Critical Role want you to break their upcoming TTRPG, Daggerheart

By Abigail Shannon

Get your first taste of Daggerheart with its Open Beta Playtest
You'll soon be able to try Daggerheart, the D&D rival from Critical
Role, yourself.

When Darrington Press first teased Daggerheart back in April 2023, we
were majorly intrigued by its promise to deliver a rCLfresh updaterCY to fantasy RPGs. This isnrCOt meant as shade to giants like D&D, of course. Dungeons & Dragons is one of the best tabletop RPGs out there, and the Critical Role gang has been using the 5e system for years.

Still, itrCOs so exciting to see innovation in the TTRPG space. Luckily, yourCOll be able to experience this new system first-hand very soon thanks
to the upcoming launch of DaggerheartrCOs Open Beta Playtest. With the
full game due to make its debut in 2025, this period of playtesting is a valuable opportunity for players to contribute their voices to the
development process.
With this in mind, fans have been issued an unusual request via the
Critical Role blog. It says: rCLWe want anyone and everyone (over the age
of 18, please) to help us make Daggerheart as wonderful as possible,
which meansrCahelping us break the game. Seriously! The game is not
finished or polished yet, which is why itrCOs critical (ha!) to gather all
of your feedback [...]rCY.

What can playtesters expect once they dive in? Well, for a start,
theyrCOll have access to character creation tools and the playtest Nexus through the Demiplane platform, which also hosts Critical RolerCOs
previous game, Candela Obscura. TheyrCOll also receive PDF game resources
via DriveThruRPG.
Even before the playtest has begun, it's clear Daggerheart has some interesting system quirks that set it apart from most TTRPGs. For one, Daggerheart will employ a 2d12 system, with each 12-sided die
representing the opposing forces of hope and fear. Meanwhile, its
character creation system promises to be a streamlined experience that
takes cues from the likes of Index Card RPG and breaks everything down
to an easily digestible format.

Instead of players having to flick through a hefty sourcebook,
DaggerheartrCOs card system allows for a simpler way to create characters.
It also provides an opportunity to put together a wildcard character by picking elements at random.

However, once you consider DaggerheartrCOs focus on story-driven long-term play, you might be more reluctant to let fate decide what kind of hero yourCOll be. That said, the open beta is the perfect time to experiment.
So, why not be a part of DaggerheartrCOs Open Beta Playtesting when it
begins on March 12?

ThatrCOs not all though. To mark the Open Beta Playtest launch rCo and Critical RolerCOs 9th-anniversary celebrations rCo the cast will do a live-streamed Daggerheart one-shot on Tuesday, March 12 at 7pm Pacific.
This should give you some fun ideas for your future campaigns.

I'm curious.
I never really got into CR.
But I respect their talent and impact on the hobby.

Whoa a 2d12 system?
Now I'm /very/ curious!!

not really, I am not really into Critical Role's style of play. I
respect what they are doing, but they just aren't doing it for me.

They couldn't come up with a better name? If you play this you'll get
a dagger to the heart! Noun-noun doesn't really work.

Same. I'll be curious if it gets big, then I'll give it a try. Can it
be worse than 5e? A number of systems say yes.
