Has there been any info on whether the RPG Deluxe Box Set will be available for purchase retail, post campaign. My group is undecided on whether we want to purchase as we're still playing through Frosthaven and Gloomhaven 2E. I would much rather wait to see what's available a few years from now before deciding...

Again some random 3D printed scenario's.

I feel like I'm spamming the sub, apologize for that.

I recently shared version 0.6.0, but I feel like I need to get this updated version out, since it has a some major bugfixes, along with another requested feature.

Fivers Frosthaven Trainer is a tool to modify the ruleset, and now also savefiles for the digital version of Frosthaven. Check this thread for more info.

Version 0.6.1

Additions

• Enhancement reset

Bugfixes

• For some reason, editing 'Target' on items didn't work on the specific item pages. This has now been fixed.
• Editing the 'Usage' on items was broken, and didn't change the ruleset. This has been fixed. You can now successfully change your items so they can be used as much as you want.
• Added a failsafe to prevent corrupting save-files. (Was a very unlikely scenario, but should still be guarded against)
• Prevents rare case of items getting their values wiped.

Enhancements:

In the save-file, there is a new tab, 'Enhancements', which lets you reset chosen characters enhancements. This will reset all their cards. I had hoped to implement a smoother version of this, but this is the best solution I could manage for now.

Exception: Pain Conduits card 'Unstable Effigy' cannot be reset, because the card-ID exists on multiple places in the ruleset, and in one case under another characters cards. It's a really weird situation, but for safety reasons, that card is excluded from getting wiped.

If you are using the program, I highly suggest getting the newest release.

Sorry for the slightly spammy post, but I had a few people that wanted me to let them know when JOTL was back in stock but I lost track of who they were. Therefore, I just wanted to post here that JOTL is back in stock at Cephalofair.com and likely other retailers shortly.

As of now, Frosthaven should be not far behind, and Buttons and Bugs and Merc Packs are trending towards early fall. (As well as the Pub Crawlers release)

(Minis/RPG still slated for December-February fulfillment)

The rulebook states "if there are no available standees, the summon fails". I assumed this meant actual standees and not summoning circles. So I was wondering if the game even expects you to put a summoning circle on the board and then put a standee on top, or if it's just a standee.

I'm specifically asking, because I foresee a situation where there are still standees left, but no summoning circles. Sure, it's unlikely, as there are 14 of those circles, but if it happened, does the summoning fail? Or are you not even supposed to use those circles for enemy summons? I feel like I should, because I need to keep track of them, so I know which enemies drop coins.

Playing scenario 64 with Deathwalker. After round 10 we read as instructed and it was especially bad for Deathwalker because all shadows were deleted. Do y’all use custom rules to change this To allow shadows to be moved to the center map along with summons?

I'm super happy how his cape turned out! Intentionally went a bit cartoonish with the eyes, i think it suits him pretty well

Let me know what you think!

Hired Help is a persistent effect card. The way it’s written can be interpreted at least two ways from my perspective:

1) you can use it once, and it’s persistent to remind you the enemy stays enhanced forever.

2) you can, at any point and repeatedly, pay a loot token to an adjacent normal enemy to turn them.

I’m assuming it’s a single use card, and at the time it is played you must spend a single loot token to turn a single adjacent enemy? And then it’s dormant as an effect?

Three of these will be going up later today on Instagram, so you can see them here first. The others were shown previously on social media and in the three previews so far.

The Fungal Monk preview should go out Wednesday to the insider newsletter, and then up on social media Thursday.

EDIT: Quick context so it's not confusing: Cephalofair has announced Pub Crawlers, an expansion to Buttons and Bugs. The articles above preview the expansion. It includes two new classes, the Fungal Monk and the Whistlecry. This week's preview (which will go out tomorrow if you're subscribed to the Insider Newsletter and otherwise go up Thursday on social media) will look at the Fungal Monk, so this post is recapping the various teaser cards that have bene shown in previews so far. Hope that helps!

Hello folks! There is scant available for Gloomhaven 2e Class Guides. Are there any recommended guides for the 2e version of the Sun Class; alternatively, how closely is the Sun Class to it's 1e counterpart?

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Hello everyone, apologies if this has been asked before but I could not find it in the rules. The following scenario happened today during our game. I was playing boneshaker and had a summon out, then:

Round starts:

- Enemy immobilizes my summon

- My turn, summon attacks melee without needing to move

- I want to play card to make my summon move but...

