Daggerheart: Hope & Fear offers a wealth of options for both players and GMs to expand the way they play Daggerheart.

 

GMs will find this an indispensable resource for game night thanks to 130+ new adversaries, 28 environments, and a ready-to-go rip pad of blank adversary sheets for when inspiration strikes. Plus, Four new campaign frames introduce wholly different genres, mechanics, themes, and tools to surprise and delight their players!

 

And of course, players will revel in the new items, weapon, and armor options, as well as the new player classes:

  • Witch: Magical practitioners who commune with the forces of nature and entities from realms beyond. These spellcasters call forth power through craft, combining the tangible and ephemeral by casting spells, murmuring incantations, creating talismans, weaving illusions, and other practices.
  • Warlock: Those who’ve traded their lives, or perhaps even their souls, to an otherworldly patron in exchange for incredible power are known as warlocks. Often, these mortals have reached a point of desperation that leads them to make this sacrifice—to protect themselves or a loved one, aid their community, seek vengeance, increase their status, or otherwise further their ambitions.
  • Brawler: Experts in unarmed combat, brawlers hone their bodies into lethal weapons. Whether they learned in a structured environment or picked up their skills one fight at a time, the process is always rigorous as brawlers develop their body and mind to work as one.
  • Assassin: Masters of inflicting crippling injuries with precise strikes. Unlike those who wield violence as only a means to an end, assassins approach death as a profession.

Daggerheart: Hope & Fear comes with a book (around 200 pages) and a box containing cards and a rip pad of blank adversary sheets!

Inside the book, you’ll find:

  • New character options, including 4 new classes: the Witch, Warlock, Brawler, and Assassin, each with 2 unique subclasses!
  • 130+ new adversaries and 28 environments, plus a rip pad of blank adversary sheets to help you easily create your own
  • 100+ weapons, armor, item, and consumable options
  • 4 new Campaign Frames introducing new worlds and settings for you to explore

The cards include:

  • A completely new Dread Domain, unlocking ghastly, macabre magic core to the new Witch and Warlock classes.
  • Subclass Cards for all 8 new subclasses
  • 6 Transformation Cards: A completely new mechanic, transformations represent changes or augmentations to characters in Daggerheart. During a campaign or at character creation, transform into a Vampire, Werewolf, Reanimated, Shapeshifter, Ghost, or Demigod!
  • 6 new Community Cards: Duneborne, Hearthborne, Frostborne, Warborne, Freeborne, and Reborne
  • 6 new Ancestry Cards: Skykin, Tidekin, Earthkin, Emberkin, Gnome, and Aetheris

The exquisite deluxe edition of Daggerheart: Hope & Fear (available for pre-order exclusively here and at Darrington Press Guild stores) contains a host of unique accessories and enhancements:

  • Store your rulebook and an accessories compartment in a gorgeous gold foil box with a wraparound cover featuring all-new artwork unique to this edition. The accessories compartment holds all your gorgeous cards and goodies, and clasps with a secure magnet.
  • Alternate cover artwork on the box, rulebook, and accessories compartment.
  • Track Fear and have rules references at the ready with this new GM screen and Fear tokens that slide onto the screen, visible to the GM and players. Stunning new artwork graces the player-facing side while quick reference information organizes the game master side.
  • A rip pad of character sheets, player and GM guides, maps, and more.
  • Dice, dice, and more dice!
    • The gorgeous deluxe-edition-exclusive dice include:
    • A set of 7 sharp-edged polyhedral dice
    • An oversized d20 for the GM
    • A set of 10 rhombic d12s for players to use as Hope & Fear dice
