Gloomhaven second edition revealed with "fully rewritten campaign" and new reputation system

gamesradar.com:

A new crowdfunding campaign from Cepholair games has given us our first good look at the Gloomhaven RPG, a second edition for the popular board game with dramatically reworked elements, and miniatures for the entire series - including the recently-released sequel, Frosthaven.

Revealed via Backerkit, the 'Gloomhaven Grand Festival' is a blowout of information on every corner of the Gloomhaven universe along with reduced prices for all those new products if you pledge. To begin with, the Gloomhaven RPG was shown off with a core rulebook and deluxe boxset featuring class decks, rules sporting an alternate gold foil-laced cover, a 'Gloom Master' screen, and a 'battle chest' box to hold it all. Next, hundreds of miniatures for use with the RPG and the board games were unveiled, offering an original model for every single Gloomhaven and Frosthaven enemy. Finally, a significant overhaul of the original Gloomhaven (which usually ranks high on most lists of the best board games) was also displayed, revealing a reworked campaign and revised classes.

This seems to have hit the spot with fans; although the campaign has a target of $2,000,000, it's already hit almost $1,430,000 after just a few hours. Because there's a lot to go through, we've broken down all the juicy details below.

While this new version of the fan-favorite board game for adults is broadly similar to its 2017 predecessor, Gloomhaven Second Edition is described as a 'refined' experience with plenty of new features. While we knew about the rebalanced classes, some have been renamed (the Brute is now the Bruiser, for example) and given entirely new miniatures to go with all-new art and design across the project.