Is the summon still immobilized until the end of my turn or does it go away after they already "went"?

Can the Orchid Spellweaver attack Enemy 3 with the Heatwave ability, if it has an attack pattern featured? We're seeing some conflicting answers.

Thanks in advance!

Specifically, the Personal Quest has us add a specific Personal Quest # to the deck. Does this suggest we don't then add the one random Personal Quest to the deck in addition? 133.4 if anyone wants to check.

Does anyone have a list of all the battlegoals?

The reason I am asking is that, when playing digital i keep forgetting all about I during play, which usually results in failing it. Therefore I was planning on printing a page with all of them that I could have in front of me during play.

Hi everyone, Fiver here.

Some of you may remember a while back that I shared a trainer for the digital version of Frosthaven. You can check that one out here.

I haven't been able to work on it much recently, but I sat down this week and got to work. I am now releasing version 0.6.0, and it comes with exciting new features, as well as a change of plans for the future pipeline.

In version 0.6.0:

Existing features

• Character Editing: Change HP for all levels (1-9) for all characters, as well as available cards on hand.
• Mass Character Editing All values can be maxed to their allowed value by single-click menu options.
• Unlock Characters: Unlock starting classes (currently Snowflake, Fist, Meteor, Prism, Trap)
• Item Editing: Modify item stats and properties.
• Mass Item Editing All item values can be set to desired values by a popup window with all the fields needed. Leave fields empty to skip changing that value.
• Ability Card Editing: Change ability card effects and values.
• Mass Ability Card Editing All ability card values can be edited to desired values in a popup window with all needed fields. Leave fields empty to skip changing that value.
• NEW: Savefile editing

Pipeline update

I am no longer planning on implementing enhancement editing. It is possible to edit the gold cost, but it only takes effect on level one cards, and the scaling that increases cost per enhancement still ignores any changed values from the ruleset.

Higher level cards, enhancement amount scaling, etc, are probably hardwired somewhere else than the ruleset file. They do exist, but editing them doesn't change anything. Since you can now edit how much gold you have, enhancement editing is no longer a priority.

NEW FEATURE: Campaign Save Editor

It is now possible to edit campaign savefiles. Instructions on where they are and how to do it are in the application, as well as the in readme.

Things you can edit: - Town variables - Herb amounts - Base Defense - Prosperity - Prosperity level - Morale - Town perks - Amount of Soldiers - Soldiers capacity

• Character variables
  • Adding amount of gold a character has
  • Editing amount of Lumber a character has
  • Editing amount of Hide a character has
  • Editing amount of Metal a character has

Gold, material, and herbs, are all capped at 9999. If you increase them too much, it slows down the game.

Notes about save file editing

• You may need to turn of Steam Cloud saves for this feature to work. Savefile edits get silently reverted if Steam Cloud restores its copy on launch. Instructions on how to do this are in the application.
• You should close the game before editing any saves.
• Save files are automatically backed up the first time you open them. To restore them, head to the save folder and delete the 'Autosave<latest-save>.dat', then replace it with the 'Autosave<latest-save>.dat.bak' by simply renaming that file and removing the '.bak' part
• You must save and close the ruleset editor before opening the save-editor, and vice versa. You cannot have them both open at the same time.

Fixes

• Fixed error where some cards and items couldn't be saved due to range underflow.
• Prevents "file opened successfully" message from appearing if a file window was opened, but closed without loading a file

Misc

• Adds further troubleshooting information
• Adds a toast that shows when a file wasn't saved successfully
• Opening a .dat file that isn't a frosthaven save, will display an error message

To download the trainer, head over to https://github.com/Holyfivr/Fivers-Frosthaven-Trainer/releases and grab the latest release.

How to run

Simply download the zip file, unzip anywhere, and run the program. When you run the application you will get a popup that says "Windows protected your PC" Click "More info", and "run anyway".

This is a built in safety measure that is activated whenever a program has no code signing certificate. Getting one of those costs money, and since this is a training project for myself, I will not bother with that

I’m considering retiring my Music Note, and put my brain on pause by playing the Silent Knife. Looking at the cards and perks, I clearly see this class has a loot addiction. There are perks that will make me rich with no impact to my companions (like the city event thing). But I feel the Silent Knife’s mobility and card actions make it particularly good at looting any room. This is probably at the expense of my companions’ own ability to gain gold (because I’ll do so faster, better, and in a more action effective way).

