The Daggerheart Open Beta Playtest is now available for all aspiring adventurers! Brought to you by the creative minds behind Critical Role, this new game promises to be an exciting addition to the world of tabletop role-playing games. Starting today, March 12, you can be among the first to explore the realms of Daggerheart by participating in its open beta.

You can now download the playtest materials directly from the official game site, daggerheart.com, or through our digital platform partners. Whether you prefer the convenience of DriveThruRPG for PDFs or the interactive features of Demiplane, which hosts an official Nexus and character creator, getting started is just a click away.

For those eager to jump right into the action, Daggerheart offers a Quickstart Adventure complete with pre-generated characters. This allows you to get a feel for the game without the need for extensive preparation. For the more detail-oriented players, the full core rulebook draft text and a comprehensive suite of cards needed for levels 1-10 across all current subclasses are available. These materials are in their beta phase, and the team at Darrington Press is eagerly awaiting your feedback to refine and enhance the game experience.

To help you get accustomed to the new system, two informative videos have been released. 'Daggerheart 101' provides a walkthrough of the game’s core mechanics, while a second video focuses on character creation, featuring Travis Willingham as he reimagines his beloved Critical Role Campaign 3 character, Bertrand Bell, in the Daggerheart system. These can be seen below.

For those who want to share their playtest experiences, streaming your sessions is highly encouraged. Please remember to adhere to the updated Darrington Press Community Gaming License, which includes Daggerheart-specific guidelines such as linking back to the official playtest site.
