Gripnr secures $2.5 Million to bring Tabletop Roleplaying Games to Blockchain

Gripnr, a New Orleans-based Web3 technology company that brings tabletop games to the blockchain, has now secured $2.5 million in funding.

Gripnr was founded by Brent McCrossen. It is a Web3 technology company that brings tabletop games to the blockchain. Glimmering, Gripnr’s first game release, is set to launch its genesis NFT collection in the month of May 2022.

Brent McCrossen, CEO of Gripnr, said, "We are focused on building an active, respectful, and super awesome community of tabletop gaming fans and NFT collectors who want to join our vision of bringing 5E gameplay to the blockchain. Gripnr was created to support the players, game masters, artists, and game designers that have made TTRPGs for the last 50 years."

Creator and President Patrick Comer, said,  "After the acquisition of Lucid, I was looking for my next frontier. As a lifelong Dungeons & Dragons player, it was clear to me that tabletop roleplaying games is the perfect use case for the blockchain, so I decided to jump in and bring other gamers along for the ride."

The round was led by Sopris Capital, XBTO Humla Ventures, Abstraction Ventures, Better Angels, Carl Sparks, Voodoo Ventures, as well as a series of New Orleans-based investors.

The company, as of now, has plans to use the new funds to launch its first 5E game and genesis NFT collection, The Glimmering.
