Breaking Daggerheart News From Gen Con!

Daggerheart launched to sold-out success earlier this year, but the true adventure is just beginning—at Gen Con today, we announced an avalanche of new Daggerheart goodness from us and partners coming later this year and beyond!

You can watch the panel on the Darrington Press YouTube channel, or read below for a rundown of some of the highlights! 

  • Daggerheart Class Packs (coming to Kickstarter this September): Daggerheart has been selling out as fast as we can restock it, so to keep up with demand and offer another way to play, we’re exploring a play accessory we hope you’ll really love: Class Packs for Daggerheart. These packs of 76 cards will hold everything an individual player needs to play their class—from level 1 all the way to level 10—ancestry cards, community cards, subclass cards, and all the cards from the two domains each unique class uses. The Class Packs will come with a PDF excerpt with just what you need to build and learn to run your character, but Kickstarter backers will also get the full digital PDF of the Core Rulebook as a perk! All 9 classes from the Daggerheart Core Set will be available as Class Packs come September—sign up to be notified when it goes live!
  • Homebrew Kit (available for free now on the Daggerheart website!): We’re thrilled to answer your requests for homebrew/design guidance with the Homebrew Kit, which unlocks a wealth of design insights and resources to make it easier to create classes, ancestries, communities, adventures, campaign frames, and more for Daggerheart. This kit will help gaming groups looking to customize their campaigns as well as third party publishers diving into making Daggerheart-compatible content using the Darrington Press Community Gaming License. 
  • Romantasy Campaign Frame (coming 2026): Get your roses ready as we have a new campaign frame and it is all romantasy! With Love and Magic sets your game in a world of power and prospect deeply inspired by Tusk Love. Enemies and admirers alike are your rivals as you set out to take on this year’s matchmaking season in the shining empire of Lumisara, the city of Crowns.
  • Chris Perkins & Jeremy Crawford Designing for Daggerheart: These two acclaimed designers joined Darrington Press in June of this year, and their next projects will be for Daggerheart! Jeremy Crawford will take point on a full setting for Daggerheart inside a hellishly terrifying genre, while Chris Perkins will weave tales spanning campaign frames to a wider interconnected adventure supplement—stay tuned for more on the horizon!

  • Age of Umbra Gets Season 2: Speaking of the spooky, new, and fearful, Age of Umbra will return for a season 2! Critical Role’s dark fantasy survival miniseries will continue on. If you missed this deadly season 1, you can watch it all now as it just wrapped last week! 

Now moving on from everything we are doing, here is a look at some of the amazing partnerships coming for Daggerheart! 

Actual Plays: We are so honored to be working with so many actual plays coming out with seasons soon. We’ve announced a mini-series by Legends of Avantris and a one-shot by Dungeons and Daddies! This follows the recent announcement that Bonus Action is partnering with Darrington Press and bringing Daggerheart as the new system of their third volume.

Products: We also announced some awesome new creations from our partners, including:

    • Hero Forge: Daggerheart ancestries as buildable options in the Miniatures Creator

New Daggerheart World by Creators of Eberron and More: Finally, we have Keith Baker and Jenn Ellis’s new world in Daggerheart! From the minds of fan-favorite RPG worlds like Eberron and innovative tabletop games like Phoenix Dawn Command, Illimat, and the Adventure Zone Storytelling Game, Twogether Studio’s Keith Baker and Jenn Ellis are partnering with us  to make their next grand world using Daggerheart. Expect thrilling worldbuilding and brilliant new player option designs from this powerhouse team.
