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. $25 Per a player per a session. Game can be found here on SPG. Contact me if you have any questions at all.

Axiom & Edenor

I’m putting together a campaign set across two interconnected worlds that couldn’t feel more different, but are connected in more ways than meets the eye. Axiom will likely be your starting place, a harsh, grounded setting; featuring a post-technological wasteland where civilization survives in massive walled cities built over the ruins of a lost age. Technology is rare, controlled, and often misunderstood. Life is dangerous, resources matter, and every decision carries weight. The other world, Edenor, is simply put something… brighter. A vibrant, high-fantasy realm filled with magic, celebration, and possibility. Cultures blend, wonders are commonplace, and you have the potential to be whoever you wish. Here’s the twist: You’ll be playing two versions of your character—one in each world. Your Axiom self is who you are in reality: limited, grounded, shaped by struggle.  Your Edenor self is who you could be: an idealized version, built from desire, ambition, or something missing. These aren’t just cosmetic differences. You’ll have and use separate character sheets based on which world you’re in, featuring different abilities, and adding more narrative weight. Additionally, choices in one world may ripple into the other in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. The campaign leans into: - Dual identity and self-perception - Moral decisions with long-term consequences - Mystery and slow-burn reveals - Character-driven storytelling over pure combat Tone-wise, expect a blend of: - Gritty, low-magic survival and political tension - High-fantasy exploration, wonder, and subtle unease I’m looking for players who enjoy: - Roleplay and character depth - Engaging with worldbuilding and themes - Making meaningful choices (even when they’re not easy) If you’re interested, DM me through Discord (pocketsandwich08) with the following: - Your TTRPG experience - The kind of characters you enjoy playing - What draws you to a dual-world concept like this And respond to the following forms: https://forms.gle/sZozU2wEkdRZCWE79 https://forms.gle/JHzgZDnziyMVLZQh8 The latter can take a few days as we build out your character if you’re selected, but I’d prefer it be complete before or after your first session.

I'm Alex! Teacher from Germany in my 30s, love to read and design campaigns, usually DMing one or two games a week myself, big gamer and movie enjoyer as well. I'm mostly a harmony seeking type, but I've RPed enough that I can handle some heat as well. You likely won't find me strategizing things out mid combat, I'll try to stay in character because I love the immersion, and I usually try to keep things tonally consistent. Looking forward to play with y'all!

Old enough to have played AD&D 2nd Ed, but not so set in my ways that I don't enjoy D&D 5E. Looking for long-term campaigns and interested to try new systems and genres of game.

Hi there!  My name is Sky, I'm from Hungary, I've been playing in a homebrew DnD campaign for a few years now but I'm looking to pick up a new long lasting game over Discord and Roll20 or anywhere else ^^ The best time for me is on Wednesday around 17:30 or on Thursday after 19:00! Fine with playing for 4 hours.  I'm a very shy and anxious person especially in the beginning but I'm a fun and chaotic player with an awful lot of ideas!  Roleplay is my bread and butter, I'm quick to respond especially through text side RP ^^  I'm also an ( unfortunately artblocked ) artist and I go by They/Them pronouns as I'm non-binary.  Looking forward to my new adventure! 🕺✨
