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.

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.
