‘Critical Role’s ‘Daggerheart’ Gets a New Update Next Week
Critical Role‘s Darrington Press revealed today that a new version of the Daggerheart fantasy RPG is coming May 7th!
Darrington Press, Critical Role‘s publishing imprint, announced an update to the ongoing playtest of its Daggerheart fantasy role-playing game coming next week. Daggerheart has been in an open playtest period since March. In that time, the game has received both major and minor tweaks and live responses to feedback from players and GMs.
This latest update will bring substantive changes to the ruleset, a GM Reference Guide, and a brand new “Tier 1” adventure. Tier 1 is the first five or so levels in 5E, to give a rough comparison. Accompanying the update will be a livestream with designers Spenser Starke and Matt Mercer, who will take players through the changes and answer questions as they come in.
New Daggerheart Update 1.4 Next Week
The playtest continues apace. As Darrington press announced, there’s a new version coming next week:
Daggerheart 1.4 is coming! Next Tuesday, May 7, we’ll be releasing a new update to the Daggerheart playtest materials, bringing it to version 1.4. The downloadable packet will include a Change Log page with an overview of what’s new along with updated cards and materials, as well as a NEW Tier 1 Adventure (Levels 2–4), the Quickstart Adventure updated to 1.4, and a GM Reference Guide! It will be available here at Daggerheart.com, Demiplane, and DriveThruRPG.
Once again, we’ll be hosting a livestream with Spenser Starke and Matthew Mercer to discuss the changes and take your questions live! Tune in on May 7 at 2pm Pacific on Critical Role’s Twitch and YouTube, with the VOD available immediately after. Get up to speed on the 1.4 updates and bring your questions to chat to get them answered live by our fantastic duo.
And don’t worry—any feedback you have around the current material is still enormously valuable, whether for versions 1.2, 1.3, or the newest 1.4. Please keep bringing those player and GM surveys to us with your experiences. Each survey asks which version of the materials you used, so we’ll still be able to use that information to improve the game.
Thank you for the awesome work you’re doing playtesting Daggerheart and helping us improve it! We can’t WAIT to show you what’s new in Daggerheart 1.4.
See you on May 7th!
