You have literally just a scant few hours left to get in on the Gloomhaven Grand Festival, which includes the Gloomhaven RPG and more.

Today is the final day of the Gloomhaven Grand Festival, which is Cephalofair Games’ extravaganza of a crowdfunding campaign. This campaign has everything you could possibly want. And many things you didn’t even know you wanted. Like Buttons & Bugs, a new solo-play game.

Of course, the one I’m the most excited about is Gloomhaven: the Role Playing Game which promises to bridge the gap between the 2nd Edition of the best-selling board game giant (which is also available at the Grand Festival) and tabletop roleplaying.

The Gloomhaven Grand Festival is here! We invite you to join the celebration and check out the latest in the city of Gloomhaven. From Gloomhaven: The Role Playing Game, Miniatures of Gloomhaven, Gloomhaven Second Edition, and more, there is something for everyone.

There are so many different opportunities to get in on Gloomhaven. But let’s talk about the roleplaying game for just a moment. The new RPG will bring in Gloomhaven’s card/hand-based character-building and gameplay to the tabletop. With a stronger emphasis on storytelling while still adhering to the randomness at the heart of the game:

Unlike other RPG systems reliant on dice and set character-build structures – Gloomhaven: The Role Playing Game will continue to uphold one of Cephalofair’s core mission statements – to “minimize randomness and reward player savvy”.

This newly developed system integrates card management into the role-playing experience. That’s right, we’ve added a third skill check action to these cards, which lets you perform great feats out of combat, but also opens up a new dimension in combat, letting you swing from chandeliers, kick through walls, or even convince the bad guys to stop fighting.
