The Creative Minds Behind Cephalofair

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed - Project Lead

Drew Penn (He/Him), typically known as “Gripeaway”, was a developer of Jaws of the Lion and Frosthaven and a project lead on Gloomhaven: Second Edition. He lives in Paris, France with his partner Jessica and cat Hakata. Prior to working directly with Cephalofair, Drew was creating community class guides for Gloomhaven classes.

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed - Project Lead

Dennis Vögele (He/Him), typically known as “Themris”, was a developer of Frosthaven and a project lead on Gloomhaven: Second Edition. Before working on official Gloomhaven content, Dennis was creating custom classes and got involved with moderating the Gloomhaven subreddit.

Buttons & Bugs - Co-Designer

Nikki Valens (They/Them) is a co-designer for Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs. Their previous designs include Mansions of Madness Second Edition, Legacy of Dragonholt, Artisans of Splendent Vale, and many more compelling story heavy games.

ASSISTANT DESIGNER

Misty Burgess (She/Her) is an assisting designer and developer on Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs as well as an upcoming, unannounced project. Outside of Cephalofair, she is a music composer and tutor. 

Gloomhaven RPG Lore,  Writer and Designer

B (He/They) has been involved with Cephalofair Games since 2019, beginning his Gloomhaven life playtesting products like Jaws of the Lion and Frosthaven before eventually being given the lofty and wonderfully arcane sounding title of 'Lore Master'. B cares deeply about developing and showcasing the sometimes strange, sometimes irreverent, always gloomy world of Gloomhaven with more focus than we've been previously able. Now a writer and designer for the RPG, you can usually find B talking about why harrower language is basically eldritch magic and elements are just echoes of emotions to anyone that will listen.
