I’m not Price! I’m T and I’m filling in for Price this month while he is away for a bit. Let’s get into it!
9.15.26 Update Image
Gloomhaven Role Playing Game
RPG Production continues!
Last week, a friend of ours was actually getting a tour of the production facility for their own company and saw the RPG in production! They were kind enough to send us a video of the printing plates being created. Can you see which faction deck printing plate is being made in this video? It’s very subtle.
And the video I could watch for hours - the playing card decks being printed. It’s mesmerizing. I should ask our friend to just film cards being printed for an hour straight and post it as an ASMR video.
He even snagged a photo of the official production copy sample as it was being built. The workers build this as they finish each step of production tooling and then review it to ensure it’s all correct before spinning up the main production. Then they’ll use it as a reference for building the units during assembly.

As mentioned, those videos and pictures were taken last week and so that means production is well underway. Drying and packing times all considered, we’re looking at a mid to late October loading of the boat. Ship? Boat. No, ship. Yeah, ship.
Miniatures of Gloomhaven
Miniature production continues! Sadly the minis are being made at a different facility, so we were not lucky enough to have someone snag footage of that production. Maybe when he’s done with the ASMR video he can take a train.
We’ve submitted all the files needed for tray maps and packaging and will have the production samples approved for those ideally this week.
With the flight stands issues resolved, production on the minis themselves are underway. So that’s on track!
No spinner video this update because I haven’t yet figured out how to steal the production samples from Price’s house, but maybe next update. I really really really want to show off the Piranha Pig in their full 3D Glory. Look at those fins!! And that snout!!
Whose the bestest lil' piggy piranha friend? It is!
Result of Last Update’s Poll: Last Update’s Poll asked which game are you excited to play first with the miniatures and
Gloomhaven took the crown with a 6% lead over Frosthaven.
Finished Poll showing Gloomhaven as the winner with 36% of votes.
Which leads me to wonder how many of you are going to attempt to paint your minis before getting them on the table. I’m personally a “play it no matter the paint state” kind of person, but I know that not everyone shares that opinion. Would you play a campaign with half-painted minis? What if they’re only primed? What if they’re never painted? Honestly, I rarely finish the mobs I don’t like to fight.
Speaking of Playing
For those attending Essen SPIEL in October, we’ll have RPG play sessions available for folks to play every day. If you’re not going to make it to Germany this fall and think PAXUnplugged in Philly is more likely, we’ll have play sessions there too.
K! We'll be back in two weeks with more news and pictures and hopefully videos! See you all then! -T
PS: I asked and our friend is already back from China. No card deck printing ASMR. Sorry, everyone.
