I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

[Reynard]

I agree on this.

I got interested in Daggerheart for the most "shallow" of reasons after all: Playable Faun as a core ancestry, with good art for it.

They hooked me with the 'look' of the beta cards. They have halfway reeled me in with the beta rules. What I see in the final rules will determine if they make a catch or not.

It was the fairies and goblins that did it for me.

See, I like Daggerheart IN SPITE of those creative choices.

I’m really suprised they aren’t hyping this at all. Matt’s doing pathfinder while Sam is running a mini exandria campaign and they were at conventions recently.
Is there a discord channel? YouTube basically nothing which just seems odd

Daggerheart unofficial discord: Join the Daggerheart Discord Server!

There's also a Darrington Press discord that has some conversation, the 'Breacon' discord that has a Daggerheart channel (subscribers only), and a reddit: Reddit - The heart of the internet

the frog people who can use their tongue as a bludgeoning weapon did it for me. That's when I knew i was gonna like most of their design choices. All the playable ancestries are pretty cool.

We know they have a Daggerheart mini-series coming. Matt leaked it early. We just don't know when. I assume they are going to try and time it around the release next month.

I do wish there was MORE though. Get the DND youtubers advance copies so they can make preview videos like DND 2024 did.

They may but have embargoes. Release is still over a month away.

The "frog person who's afraid of water" as a pre-made character was the best part of that entire sample adventure.

Daggerheart Age of Umbra miniseries starts on May 29 from what I’ve heard. So nine days after the pre-order release and five days before the official street date.

Promos are starting to drop. Here's a look at some of the Adversaries:

(from Exclusive: DnD rival Daggerheart features some nightmarish high-tier adversaries)

Folks have pointed out that there's a lot of neat design tricks for these higher-level monsters, like the Demon of Hubris having Double or Nothing, allowing a PC to reroll their Fear die. Not only does it give some stakes to the reroll, but if it successful, chances are the PC will Succeed with Fear, giving the GM a Fear token to allow the monsters to act or use special abilities.

Thanks for the heads up.

I like those designs a lot.
