#Daggerheart by @spenserstarke.bsky.social and #DarringtonPress feels like storytelling with muscle and memory. It's not a sandbox. It's a shoreline. Things drift in, wash away, and your game is shaped by what stays.

do you want to try Daggerheart but you’re not sure how to get into it???? WELLLLLL you can sign up over on StartPlaying for my new Daggerheart 101 sessions, where we will spend the first building a level 3 character and the second fucking around and finding out! startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

Looks like the Dodo’s out of the bag! DodoBorne Season 2 airs July 1st 🎉 See ya soon! 👋🦤 #daggerheart #ttrpg #actualplay

What. Is. HAPPENING?!?!? “City of the Black Rose is […] Fucking Awesome” - Matt Mercer Excuse us while we just lightly implode with pride 🥹 Watch E1 of CR’s Age of Umbra today, run with Daggerheart from @darringtonpress.bsky.social and head over to rollandplaypress.com/cotbr to back us now!

My first #Daggerheart character and his duality dice! 🐸

Having the ✨ best ✨ group for my first #DAGGERHEART session definitely eased the pain of not winning yesterday’s raffle .. It also helps that we unanimously decided @spieleabend.bsky.social will run another game for us! 👀 Make sure to follow his Youtube channel for an upcoming review in German!

Session 0 of #daggerheart went super well. 3 people totally new to #ttrpgs picked everything up super fast and had a blast creating characters and going through CATS. The GM guide is so dang good. Now they’re clamoring for our actual session 1 as soon as possible. 👌

Spent the weekend up at a cabin in the mountains with a handful of folks playing a marathon #Daggerheart dungeon crawl set in Age of Umbra. The whole group was gen-x'r old-schoolers, and everyone loved it and had a blast. Another win for the balanced 'middle way' approach of the game's design!

Slightly more sober from my very lightweight one singular cider and having now chewed through a friends copy of the core rulebook and I can say that; Yes. I will be badgering my players into switching systems to Daggerheart because holy shit.

Yes! They are tileable in every direction you want! Thanks to @spenserstarke.bsky.social and @eliserezendes.bsky.social for giving me creative space and allowing this idea!❤️

Holy crap. I hadn't clocked this yet, but apparently the blank Daggerheart maps can all be connected if you are so inclined. The little things in this game continue to astound and impress. h/t to r/daggerheart on reddit.

The Daggerheart book really got its claws into my brain. I *need* to run a Witherwild campaign.

Umm… While we were sleeping, you guys had the audacity to take us over the £50k mark… which means OUR THIRD STRETCH GOAL IS UNLOCKED!!!! IN JUST 72 HOURS!!!! That’s 10 environmental stat blocks set around the city for Daggerheart and Lair Actions for 5e!!! THANK YOU!🙏 Rollandplaypress.com/cotbr

We're less than £2500 away from our next stretch goal!!! If we hit it, all backers get an Environments PDF with 10 locations, including Daggerheart stat blocks and 5e lair actions! We're talkin' underground fighting pits, runaway sky trams, dilapidated skyscrapers, and much more!!!

Daggerheart includes Delicious in Dungeon and Dark Souls inspired settings. It's like the team asked me personally what I wanted to see in the book. I love it so much ❤️

Daggerheart whips btw for the ttrpg heads out there, super smooth and satisfying to play and the hope/fear system is a stroke of genius

Comrades. I have run Daggerheart for over 40 new people in the last week. AND I STILL CAN'T GET ENOUGH! You gotta try it. With me. With someone else. I don't care. Just get out there and try this game!

Look what landed back in stock for us! #daggerheart

Help an indie game designer pay their rent and put food on the table! 9 pdfs for only $10!

Loved playing #Daggerheart and can't wait to find a game to join for a full campaign. Also, never realized how nice a physical character sheet was. I've only ever used digital. There's something so, wonderfully tactile about a filled out character sheet to hold on to.

