Is Daggerheart the next big TTRPG?

In this episode, we break down Darrington Press’ new tabletop RPG, Daggerheart, exploring how it plays, how it feels, and what makes it stand out from D&D and other systems. We cover dice mechanics, Hope & Fear, Experiences, and what this system means for players and DMs alike. Whether you’re a Critical Role fan, a D&D veteran, or just curious about the next evolution in storytelling RPGs, this review gives you everything you need to know. ____________________________ TIME STAMPS 00:00 - Intro 00:22 - Overview 01:32 - Rolling Dice 02:34 - Outcomes 03:23 - Hope & Fear 04:13 - Experiences Replace Skills 05:20 - Stress, Hp & Armour 06:28 - Advantage & Disadvantage 07:11 - Classes & Powers 09:40 - Balance of Power 10:33 - For the DM 11:20 - Initiative & Flow 14:01 - A Focus on Fear 15:21 - Lingering Questions 18:52 - Thoughts on Domains & Classes 21:52 - Daggerheart Birds Eye View 23:18 - Final Thoughts ____________________________ Dungeons of Drakkenheim: Daggerheart is launching on Kickstarter on Nov 4, 2025.
