If you play TTRPGs and love yourself some werewolves<\/a> or vampires<\/a> (or, y\u2019know,\u00a0both), Critical Role\u2019s Darrington Press<\/a> has something just for you with the first-ever Daggerheart expansion.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend at PAX Unplugged, Darrington announced Hope & Fear<\/a>. The add-on will include new character creator options, a Dread domain for macabre magic for Warlock and Witch classes, and a pair of brand new classes: Brawler and Assassin, who each gives players two subclasses to pick. Players will also get new transformation cards that provide new heritages\u2014along with Vampire and Werewolf, there\u2019s also Shapeshifter, Ghost, Demigod, and Reanimated\u2014and additional communities and ancestries like Frostborne or elemental-touched people.<\/p>\n

For the Daggerheart\u00a0game masters,\u00a0Hope & Fear\u00a0has four new campaign suggestions to offer that each have their own custom mechanics and themes, and there\u2019s over 130 adversaries to use against your players. You can get an idea of what the expansion has to offer in the live video of the Unplugged panel down below.<\/p>\n

When Daggerheart: Hope & Fear\u00a0launches next year, it\u2019ll be with a $40 standard edition and a $120 deluxe edition. The former includes the cards and a blank pad to make adversaries with the 200-page book, and the deluxe throws in a full polyhedral dice set, a GM screen, tokens, and a gold foil box. Deluxe owners also get an early access PDF of the rulebook two weeks in advance.<\/p>\n
