Darrington Press, the publishing arm behind the popular Critical Role series, has just unveiled the cover for their upcoming tabletop role-playing game, Daggerheart. This exciting new TTRPG, which everyone’s eagerly waiting for, is slated for a Spring 2025 release. Daggerheart brilliantly captures the camaraderie and adventure dynamics that fans of Critical Role have come to love, weaving them into a narrative-driven, d12-based system.
The cover reveal occurred at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia, a must-visit convention for tabletop gaming enthusiasts. The Daggerheart Core Set, which includes a core rulebook and a special box for card decks, introduces a tactile aspect to character creation. The cover art by Mat Wilma immerses players in a captivating nighttime scene featuring a mystical stag. Inside, the book cover presents an array of original characters and creatures depicted in a grand fantasy style. These artistic elements aim to highlight the game’s distinctive world and emphasize its player-centric storytelling approach, a hallmark of what’s available in the public beta playtest. Earlier versions of the game got a mix of reactions, but more recent updates have garnered significant praise.
Additionally, a limited edition Daggerheart box set was showcased alongside the standard edition. This exclusive set comes in a wrap-around box, featuring a variant cover core rulebook and a slide-out drawer to hold the game’s card decks, a set of dice, and a Game Master screen adorned with matching art by Dominik Mayer.