After two years of waiting and beta-ing, Critical Role's fantasy TTRPG "Daggerheart" is finally here! In today's video, we walk through character creation from start to finish. Watch the whole video here: youtu.be/RdMo0f3kxKk

WE HIT OUR FIRST STRETCH GOAL IN 5 HOURS!!!! That’s our Enimies and Adversaries PDF with 10 Full Monster Stat Blocks for 5e and Daggerheart funded!!!! rollandplaypress.com/cotbr

My copy of Daggerheart arrived and… wow. Reading the PDF is one thing. Holding it in hand reinforces what a good deal the book and cards are for $60. I still really need to dig into the system, but it’s impressive nonetheless.

Reading through all the campaign frames from #daggerheart and gracious sakes there’s so much good stuff in there. Chock full of awesome ideas that make me want to play all of them. It’s exactly the amount of information I want from a module.

Okay, here’s the deal … #Daggerheart is sort of awesome. Did I need another fantasy TTRPG? No! Am I super excited to play this? YES.

So excited to pick up Daggerheart from @darringtonpress.bsky.social today at @aaronsbooks.bsky.social. And it came with a free PDF!!!

Played my 1st game of Daggerheart in a one-whot, ran by Daniel at @bladebound.bsky.social. We solved our fight with the Fungal Queen with a Plumbing project presentation - very on theme for Beast Feast. I'm super sold on this system, it really hits the sweet spot between story gaming and crunch.

Prepping for session 0 with a group totally new to ttrpgs and can’t wait to get them started with Daggerheart from @darringtonpress.bsky.social. Daggerheart’s sessiok 0 tools are SO good I’m feeling good about getting them started. CATS, Lines and veils here we come!

I’ve been doing a little bit of prep now that it’s fully out, Daggerheart is a really cool system on the GM side of things. Hope and Fear system is very cool. Design is slick. Resource system allows for really cool abilities that make players feel cool early. Now all that’s left is scheduling…

My group played the first session of our almost-year-long #Daggerheart campaign using the release rules yesterday. The new hope class features, armor rules and optional rules round out the game nicely! Not to mention the physical cards, art, books and my LE dice! And I love the loot table!

Played #DaggerHeart last night - I am absolutely in love with this system. Everything is so simple, but so well considered. My group ended up spending like 2 hours after the session just talking about all the things it does better than our staples of D&D and PF2E.

Played a private test game of #daggerheart last night! Excited to play more and get more experienced with it! It’s a fantastic heroic fantasy game with great mechanics and narrative systems. Awesome job @darringtonpress.bsky.social & friends!! ❤️❤️

I didn't think much of rolling tokens with dice to represent modifiers like the Daggerheart book recommends but started playing with that concept and, wow, what a simple, yet helpful mechanism. I'm going to roll this way in Daggerheart and also in my D&D games. I've become a believer!

Done a bit of running Daggerheart and... guys... it's *good*. If you have a GM whose strongest area is improvisation and RP-focused players who get on well and collaborate, this could be the best ttrpg you've ever played.

Daggerheart is sold out in the Critrole shop!! 🗡️💙

#Daggerheart is completely sold out on all #CriticalRole shops. A lot of the local game shops that carry it are also out of stock or close to it from what I am hearing.

I just ran a session of Daggerheart to try it out. Friends. This is a good fucking game. Holy shit. Even if I don’t run it for you, find someone who will. It is worth your time.

Whoever worked on the pdf of the Daggerheart rules deserves a raise. Everything is linked and bookmarked beautifully and I was shocked to find that if you hover over a piece of art, it gives you alt text descriptions of the artwork. They went the extra mile to get this right #daggerheart #ttrpg #dnd

I was chatting with one of my tables I run D&D for last night and they asked me how I was liking #daggerheart which brought up some thoughts. A short thread incoming… First off, I love the hope & fear mechanic. It’s essentially having a plot dice which adds a nice layer to the storytelling. (1/7)
