Cephalofair Games has just launched their new crowdfunding campaign on Backerkit.
It’s essentially three different projects bundled into the same campaign:
- The 2nd edition of Gloomhaven
- Different sets of miniatures for the enemies and summons in Gloomhaven+expansion, JotL and Frosthaven
- A new Gloomhaven themed RPG.
This is awesome, but honestly I’m swimming in Gloomhaven content as is. I still haven’t finished the core game, have an unopened box of The Crimson Scales to get to, and my son’s been begging me to get Frosthaven. I can’t justify buying anything else right now!
I think the price for Gloomhaven 2nd edition is very good. Don’t think I can justify the purchase though as I have not even finished my own 1st edition copy xD
I’m excited. I don’t think I’ll ever play the RPG (I just don’t know who I’d ever play it with), I don’t need all those minis (except maybe the summons would be nice to have), but I’m really really looking forward to playing through Gloomhaven 2.
The minis alone are probably going to bring in a shit ton of money. I personally preferred the colorful standees but I remember how many were clamoring for minis back then.
I could give in to my evil tendencies… I have a friend who still hasn’t played his OG Gloomhaven and who is a big fan of minis…
I agree, I think that gloomhaven managed to have that variety due to standees instead of minis, as long as they keep the minis as a deluxe upgrade I think it’s fine and more games should do it.
Indeed. ~250 would have been a much harder sell for what was effectively a “new designer”. Going for mostly standees allowed them to have a much more approachable price point. GH might not have become the breakout hit without them.
