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.

Hi fellow adventurers, I am sending a message regarding us recruiting adventurers for our campaign that has been running on fridays at 18:30 since 09/2025. This campaign is a Daggerheart homebrew campaign. We are in a world called Velorã. We are on the continent called Elandra that consists of two countries, one that is lush and thriving and one that is dying because magic is being siphoned away because of a disease or not. For more info, hit me up and we can plan an interview. We started the campaign with 1 DM and 5 players, but sadly one of the players did not fit our vibe, and another just left today because of personal issues in her life, so because of this we are looking for two new people to join our game. Luckily, we are not that far in the game since we do love long roleplay sessions and fun adventures. We do have a good rhythm in-game and keep it going too, so we do not stay stuck in one place for long, but we love detailed sessions and worldbuilding. As a DM, I try to make sure that every player feels special and gets their time to shine, and luckily the players we have are very good at pushing each other into the spotlight. Their characters are fun, detailed, and sometimes complex, but that does not keep the long serious roleplay or the dramatic funny roleplay away. My DM style, it is a very bravado, camp, serious style. Think of it as a grown gay man that puts a drag outfit on for each character. Each NPC has one thing that is strong about them and makes them funny or interesting. As a person, I like my place to be a safe haven for everyone, so we are looking for people that are open for long roleplay, but also open-minded for the queerness in our group, and also people that can deal with neurodivergent people since most of the people in our group are neurodivergent. To me, it is important that there is a safe haven. Also, this does not really affect the game since we are all really into roleplaying or writing. Because of this, we have fun stories and roleplay, but also fun in general. If you wanna join or want more info, DM me on here with the following info list, and then we will plan an interview in the oncoming week. This interview consists of two parts. One is  a vibe interview with me and at least one player. For the second part we go into a one-shot test round. Since we find it important to find the correct players for this table, we will discuss after each part of the interview. Info list Discord username: Age: Pronounce: timezone/country: Mic and webcam status: Playstyle: A decent mic is required, a webcam is preferred but the most important is the vibe and respect!

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.

23 years old, from Albania, mostly a beginner, focused on DnD 5e and 5.5e and Daggerheart. I started learning about dnd 5e in 2021, so I'm aware of the most basic rules, but I haven't had the chance to play in person. My favourite game is Baldur's Gate 3, and while it's based on dnd rules, it doesn't fulfill the desire to play with a community for me as I've played solo.
