Daggerheart (2025)

Overview

Daggerheart is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game published by Darrington Press, an imprint of Critical Role Productions. The game was released in 2025. Description Daggerheart is a story-docused role-playing game system, where the rules direct players to think narratively and not just mechanically. The game uses a system called Duality Dice, where players roll two twelve-sided dice. One for Hope and one for Fear. In addition to determining whether the character achieves success or fails at the action they are trying to perform, it also generates a helpful Hope resource for the player, or a challenging Fear resource for the game master (GM). Lead designer Spenser Starke explained that there is "also no initiative in Daggerheart". It functions very much like a

or a

game, where the GM is making moves on certain dice rolls and we're passing play back and forth as a conversation. It all flows together in a way that supports the storytelling-first direction that Critical Role has really embraced over the last decade". The game features 279 supplemental cards to track player abilities and characteristics. Darrington Press also launched several digital resources, including an online custom card creator.

New to Daggerheart? Jump into the action with an adventure! Join and learn to play Daggerheart, a system from the team at Critical Role. This adventure will teach you the basics of Daggerheart! A magical forest has appeared overnight at the city’s edge, warping reality with vibrant trees, shifting paths, and strange creatures. Tasked with investigating, you and your party will find that the forest defies ordinary rules. You must confront its puzzles, trials, and encounters that test creativity, patience, and teamwork rather than just combat skill, and every choice you make shapes how the forest responds and what secrets it reveals. This short 6 to 8 session adventure is perfect for D&D players trying Daggerheart for the first time. You’ll start at level 1 and finish at level 2, experiencing both roleplay and combat while exploring whimsical, Feywild-inspired magic. Strange occurrences, playful transformations, and unusual creatures will keep you and your party engaged and wondering what’s real; and what is the forest’s enchantment. At moments where the Feywild touches the material plane, magic becomes alive and emotions heightened, creating unexpected, delightful experiences. Danger is rare; discovery, creativity, and teamwork take center stage. What to expect: 🔷 Linear, episodic sessions. Great for those who are objective minded 🔷 Weekly test of morals and values each episode 🔷 In the moment world building to stretch you creativity 🔷 Epic battle finale where you recruit allies 🔷 The realism of the everyday fantasy world mixed with the whimsy of the magical Feywild The forest isn’t just a place to explore, it’s an invitation for you and your party to play differently, think differently, and see how your choices shape the story. Are you ready to step inside together? A breakdown of the campaign can be found at this primer  to help you get a grasp of the tone and feel. $25 + SPG fees per a player per a session. Game can be found here on SPG . Contact me if you have any questions at all.

Jess
TTRPG player based in Melbourne (AEST), looking for a consistent group that values thoughtful storytelling, strong table dynamics, collaborative play and finishing campaigns. My playstyle sits between narrative and systems. I care about character arcs, party cohesion, and thematic depth, but I also engage properly with mechanics—decisions should matter, and the system should have weight. I’m particularly drawn to settings with strong worldbuilding, moral tension, or mythic/spiritual undertones rather than pure power fantasy. Experience-wise, I’ve played D&D and adjacent systems, and although i am a newbie at TTRPGs, I am a skilled board game player and used to run board game groups so I’m comfortable picking up new rules quickly. I also design board games on the side, so I tend to engage with systems analytically without disrupting flow.  At the table, I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of pacing and spotlight balance. I prefer collaborative groups over chaotic or meme-heavy play. Not interested in flakey scheduling or competitive groups with alpha players.  For games, I am more drawn to immersive worlds with meaningful decisions than combat heavy game systems. Games like Dune, Daggerheart, Numenera, Candela Oscura, Call of Cthulhu etc interest me the most. Logistics: Evenings AEST work best. Mainly open to online using VTTs like Alchemy (preferred) or Roll20 and Foundy.  Happy to align on tone, boundaries, and expectations upfront
