Every Great Adventure Begins with Hope... and Fear.

Some stories are told. Others are lived.

The Daggerheart: Hope & Fear Deluxe Edition invites you to gather your favorite people, roll the dice, and create unforgettable adventures together. Beautifully crafted by Darrington Press, the publishing studio behind Critical Role, this premium collector's edition expands the Daggerheart RPG with new gameplay content and deluxe components designed to inspire your next campaign.

Whether you're celebrating a hard-earned victory, making impossible choices, or laughing through spectacular failures, Daggerheart keeps the focus where it belongs—on the stories you'll tell together long after the session ends.

From elegant deluxe storage to beautifully illustrated cards, dice, and accessories, every detail is designed to make opening the box feel like the beginning of a new adventure.

A very limited production of this Deluxe Edition is available.
