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).

Fantastic Set

Beautifully illustrated rulebook, with comprehensive guides, instructions, and everything is really well done! Plus the cards are absolutely stunning!

My only complaint, and I don't think it's anything major so far, is that some of the seams of the book seem to have come very slightly loose? Again, nothing terrible, I think if I handle it gently it won't be a problem. Otherwise, amazing book, very stoked to play DH with my friends :)

FUN!

I can honestly say I haven’t been this excited for any form of game in a long time. I have yet to reach the final pages of the book, so please take that into consideration as you will.

The VaultBox for the cards, as well as the cover art on it and the book itself, are gorgeous. And surprisingly enough, the cards don’t scatter about in the box as I had originally feared.

The illustrations in the book are equally stunning, especially the mix of the colorful art with the often smaller pencil sketches, which invite your eyes to roam the page for new and even inspiring detail.

The descriptions for the rules are mostly to the point and, as far as I can tell, easy enough to pick up, be it for the GM or PC.
The pointers and tips—like the campaign frames, for example can lend you that bit of an initial spark to get started, or help complete your PC even more.
And to be able to find things relatively fast, the segmenting of the chapters via color on the side of the book pages, as well as the two bookmarks, are a particularly welcome godsend for people like me who often go back and forth between different chapters. HUGE + for that.

The Domain Cards fall under the same banner of “godsent” aid for the players, and they are pretty to boot, without feeling over-cluttered. They add that extra bit of tangibility to your PC.

CONGRATULATIONS—you reached the “last but certainly not least” part of this chaotic review.
More than anything, the frame of Daggerheart offers a great degree of freedom in how you wish to tell your adventure, and encourages this many times in the book.

I get that it is not everybody’s cup of tea, but it is certainly one from which I’m going to drink a lot.

Good quality

Like the quality of the book and the cards. Like the fact that we even get the cards bundled. The system looks promising.

Great set!

Beautiful book and cards!
I will be honest, I'd pay more for a version with the dice and the printouts, but I love what I got!

First Look

I had heard about this new game system and all that but it was not until it arrived that I could feel the heft, see the quality and start to read through it page by page and card by card that I realised how much promise it really holds. Super excited to dive in and explore!
