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
Powered By The Apocalypse
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. $30 + SPG fees per a player per a session. Game can be found here on SPG . Contact me if you have any questions at all.

Hey all! Looking for a group to join. I'm Blake. I've been getting into CRPGs like Baldur's Gate, which got me hooked on the D&D ruleset and world — now looking to bring that to the tabletop(New Player) What I'm looking for: A steady group with a regular session cadence Open to any edition (5e preferred, but flexible) Happy to play whatever role/class the party needs I lean toward tactical, thoughtful characters — enjoy planning out a fight as much as playing it out. Easygoing, shows up prepared, good with both roleplay-heavy and combat-heavy sessions. Feel free to reach out if you've got an opening!

Okay thats all, thanks for reading.

Hello. I am a 1-year player looking for a weekly group on either Wednesdays or Thursdays (available after 1PM (GMT)). If life doesn’t unexpectedly come in the way, I am reliable and can commit to consistently showing up to the game. I enjoy both character-driven games and combat, but I would prefer to find a game with a stronger focus on the roleplay side of things.

Dork Day Afternoon is a table top role playing game, actual play podcast. We're not professional voice actors, writers, producers, musicians, or media moguls (not for a lack of trying).  We are a group of people that have had so much fun playing TTRPGs, that we thought we might see if other people would like to listen in on our games. DDA's roots were cultivated and nursed to life through the glorious game systems of Dungeons and Dragons, AD&D, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Shadowrun, Twilight: 2000, Delta Green, and the most beloved... Hero Quest Shows Two Past Midnight DDA's actual play campaign of Twilight 2000 4th edition game system. Twilight: 2000 is a role playing game about a "World War III that never was". Our character's begin the campaign lost and stranded in a war torn Poland during the year 2000. Join us each week to hear how they keep body and soul intact as they search for a way home. The balloon has gone up and the clocks have stopped, but time marches on... Rogues of Vättern Dork Day Afternoon heads to Sweden where we'll be taking a "deep dive" into "Hostile Waters", Free League's rules and setting supplement, and to see how 2nd Marine Division has faired in the post apocalyptic world of Twilight: 2000.  Join us as we follow a small group of intrepid Leathernecks from small crafts platoon to see how they navigate the fjords of Sweden and the turbulent waters of the new political landscape. Will they complete their mission? Can they make it back home? Will they improvise, adapt and overcome or will they be doomed to the icy deep? Oorah! Encore of the Lost DDA's play through of the Extinction Curse adventure path written for the Pathfinder Second Edition game system, published by Paizo, Inc. Join us as we gracefully stumble through circus crowds and the Pathfinder Second Edition rules. Our intrepid adventurers put on a show...while putting on a show...while trying to unravel ancient mysteries.
