishable on a class basis from the slaveholders. Recent southern agrarian history makes this assumption quite questionable. It is true that Americans were unenthusiatic as Europeans about the rise of the proletariat and rural subaltern classes, but it is insufficient to say that mass suffrage only occured because such classes were a small proportion of the population. They were also a small proportion of the population in France in 1848 and 1851 when universal male suffrage was declared, which did not prevent a greater degree of struggle over the question in that country. Enfranchising the majority of any population would raise serious issues of class domination and control regardless of the class structure. Nevertheless this is still a useful study, and reading the petty, racist, misogynist, self-serving and self-satisfied arguments against the suffrage will be a depressing experience. To think that such injustices could be continued for two centuries thanks to the endless cant of "state's rights" long after the republican content of that slogan had drained away will infuriate you.

Unfolding of the right to vote in the U.S.
In my forty years of studying the history of the U.S., I find this work to be the most authoritative and complete work yet encountered. Not only is the book a thorough guide through the evolution of our democracy, it is an entertaining read. The book is a 'must' read for those who seek a perspective on many of the current issues involving voting rights.
