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!
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.
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.
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
