Daggerheart RPG: Core Set

Welcome to Daggerheart, a new epic TTRPG from Darrington Press. Powered by an innovative card and Duality Dice design, Daggerheart blends tactical depth with narrative freedom, empowering each group to make the game their own.

Daggerheart is a system where GMs and players share in narrative worldbuilding, and every choice matters as the adventure hangs in the balance between hope and fear! 

This is how we play—with bold choices, unforgettable characters, and stories that last long after the dice and cards are put away. Now, it’s your turn.

WHAT STORIES AWAIT YOU?

Daggerheart is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game of brave heroics and vibrant worlds collaboratively built with your gaming group. The ebbs and flows of Hope and Fear shape the story, while the card system brings your characters’ backgrounds and capabilities to life with dynamic illustrations. With a focus on narrative and character-driven stories, Daggerheart encourages every player to be a storyteller.

A perfect companion to storytellers of all kinds, the Daggerheart Core Set contains a hardcover rulebook and a box containing a rich set of cards for character customization.

The 366-page, lavishly illustrated hardcover rulebook contains:

• Guidelines for creating characters and shared worlds, for building adventures, and for crafting encounters and campaigns as a game master.
• Dynamic adversaries and environments to challenge your characters.
• Detailed advice on GM craft, player best practices, campaign building, and more.

The box of 279 beautifully-illustrated cards securely clasps with a magnet, including:

• 18 Ancestry Cards—Characters in Daggerheart may come in all shapes and sizes, from the turtle-like galapa to the pointed-eared elves.
• 2 sets of 9 Community Cards—The culture you came from has shaped your character, providing unique Features for them to use, like the silent step of the forest-dwelling Wildborne or the far-flung knowledge of the Loreborne.
• 54 Subclass Cards—Step into shadows as a Nightwalker Rogue, or find a friend in every high (and low) place with the Syndicate Rogue! Harness a legendary gods-given weapon as a Divine Wielder Seraph, or take to the skies as a Winged Sentinel Seraph.
• Each of the 18 Subclasses comes with a Foundation, Specialisation, and Mastery card to grow alongside you as you grow in power.
• 189 Domain Cards—Each class combines two domains, evocative suites of abilities you’ll increase access to as your character grows in power. Bards wield Grace (the domain of charisma) and Codex (the domain of intensive magical study), while Wizards wield Codex and Splendor (the domain of life and power over death).
