At the\u00a0Daggerheart<\/em> Next panel at Gen Con 2026, Darrington Press laid out a three year roadmap for their fantasy tabletop RPG, and for fans of this system, it\u2019s packed with new game content. In addition to current product announcements, including Daggerheart\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0Hope and Fear<\/em> expansion (on sale now at Gen Con, and available August 25 at retailers), the future of Daggerheart<\/em> looks bright with two major tentpole releases per year, a commitment to both free and paid digital products, and even content from other companies supporting the game. Here\u2019s what fans have to look forward to in Daggerheart<\/em>.<\/p>\n There are three more physical Daggerheart<\/em> products still due out this year: a GM screen full of artwork and at-your-fingertips references, a Fear tracker so your players can see exactly how bad things are getting at any given moment, and an Adversary Deck full of enemy stat blocks so that GMs can play with cards, too. The Fear tracker is especially interesting; it\u2019s definitely a tension-maker as seen on Critical Role\u2019s\u00a0Age of Umbra<\/em> series, and it\u2019s valuable information for players to have at the ready. That\u2019s on top of the Hope and Fear<\/em> expansion and the Class Packs that launched this year. Daggerheart<\/em> is also being translated to a multitude of new languages, including Simplified Chinese, Hungarian, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, German, and Spanish, though no word yet on when those will be released.<\/p>\n On the digital front, Daggerheart<\/em> announced expansion to new virtual tabletops: while it\u2019s been on Demiplane from the beginning (and is getting Hope & Fear<\/em> support in August), Foundry VTT is also joining as an official digital partner for\u00a0Daggerheart<\/em>, and Alchemy VTT is getting\u00a0Hope & Fear<\/em> support as well. We also finally have a release date for the With Love and Magic<\/em> romantasy campaign frame (teased last Gen Con), which is due out this fall as a standalone digital-only product. In addition to paid content, there will also be a free Digital Adventure Pipeline starting in August on Daggerheart\u2019s<\/em> website, which we\u2019re guessing will along the lines of The Wish Thief one-shot adventure the team released with the game\u2019s first anniversary. One of these upcoming adventures will be based around Darrington\u2019s game A Familiar Find, in which you play a familiar rather than the typical hero \u2014 the Daggerheart<\/em> adventure version was described as \u201cCarmen Sandiego<\/em> played by the cast of Homeward Bound<\/em> and Carmen is a witch.\u201d<\/p>\n But what about those two books per year that Darrington Press promised us? So far we\u2019ve seen two Daggerheart<\/em> rulebooks, but in the future we can expect setting books, campaign books, adventure books, and more. Rowan Hall is working on Daggerheart\u2019s<\/em> first official setting book, which will take us to \u201ca place that embraces all the wonder, hope, and danger of Daggerheart<\/em>.\u201d Spenser Starke also says it\u2019s in a world we might recognize, but only offered these hints to which world that might be: \u201canything can be a kaiju if you squint and we\u2019re spellchecking archipelago at least 20 times a day.\u201d There\u2019s no release date for this (or any other) book, but if the team is serious about getting out two major books a year, we\u2019re likely to see it in 2027.<\/p>\n Jeremy Crawford is working on another new setting book, described as \u201cdevilishly spooky,\u201d which will include content currently in playtesting (and some things we\u2019re already seeing in Critical Role\u2019s<\/em> Age of Umbra: Shallowlands game). Plus there will be an anthology of adventures helmed by Chris Perkins, with hints that the tone and content will be all over the map, though no specific details were given about the adventures.<\/p>\n Coming soon, Role & Play Press is bringing out a Daggerheart<\/em> version of its One-Shot Wonders series: One-Shot Wonders: Daggerheart<\/em> will bring 100 new adventures based across all of the campaign frames in both the Core Set and Hope & Fear<\/em>! The book launches on Kickstarter this fall and you can download a preview PDF now if you follow the campaign. Coming not so soon, there are also Daggerheart<\/em> plushies coming from YouTooz, although we don\u2019t have a release date for those; the most important, of course, being Jennifer English\u2019s Age of Umbra<\/em>\u00a0adorably derpy bat animal companion, Badger.<\/p>\n And for those making their own Daggerheart<\/em> content or playing using the system reference document, the Daggerheart\u00a0<\/em>SRD is also getting two major additions soon: first, Hope & Fear<\/em> will be coming to the SRD. (It makes sense: this book is essentially an expansion of the Core Set featuring stuff that didn\u2019t necessarily fit into the Core Set, so it\u2019s perfect to add to the SRD.) Secondly, special mechanics from the campaign frames are coming to the SRD; like the Ikonis weapon crafting system from the Motherboard frame or the Colossus mechanics from Colossus of the Drylands. This means those elements will be able to be picked up and brewed for other content, as well!<\/p>\n There\u2019s a lot coming to Daggerheart<\/em>, and these sparse details may only be the tip of the iceberg. We\u2019ll let you know when we know more about any of these upcoming projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At the\u00a0Daggerheart Next panel at Gen Con 2026, Darrington Press laid out a three year roadmap for their fantasy tabletop RPG, and for fans of this system, it\u2019s packed with new game content.
