Project Update: Thanks everyone!



Thanks everyone for a very fun campaign!

The Book of Funnels was created in response to so many fan stories over the years about funnel adventures. It seemed like every DCC RPG player has one - or many - great tales from their 0-level adventures. 3000+ backers later, it seems even more true! You will have a lot of fun with the adventures in this book.

The countdown-and-overtime show as a lot of fun. Our "overtime bonus item" is the Bag of Nightsoil - a dice bag made of burlap, or as close to that as we can get. Thanks Kablooey for this fun idea!

Just to close out the show, here are some of the "iconic" photos we shared, now reserved for posterity in this post!

Harley in his hat at Dungeon Con



A closeup of Harley's hat. How does he destroy them so thoroughly? No one knows. But we may try to get some new hats made in time for an upcoming con, because Harley needs a new hat!


Mike and the Big Duck. He's not angry, he's just staring into the sun. Yes, it is a big duck. But most interesting here is the condition of his hat. See Harley, Mike knows how to keep a hat clean!


Not quite Mothman, but there is a goblin in that tree. See it?





And yes, this really is the legendary nun chuk video from the year we took custom nun chuks to Gen Con. I think we all agreed it is time to bring back the nun chuks for Gen Con 2027!

Thanks everyone - and now we're going to get started on layout for Book of Funnels!

Project Update: August Update #1 - Back from Gen Con & Production Continues

Hello Grand Festival Backers!

Thank you for your patience as our team and factory partners returned from Gen Con (Indianapolis) last week. We’re rested, re-engaged, and our voices are mostly back to normal.

Mass production is still underway for Gloomhaven RPG and Miniatures of Gloomhaven, but we’ve got some light updates to provide, let’s dive in!

Gen Con 2026 was a blast! We're...mostly....recovered ;)


Gloomhaven RPG

Mass production continues! No exciting updates or shenanigans, which is a good thing!

We had such a great time showing off the pre-production copy of Gloomhaven: The Roleplaying Game in person and received lots of great feedback from those of you in attendance. Whether you stopped by the booth or signed up for one of our RPG play events, thank you for stopping by and checking it out!

For those of you we missed, here are some photos of our showcase:

Jeff shows off the Casskia world map, which bookends the book on both inside covers.

The Gloomhaven RPG Deluxe Box Set - too big for one mortal display cabinet to showcase fully open...
Gloom Master Screen & Elemental Book Mark Trackers



The Gloomhaven: Playing Card Deck

Diving into Character Creation with the Gloomhaven RPG Book Display!


Miniatures of Gloomhaven

While we leaving for Gen Con, our factory partner let us know their engineers had discovered an issue that needed addressing surrounding our flight stands and flying monsters which has since been resolved and is currently being re-tested for quality. 

As you are probably aware by now, our miniatures are plastic injected at mass quantities with molten plastic and steel molds. While this creates large quantities of high detail miniatures quickly, the variable factors (temp, plastic, timing, cooling, etc) can lead to quality inconsistencies without good controls and assurance checks.

We had performed flight-stand-fit testing throughout our preproduction efforts and called out models that a) fit their flight stand, b) were too tight to fit their flight stand, & c) fit their flight stand but less confidently. These had initially been addressed by the factory team who then kept (thankfully!) a very close eye on those miniatures as mass production kicked off.

Flight Stands - NOW UNDER RECONSTRUCTION (well....mold adjustments)

What they realized was even despite their modifications to the molds, they still weren’t happy with what was supposed to be a “consistent” fit across all flying models. 

With quality of these miniatures being top priority, we asked them to revisit the mold modifications and fix them ALL consistently across the full line. 

Over the last two weeks they have paused mass production to do just that, and I’m happy to say the new samples we received last night are much improved, more consistent, and ideally much less prone to accidental slippage or breakage. 

While a delay isn’t ideal, we’d much rather deal with this issue now then have to send you replacement parts further down the line when you finally get to those scenarios with flying enemies.

We also took proactive use of this time to discuss further small tray modifications we could implement to improve the user experience out of the box, such as finger indents for smoother removal/replacement.

