The Daggerheart NEXUS is fully updated to the new Corebook!
Daggerheart is a collaborative fantasy roleplaying game of incredible magic and heroic adventure. Create a shared story with your adventuring party, and shape your world through rich, long-term campaign play. With full digital support on Daggerheart Nexus, you can build characters, manage adversaries, and explore source material seamlessly online.
Succeed or Fail with Hope or Fear
When it’s time for the game mechanics to control fate, players roll one Hope die and one Fear die (both 12-sided dice) to determine the outcome. When the Hope die is higher, you also gain Hope to power future abilities and turn the tide in your favor! If the Fear die is higher, the game master gains Fear, which they’ll use to challenge the characters and richly complicate the narrative. This duality between the forces of hope and fear in every hero drives the unique character-focused narratives in Daggerheart.
Cards Bring Your Hero to Life
In addition to dice, Daggerheart’s card system makes it easy to get started and level up your character by bringing their capabilities to your fingertips. Ancestry and Community cards illustrate backgrounds, customs, and values. Subclass and Domain cards grant your character plenty of exciting abilities and spells. Craft your unique character through the cards you choose and the story you tell.
Game Master Guide
Daggerheart offers in-depth resources for game masters of all experience levels to ensure that anyone and everyone feels comfortable leading their game. From setting expectations in a session zero, guiding players through mechanics, crafting adversaries, and creating a campaign, this rulebook has you covered with advice and full examples of play.
Now, you can play Daggerheart online and in-person with the power of Demiplane, Roll20, and DriveThruRPG.
