Gloomhaven RPG Crowdfunder Hits $1M In First Hours

Not that it was a surprise, with nearly 70,000 pre-launch followers, but the crowdfunding campaign for the Gloomhaven RPG, miniatures, and more hit a million dollars in the first few hours. It's billed as the 'Gloomhaven Grand Festival' and is for a new edition of the boardgame, a ton of miniatures, and an RPG.

For $30 you get the RPG core rulebook, for $130 you get the second edition of the boardgame, for $325 you get the full set of miniatures, and for $550 you get everything.

The current record holder for a TTRPG crowdfunding campaign is Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game from Magpie Games. So far, Gloomhaven has had a better first day than that campaign. Could it break Avatar's record of $9.53M?

Yeah... I'll check back when there is more info on the RPG. The Board Game (and board games in general), doesn't matter to me.

While there certainly is nothing illegal about this, I get very dodgy shifty feelings about getting away with the bank for a roleplaying game with essentially zero details.

Yes, we know it will have cards instead of dice, and yes, we know the cards will have been augmented with out-of-combat applicability (compared to Gloomhaven), but...

...such a miserable level of specific details needs to be called out. Imagine an unknown actor pitching a similar game and it would definitely be a scam.
