Daggerheart Core Set (2025)

Daggerheart is a heroic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game designed for narrative-driven play. Punctuated by fast-paced and dynamic combat, the system’s collaborative tools encourage everyone at the table to be a storyteller.

When it’s time for the game mechanics to control fate, players roll one Hope die and one Fear die (both 12-sided dice) to determine the outcome. When the Hope die is higher, you also gain Hope to power future abilities and turn the tide in your favor! If the Fear die is higher, the game master gains Fear, which they’ll use to challenge the characters and richly complicate the narrative. Every choice matters as the adventure hangs in the balance between hope and fear!

In addition to dice, Daggerheart’s card system makes it easy to get started and level up your character by bringing their capabilities to your fingertips. Ancestry and Community cards describe the way your character’s physicality and culture shape their identity. Meanwhile, subclass and Domain cards grant your character plenty of exciting abilities and spells. Craft your unique character through the cards you choose and the story you tell.

With streamlined rules, 279 beautifully illustrated cards, easy onboarding for fast pick up and play, story-first mechanics, and more, Daggerheart is calling!
