Daggerheart is a tabletop roleplaying game of epic and heartfelt tales of adventure, tuned uniquely by your group for maximum fun at YOUR table. A perfect companion to storytellers of all kinds, the Daggerheart Core Set contains a hardcover rulebook and a box containing a rich set of cards for character customization.
The 366 page lavishly illustrated hardcover rulebook contains:
- Guidelines for creating characters and shared worlds, for building adventures, and for crafting encounters and campaigns as a game master.
- Dynamic adversaries and environments to challenge your characters.
- Detailed advice on GM craft, player best practices, campaign building, and more.
The box of 279 beautifully-illustrated cards securely clasps with a magnet, including:
- 18 Ancestry Cards—Characters in Daggerheart may come in all shapes and sizes, from the turtle-like galapa to the pointed-eared elves.
- 2 sets of 9 Community Cards—The culture you came from has shaped your character, providing unique Features for them to use, like the silent step of the forest-dwelling Wildborne or the far-flung knowledge of the Loreborne.
- 54 Subclass Cards—Step into shadows as a Nightwalker Rogue, or find a friend in every high (and low) place with the Syndicate Rogue! Harness a legendary gods-given weapon as a Divine Wielder Seraph, or take to the skies as a Winged Sentinel Seraph.
- Each of the 18 Subclasses comes with a Foundation, Specialization, and Mastery card to grow alongside you as you grow in power.
- 189 Domain Cards—Each class combines two domains, evocative suites of abilities you’ll increase access to as your character grows in power. Bards wield Grace (the domain of charisma) and Codex (the domain of intensive magical study), while Wizards wield Codex and Splendor (the domain of life and power over death).

Customer Reviews
I love these rules. They are much more fluid than other options, putting a high emphasis on collaborative story telling without getting bogged down with tables and charts.
Core set - well packaged, cards are beautiful and make a nice addition to play. I wish they used the ORC license instead of more proprietary BS. Haven’t decided if I want to make content with Daggerheard.
When things started to tip sideways in the RPG kingdom, I got worried. Not because I’m a creator, but I just watched so many unforced errors repeat. I watched the wave rise of independent Heirs to the Throne, and I thought, No. I’ll wait to see what Critrole does. I didn’t understand the beta playtest well, but watching Age of Umbra sold me. I’ve started introducing some homebrew mechanics into my 5e games to get my 3 separate tables I run once a month each, ready for the full conversion to Daggerheart, and even just that slight intro has improved combat and my games for sure! So glad I bought it from you guys because having the digital .pdf to distribute to my players has been phenomenal.
Still waiting on the sale of the stand alone GM screen, or at least the GM screen as a purchasable .pdf so I can make my own.
About the physical product I received. I will admit to being a bit of a binding and book snob, so while I hoped for Smythe sewn pages and embossed hardcovers, like you see put out regularly from Lost Art Press, I was unsurprised, and maybe a little comforted, to find the cheep binding of probably Chinese factories. Still this is in the tradition and matches almost all of my other RPG books, which makes symmetry and that can also be good.
The art, oh my god the artwork in this work is next level. Out of the park and maybe out of the solar system. The cards are beautiful.
And props to you guys for citing your sources and inspirations. Love that happening for once!
Overall I'm super happy with the product. Can’t wait to convert my tables. Happy to see things like Age of Umbra to help set a baseline for running the system in my head.
Thanks a bunch. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

This set gives you everything you could want when it comes to Daggerheart. I love the artwork and how easy the book makes it to start playing.
The cards are really well done and the rule book rules section describes play very well. What ever I didn’t fully get the videos that Matt did were super helpful. I have yet to start a campaign from one of the given frames but I am just as excited to write, play and dm a session of Daggerheart