My question is : is this supposed to be balanced? I mean, is the class supposed to actually need that much gold to enhance their cards so I keep up with what my companions do? Or is this a real advantage that I’m getting, effectively robbing my companions of what I was supposed to share?

Where We At, Fam?

It has been a while since my last update, even longer since my last true non-April Fools update! So, where is the project at?

Well, behind the scenes, progress has been made. While I have had much that I have been doing IRL (finishing my master's, preparing to move across the globe, etc.), I have still been putting time towards this project. Furthermore, others on the project have helped with playtesting, Rift Card writing, and other aspects. There are a number of fellow humans all working together on this project - and it is super exciting to see how it has grown behind the scenes.

Now that I am more-or-less finished with my internship and master's and I am in a lull before I move, I am putting a lot of time and energy into trying to push this out the door. I am making no guarantees. However, I have personally made great progress (especially on writing more Rift Events, working on the Section Book, and coordinating efforts with four of the guest writers).

The biggest hindrance that I have right now is getting artists for some of the monster artwork. About seven monsters/bosses still need artwork as of right now and since I am essentially going to be spending most of my life living on monthly financial support raised from others while working with an NGO long-term, I have to be careful how much money I throw towards commissions. That being said, I have found a couple of artists that have got me this far and I am hoping that I can find some more that can help me get these last few taken care of, while being both economical to my realities and - crucially - also fair to any artists involved.

So, Gimme a Timeline!

I would LOVE to! Yet I cannot promise that. In my dream world, I would make the best use of these next two months and finish the whole project in this time period, but I am also making preparations to move across the globe (i.e. selling, donating, and getting rid of many of my things). However, that's not to say that there isn't a positive feedback loop there! After all, selling some of my things here in the U.S. can help me make money to contract artists!

You Know You Could Just Use AI Art Instead, Right?

...I'm not using AI art in this project. I know some people have suggested that that could speed up the project, but I think one of the beautiful things about Random Dungeons Plus is that it has grown from my one-man project into a collaboration of individuals across literal oceans. I intend to keep the human touch of this project intact. That includes any artwork contributed to the project as far as I am able to control it. Besides, let's be real: While the algorithms themselves are not inherently wrong or evil, the vast majority of AI generated art is trained off of stolen content. And theft is evil.

Some New Rift Event Cards

Here are a few new Rift Event Cards for your viewing pleasure! Please enjoy:

I Want to Contribute to Random Dungeons Plus 1.0!

If you want to contribute, right now these are ways that you can join in:

• Playtesters
• Artists (while I cannot guarantee that I will use any of your art or be able to commission you, I would be happy to view your portfolio!)
• Rift Event Guest Writers (there is still time if you want to write a Rift Event or two)

And that's about it for the main Random Dungeons Plus 1.0 update! I have a little bonus section on the end if you want to stick around regarding the April Fool's Video too, but if you're just looking for an update on the main project, that's it. I'll see you next time! :)

So, About That April Fool's Gloomhaven ASMR Video You Posted Here... :)

Yeah, I will admit, I did not expect it to pop off like it did, haha!! XD

So, for those of y'all that don't know, I've done a little bit of hobby voice acting behind-the-scenes. I thought it would be funny to do a silly little video with Gloomhaven references in it and after doing some research in voice acting communities, decided that the funniest mash-up possible would be a romantic role-play ASMR. I had never done anything like this before, but like any project I do (Random Dungeons Plus 1.0 included) I decided I would go all out.

If I was gonna do this, I was gonna make it so good that (hopefully) if someone clicked it and didn't know it was an April Fool's video and missed the board game references, they'd think it was a legit ASMR romance video.

So, I wrote three SFW scripts and ultimately settled on this one. I then recorded it, posted it, and expected one of two outcomes:

1. It gets a couple of views from the Gloomhaven community and some laughs.
2. It gets downvoted into oblivion for being cringe in some people's eyes.

I knew that when I made it, either outcome was likely, but I would be okay even if option 2 was the outcome because I had a lot of fun making it. Voice acting is a pretty fun hobby of mine, even though I am far from an expert at it!

Then Came the First Hundred Views

I was a bit caught off guard by this. It started to gain some natural traction. This was already way more than I expected, but by the time it got shared on the Gloomhaven Grand Festival Community Showcase, things got a bit wild.

