StartPlaying has teamed up with Daggerheart publisher Darrington Press to vet 150 professional Game Masters and prepare them for release day with advance copies of the Core Rulebook. This network of GMs will be running Daggerheart games starting right on the 20th, catering to various time zones.

This week: Critical Role announced a Daggerheart mini-campaign, Paizo revealed a Pathfinder dating card game, Barnes & Noble revealed the existence of unknown Pathfinder/Starfinder books, and a BG3 artist had a bone to pick with WizKids. 

Daggerheart is a brand new narrative-driven TTRPG from Darrington Press, and it is one of the most anticipated game releases of the year. That is hardly surprising, as Daggerheart features a slick design, cinematic fast-paced combat, tons of exciting character options, and a number of tools for gamemasters to run the game exactly the way they want. Lots to love there.

Daggerheart is the exclusive Role Playing Game from Darrington Press. This is Critical Role’s gaming workshop and publisher. They have released the popular Candela Obscura from there as well. Daggerheart is a 2d12 game focused on one d12 being hope and the other being fear. When you meet a roll you get a hope point (a player advantage) if the hope die was bigger. The GM gets a Fear point (a GM Advantage) if the fear die is bigger. This push and pull yields significant narrative beats as well as mechanical advantages. Any Critter(Critical Role fandom) should be happy to give this a go. If you are looking to find a game here are some places to find a game.
