Daggerheart Sold Out in Two Weeks, Has Three-Year Plan in Place

A recent interview with Business Insider revealed just how well Daggerheart did for Critical Role's Darrington Press when it first launched earlier this year. Ed Lopez, Critical Role's chief operating officer, revealed that Daggerheart sold out in two weeks. According to Lopez, Critical Role anticipated that their stock would last a year, but the game was forced to go into reprints in a hurry. "The amount of units that we ordered we thought was going to last us a year, and it lasted us literally two weeks," Lopez said. "It's a great problem, it's a Champagne problem, but it's now changing our view in terms of what this product can be."

Lopez also revealed that Darrington Press has a three-year plan in place for Daggerheart, which includes the already announced Hope & Fear expansion, which adds a new domain and several new classes and backgrounds to the game.

Lopez also spoke about the hires of Jeremy Crawford and Chris Perkins, stating that the two would be working on both Daggerheart and D&D material for Darrington Press. "We really want their creative juices brought to the world of 'Daggerheart.' That being said, we're also doing a bunch of 'D&D' stuff, and who better to bring in than the guys who used to do it?" Lopez said.

For me AP clearly means "All Purpose", like AP Flour ;-)

As for sales ... no one, not Pathfinder, not Daggerheart, are in DnD's league. That doesn't mean Daggerheart isn't doing shockingly well on its own terms.

Indeed I always loathe it when threads about completlly different games turn into a useless D&D sales number discussion.

This thread is Daggerheart's place to shine. And shine it indeed does when it overshoots the planning of it creators in such a spectacular way.

It also means that they probably ramp up their internal plans for further support for the game.