Production should be picking right back up here any day now once I get the confirmation from our factory that their further testing was successful.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this 360 degree look at the Miniatures of Gloomhaven: Summons Expansion Set:





Mercenaries Wanted
We know this is predominantly a place to update you on our remaining Grand Festival efforts, but we’d be remiss to quickly touch on a new Cephalofair project that will be featuring many of the characters you’ve come to know and recognize from our crowdfunding games like Gloomhaven, Frosthaven, and the Gloomhaven RPG.

If you attended Gen Con with us, or are subscribed to our INSIDERS NEWSLETTER, you may have heard we’ve announced our next brand new game, MERCENARIES WANTED!

(Prototype Only)

MERCENARIES WANTED ($24.99 USD) is a drafting game for 1-6 players designed by Cephalofair’s very own Dennis Vögele (Jaws of the Lion, Frosthaven, Gloomhaven (2025), Mercenary Packs, etc), and takes ~45 mins to play!

In Mercenaries Wanted, players won’t play adventurous Mercenaries this time around. No. Instead, you get to step into the shoes of an adventurous Mercenary HR Manager!

That’s right! Because what is running a company of freelance mercenaries OTHER than one giant human resources puzzle?

I won’t crowd this space with my musing about why I’m so excited, but if you’d like to read a bit more I’ve published a blog here full of post-Gen Con enthusiasm: "Mercenaries Wanted: Why I'm Excited as a Publisher"

Hire, Fire, & Promote Your Way to Victory as a Mercenary Company Recruitment Officer in MERCENARIES WANTED!

END OF UPDATE

Thank you all for your time this week and letting us share about the exciting (and non-exciting) progress being made on all fronts.

I'll be back in two weeks with a very, very, short update to confirm that mass production on miniatures is back up to speed and share any other brief updates.

Let’s end today with a poll, how does that sound?

Project Update: POND FAQs & Erratas - WE ARE 80% DELIVERED!


POND IS 80% FULFILLED!!!

The only customers still waiting for their deliveries are now those living in Australia, New Zealand, The UK, or within the EU.
Everyone else should have already received their games, or at least have tracking numbers for their games in your email. If you do not, please send me a email at [email protected] and I'll track down the shipment for you.


PLEASE LEAVE A BGG REVIEW AFTER YOU PLAY THE GAME!!! 

For an indie publisher like me, mainstream coverage from big reviewers and content creators is pretty much impossible to get. So BGG reviews are REALLY important for new potential customers to decide if the game is worth buying or not.


HOW TO PLAY POND!!!

Speaking of content creators, I was very happy to sponsor the incredible Board Game Garden to create the official "How To Play" video for POND~
If you're a visual learner, then this video will be a great resource before starting your first game!


FAQs and Erratas

With people now playing the game, I've had a few frequently asked questions over in my discord server, and I've begun compiling them on the FAQs & Erratas page on my website!
There are also 3 erratas. For your convenience, I'll put them here as well:

Wizard Frogs Faction Ability (nerf):
  • OLD: Transmutation - Once per turn, you may remove 1 of your frogs in a Pond with no enemies to draw 2 cards, then discard 1 card.
  • NEW: Transmutation - Once per turn, you may remove 1 of your frogs in a Pond with no enemies to draw 1 card.

Banana Frogs Faction Ability (reword):
  • OLD: Slip and Slide - One per turn, when you March, you may move 1 enemy Frog along with each of your Frogs in that March.
  • NEW: Slip and Slide - One per turn, when you March, for each Frog you moved, you may also move an enemy Frog from the same Pond to any adjacent Pond.
​​​
Rule for when your deck is empty:
  • OLD: If your deck is empty, you must immediately Hibernate a card from either your discard or play area. Then shuffle your discard pile to form a new deck.
  • NEW: If your deck is empty and you need to draw, you may immediately choose a card from your discard pile to Hibernate, then shuffle your discard pile to form a new deck.​​​​​

All photos this post are from tabletopjables!

POND is now available on my website and on Amazon US!

If you know a friend who missed out on the campaign, they can now order the game directly from me or on Amazon! Preferably directly from me, because Amazon takes almost 30% of the cut (Which is why I also raised the prices slightly on Amazon).

