Fan-made Gloomhaven expansion The Crimson Scales raises more than $300K

What emerged was a full-fledged expansion with 66 new scenarios, 100 items, 11 unique classes with 11 new miniatures, a bunch of new monsters, and original artwork.“I see my part of it, at least, as a love letter to Gloomhaven,” said Sims, who wrote The Crimson Scales. You can even go back and play all of the old scenarios [with these new characters].”Eisenbach, who has been more on the project management and logistics side of things than Sims, says he’s been in close contact with Childres’ team at Cephalofair Games pretty much the whole time.“I’ve been communicating with them over email, letting them know about the project,” Eisenbach said. Eisenbach has a prototype of his own campaign board game going on display at the Origins Game Fair starting June 8, and Sims, for his part, is still just a little bit dumbstruck by his luck.“I joined a forum [not long ago] because I thought it might be cool to make some Kickstarter stuff, and now I’m the social media manager for a games company,” Sims said.
