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
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.

The Great Sir Barkalot Rescue!

Homebrew Homebrew
Adult Adult
In the frontier town of Greystone, where merchants shout their wares and adventurers pass through on their way to unknown destinations, a note on the town board catches your eye: beekeeper Milla's most loyal companion, Sir Barkalot, has vanished, and a reward of two handfuls of gold awaits whoever brings him safely home. Some speak of strange little figures in the fields, while others whisper of dark forces pulling the strings. One thing is certain: this will be an adventure that tests your courage, wits, and teamwork, with hopefully as much laughter as danger along the way!

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.

Hi Im Nil (any/all) here's my quick intro and prefered playstyle. I started playing around 2015-16. I am a roleplay heavy player, I adore ttrpgs and I’m always enthusiastic about the games. I love collective roleplaying and teamwork, interesting pcs and npcs alike a good plot and a mystery. I love the social collective storytelling aspect of ttrpgs. I love lore and love to explore the mysteries and secrets of the setting. I do not shy away from combat either and view it as another tool for rp. I always try to make mechanics of my character, reflect the roleplaying aspects and their story. I usually play characters who are interested in the world, its lore, and knowledge. Inquisitive, curious people to some extent, I love to play spellcasters, usually those who are mechanically oriented around support of the party. This is the general silver lining of all my characters. I am free on Tuesdays, Thursday and Mondays

Hi, there! Welcome to The RPG Gazette, I hope you made yourself cozy! We are Yuno & Șerban, the co-founders of this project. We came up with this idea after perhaps too many early sangrias on some Spanish beach close to two years ago, when we decided that we want to do more for promoting and nurturing the broader TTRPG community. Thus, we decided we will not write that much about D&D, instead focusing on showcasing other TTRPGs, through reviews, news and essays, some of them structured more like opinion pieces and some of them more academic in nature.

Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of

TTRPG

Complex
Conan 2d20 or "Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of", is a low-magic, high-action, fantasy roleplaying game set millennia ago, in the Hyborian Age. Immersed in an exotic land, strewn with ancient ruins, Stygian jungles and frozen wastes - where the heroes are daring, the treasures fleeting and the horrors Lovecraftian. Magic is shunned (but present nonetheless) and sorcerers are vilified; their dark machinations and obscene rituals have earned them fearful reputations and, often as not, a swift burning at the stake. Description The players can create competent and cunning characters from the start (best done with the online character generator - below) and immerse themselves in the joy of battle, tactical play and clever use of the environment. Teamwork is strongly encourage via archetypal characters, powerful talents and the use of shared Momentum and Doom resources, that can be used to spectacular effect or perilous misadventure.  System Overview & Key Features Momentum and Doom points are shared resources that accumulate during action scenes and battles. They are spent to activate powerful talents and abilities, which allow the characters to perform outrageous feats and spectacular displays - or imperil them just when they thought they were safe. Displays are a methods of intimidation, varying techniques that enable a character to demoralise their foes and strike fear into the hearts of man and beast alike. Win the war before it starts! Wounds and healing mechanics that allow character to shrug off scrapes but still significantly suffer from serious injuries until healed. Skills and talents related to them that cater for most possible situations and allow for daring escapades and mighty battles.
