The Creative Minds Behind Cephalofair
Cephalofair would also be nowhere without the talent of so many additional sculptors, artists, and editors who have helped shape our worlds
Gloomhaven 2nd Ed Project Lead (He/Him)
Drew Penn, 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.
CO-DESIGNER (They/Them)
Nikki Valens 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 (She/Her)
Misty Burgess 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.
RPG LEAD (She/They)
Danielle Lauzon is a freelance game designer, writer, developer, and gamer living in Austin, TX with her husband, two dogs, and three cats. When she isn't writing, developing, designing, or otherwise occupied in getting games organized, she is playing games instead. She has been working in the ttrpg industry for over a decade and has over 50 credits to her name from companies such as Onyx Path Publishing, Magpie Games, and Green Ronin. She’s excited to be working with Cephalofair on the Gloomhaven RPG.
Gloomhaven RPG Lore, Writer and Designer (He/They)
B 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.
