Daggerheart Launch Week Schedule!
Written by Nicole on May 19, 2025
Daggerheart Launch Week Is Finally Here!
After years of development, our very own fantasy tabletop roleplaying game is finished and ready to be played by your adventuring party in the endless worlds you create.
We couldn’t have made Daggerheart without YOU and all the incredible people who participated in our Open Beta Playtest. Your feedback, enthusiasm, and support throughout the development process have shaped Daggerheart into something truly special.
This launch is all about honoring the community that made this game possible while giving you everything you need to dive headfirst into this new role-playing adventure!
If you enjoy the festivities, grab your own copy of Daggerheart through our Critical Role Shops, a friendly local game store, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other bookstores!
Without further ado, here is our jam packed schedule for this week’s Daggerheart extravaganza!
