Description:
What is Daggerheart?
Daggerheart is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game of brave heroics and vibrant worlds that are built together with your gaming group. Create a shared story with your adventuring party, and shape your world through rich, longterm campaign play.

Succeed or Fail with Hope or Fear
When it's time for the game mechanics to control fate, players roll one HOPE die and one FEAR die (both 12sided dice), which will ultimately impact the outcome for your characters. This duality between the forces of hope and fear on every hero drives the unique characterfocused narratives in Daggerheart.

Become Your Own Hero
In addition to dice, Daggerheart’s card system makes it easy to get started and satisfying to grow your abilities by bringing your characters’ background and capabilities to your fingertips. Ancestry and Community cards describe where you come from and how your experience shapes your customs and values. Meanwhile, your Subclass and Domain cards grant your character plenty of tantalizing abilities to choose from as your character evolves. Craft your unique character through the cards you choose and the story you tell, and become the hero you want to be!

Join Our Team
We want anyone and everyone (over the age of 18, please) to help us make Daggerheart as wonderful as possible, which means…helping us break the game. Seriously! The game is not finished or polished yet, which is why it’s critical (ha!) to gather all of your feedback ahead of Daggerheart’s public release in 2025.
