Kickstarter Launching This September

Darrington Press is crowdfunding a much-requested play accessory: Class Packs for Daggerheart. Thanks to multiple sold out runs since launch, Darrington Press has pulled forward their work on this new way to play to meet the interest and demand of their expanding players. 

Each Class Pack contains 76 cards and includes everything a player needs to run a class from level 1 through level 10. This includes ancestry cards, community cards, subclass cards, all the cards from the two domains each unique class uses. Kickstarter backers will also receive a full digital PDF of the Daggerheart Core Rulebook. All nine classes from the Daggerheart Core Set will be available as Class Packs to crowdfund September.

New Campaign Frame: With Love and Magic

Coming in 2026, With Love and Magic is a romantasy-inspired campaign frame built drawing direct inspiration from the in-world romance saga Tusk Love. Enemies and admirers alike are your rivals as you set out to take on this year’s matchmaking season in the shining empire of Lumisara, the City of Crowns. 

Upcoming Actual Play Collaborations

Several new partnerships showcasing the Daggerheart system with other stand-out actual play creators were revealed:

These additions expand the growing roster of creators exploring Daggerheart in live-play formats, following ongoing support from Critical Role, which also announced Season 2 of Age of Umbra is on its way. 

Homebrew Kit Now Available

Available now as a free download at Daggerheart.com, the Daggerheart Homebrew Kit offers a robust set of resources and insights for creating new classes, ancestries, campaign frames, and more. Designed for both gaming groups and third-party publishers, the homebrew kit is aimed to help players looking to customize their campaigns as well as third party publishers diving into making Daggerheart-compatible content using the Darrington Press Community Gaming License.

New Licensing Partnerships

Darrington Press also announced new licensed products from several partners:

Also in development is a brand-new world for Daggerheart from Twogether Studio’s Keith Baker and Jenn Ellis. Known for iconic RPGs and storytelling games including Eberron, Phoenix: Dawn Command, Illimat, and The Adventure Zone Storytelling Game, the duo is bringing their next major creation to life with Daggerheart featuring thrilling worldbuilding and brilliant new player option designs.