The video became exposed to the wider Gloomhaven community - and then the algorithm started to recommend my one-and-only ASMR romance video to people who listen to legit boyfriend ASMR romance content on YouTube. Then it picked up another couple hundred views.

It is not a ton, but it is currently sitting at a little under 400 views (as of 7/19/2026), which is crazy for an April Fool's Day meme video - and FAR outpacing the community engagement for my main Random Dungeons Plus 1.0 Project.

Are You Saying You're Doing More Gloomhaven ASMR Content in the Future?

...Maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe. ;)

While that won't be the main focus of these posts, since my main project here is Random Dungeons Plus 1.0, I might just make some more.

I have some ideas for both Gloomhaven and non-Gloomhaven related ASMR content in the future.

However, just some ground rules that I am establishing up front (especially now that I am growing more familiar with the ASMR community):

• I am not committing to a schedule. This is a secondary project.
• I am only doing SFW content. Period. At least insofar as suggestive stuff goes. Please don't ask me to do anything else.
  • That is not to say that there won't be fighting, drinking, and stuff of the like in some of the Gloomhaven scripts. That may be PG-13. The script involving Angry Face involves some violence and the script involving the Vermling involves some alcohol use, for example.

Have a wonderful day! 😃

My father and I have started 3D printing MagHex tiles and terrain pieces for Gloomhaven using a Bambu Lab P1S to create dimensional dungeon environments. We’ve been painting our miniatures with Army Painter, but the cost becomes prohibitive when you need to paint hundreds of terrain tiles, walls, and scattered objects.

What We’re Looking For

We need affordable acrylic paints that look good, hold up durably, and are available online in Europe/Germany. We want to achieve the detailed, atmospheric look shown in our reference images—stone floors, wood interiors, lava-filled caverns, etc.

I’ve seen that Xevin uses Apple Barrel paints in his MagHex painting tutorial with great results. Does anyone have experience with Apple Barrel for this kind of project? That said, I’m very open to other suggestions and would be grateful for any better paint recommendations!

Has anyone tackled a similar large-scale 3D terrain painting project? Any budget-friendly alternatives would be greatly appreciated!

The effects are: Strengthen/ward/bless "target 2 adjacent allies and self"

Our group is debating whether that means you get three buffs or two buffs.

The argument for 3 is "two adjacent allies" + "and self"

The argument for 2 is "target 2, from the set of (adjacent allies and self)". Also vigor potion is a lightly upgraded version of the muscle potion which is "strengthen self". So it goes from 1 buff to 2. Three buffs would be unusually strong.

Which is correct?

Hello strangers,

my nephews are 12.5 years and 10 years old. Currently they love playing Dominion when they visit me. I recently bought 2 further expansions (bringing my collection up to 7?), and I will play that with them for a while.

But to be honest, I'm kind of getting bored of Dominion and always wanted to check out Gloomhaven/Frosthaven; as far as I understand it, those games also include some deck building (while it absolutely not being the main focus).

I also don't want to introduce my nephews too late to Gloomhaven: there will probably only be a few years left where my nephews have interest in visiting me before other stuff becomes more important for them (especially since they live ~2hours away from me)

About my nephews:
- both have above average intelligence
- the older one is one of the biggest nerds in existence and loves fantasy (and mangas/anime) and really immersing himself in a setting/world/book
- the younger one likes fantasy (but currently hates mangas/anime apart from Pokémon), but usually likes shorter games and I think isn't as much interested in immersing himself;
he also has dyslexia, but with ongoing treatmeant is only slightly below average in reading skills (and has a verified IQ > 130 which allivates that in a lot of contexts); but reading too much still exhausts him; some required reading would actually be a bonus point though

I have a few questions:
- Is Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion still the best starting point?
- How much reading do the players need to do (compared to Dominion)?
- How much deck building is in the games? (not a lot I think)
- How age appropiate are the games? Violence, sexual themes, etc.?
- Are 10-20 hours of time per year enough to play the game(s)?
- Are there any releases like second editions planned I should wait for, before jumping on board?

Note: What would be the correct flair for my post? I hope Jaws of the Lion is kind of ok.

We are nearing the end of Frosthaven and I want to start looking into another board game. Something co op. Something with leveling up and a continued story line. What did you play afterward that scratched the itch? I have also taken a liking to painting miniatures as well so if a game includes those that would be amazing.