The art friends expansion (which was free for backerkit backers) is limited in number and sold as an separate expansion for $20.

Thank you to all of the backers who helped bring this game to life and for your patience in receiving the game. I tried really hard to make the game feel as gorgeous as possible, so I hope playing it will bring you lost of joy (even though the gameplay is just as competitive and ruthless as it's inspiration, ROOT haha)

As part of 🪅 GameFiesta celebration, each participating campaign will give away one GameFiesta game to one of its own (lucky) backers every day while the campaign is live.

This thread details the rules (below) and for your convenience, you can check the winners every day in this link to the forum where draws take place with BoardGameGeek's Geek Randomizer for full transparency:

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3751721/gamefiesta-daily-official-draw-log

About the Daily Giveaways




 
There are currently 14 participating campaigns, meaning that each day there will be 14 independent giveaway draws.

The thread in BoardGameGeek linked above the banner serves as the official public record of the daily randomizations.
The goal is to make the selection process transparent and independently verifiable while keeping individual backer full information private.

 How the daily draws work:

1. Daily cutoff — 23:59 UTC

At 23:59 UTC each day, the publicly displayed backer count for each participating campaign is recorded, which establishes the number of participants for that day's draw.
The cutoff is fixed at 23:59 UTC. Pledges or changes occurring after the cutoff are considered for the following day's giveaway.

2. Private participant record

After the cutoff, we export the BackerKit CSV for each campaign.
These CSV files are kept private and are used only to identify the participant corresponding to the winning random number.

3. Public randomization

Shortly after the cutoff, we perform one independent randomization for each campaign using BoardGameGeek's Geek Randomizer.
The resulting number identifies the participant's position in the corresponding private cutoff CSV.

4. Prize
In order to comply with BoardGameGeek terms of use, we need to keep posts without promotional info, which is why there is little mention of the Giveaway itself or crowdfunding details in there.

Every reply in the thread includes mention of a Featured Game, which is the given prize for that day.

GameFiesta organizers handle prize assignation in the pledge manager stage and fulfillment according to the applicable campaign plan.

In order to keep the prize, backer should not cancel their pledge in that campaign.

It is possible to win multiple prizes by backing multiple campaigns or in the same campaign on different days (likely with a different prize). Check out the campaigns with the least backers since those have the best odds!

In the event a project is not funded, winning draws from that campaign will be forfeit. Winning draws from other campaigns but featuring a non-funded prize will change to a different game at the pledge manager stage.

You will see your prizes after the campaigns end, at the pledge manager stage. Prizes do not count towards the shipping discounts (you must actually pledge to different campaigns to get the shipping discounts).

5. Public record

Each day's 14 results will be posted in the BoardGameGeek thread at some time after the cut-off date. The exact posting time may vary slightly because the process is performed manually.
 
Every roll is final. The actual random rolls are generated using BoardGameGeek's Geek Randomizer (full details here).
BGG's Geek Randomizer records information about each roll, including the roller, roll expression, result, comment, and date. Rolls cannot be deleted or detached from the post in which they were created.

The public record will contain information necessary to verify each draw, such as:

- Campaign name
- Number of participants at cutoff
- Randomizer expression
- Random result

Winner identification and prize fulfillment are handled privately through the GameFiesta campaign records and will likely be shared in campaign updates of their own campaign, mentioning username but masking email to show only a few characters with no domain.

🍀 Good luck! Thank you for supporting GameFiesta and the participating tabletop game campaigns.

BGG's Geek Randomizer records information about each roll, including the roller, roll expression, result, comment, and date. Rolls cannot be deleted or detached from the post in which they were created.

The public record will contain information necessary to verify each draw, such as:

- Campaign name
- Number of participants at cutoff
- Randomizer expression
- Random result

Winner identification and prize fulfillment are handled privately through the GameFiesta campaign records and will likely be shared in campaign updates of their own campaign, mentioning username but masking email to show only a few characters with no domain.

🍀 Good luck! Thank you for supporting GameFiesta and the participating tabletop game campaigns.
