Today marks a major milestone for Darrington Press as we release Daggerheart, our original tabletop roleplaying game into the world. This system represents years of innovation and design rooted in one goal: to empower collaborative storytelling. With mechanics that prioritize character arcs, emotional stakes, and player agency, Daggerheart offers a fresh foundation for narrative-first gameplay. For our industry partners, publishers, and fellow creators: We’ve also launched the Daggerheart System Reference Document (SRD) and the Darrington Press Community Gaming License (DPCGL)... built to encourage open, sustainable third-party creation. Whether you're designing supplements, adventures, actual play shows, or your own worlds, we’re making it easy to build on and share in this ecosystem. We’re incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished and deeply excited about the creative collaborations ahead.
