[darjr]

Expansion book from Darrington Press.

Todd Kenreck interviewed Mathew Mercer about the book.


New character options and monsters and environments.

The first Daggerheart expansion is arriving, nearly doubling your worldbuilding and character building toolset! Players and GMs will find its pages, cards, and accessories indispensable in their adventures and storytelling. From the new character options (like the Witch, Warlock, Brawler, and Assassin classes) to the over 130 adversaries to challenge them with, this is an expansion to be excited about.



Daggerheart: Hope & Fear comes in two stunning versions: a standard edition and a deluxe edition with a wealth of exclusive accessories and variant cover. Both editions are available for pre-order below and will ship in Summer 2026. As a special bonus for pre-orders, you’ll get early access to the PDF of the rulebook delivered two weeks before full release!

I am mostly excited about new adversaries and environments.

I'm guessing sold out for 6 months then copies start leaking in to the web store. 3-6 months after that you can find in your local store.

Not yet in the Daggerheart fold. But, based on the criticisms I've heard from others - this seems to fix their complaints - need for more "monsters" and "classes" - to use 5e terms.

Oh yeah, also wanted to mention - whether or not I end up liking Daggerheart (so far I've played 5e and variants and Cosmere TTRPG) - their art is always so amazing.

Maybe this time, people will pre-order instead of not doing so then whining about availability?

The limited number of monsters is a much bigger deal than the number of classes in the core. there are still plenty of "build opportunities" (such as they are in DH).

What are you doing on an internet forum using LOGIC and SENSE!?!?

What if it sucks? Better to wait. You ain't getting me FOMO!

I haven't even played the base game yet. Though it's in the rotation for after the new year.
