What is Daggerheart?

A TTRPG created by Darrington Press. Powered by an innovative card and Duality Dice design, Daggerheart blends tactical depth with narrative freedom, empowering each group to make the game their own.

Daggerheart is a system where GMs and players share in narrative worldbuilding, and every choice matters as the adventure hangs in the balance between hope and fear!

What is the Hell in Demonheart?

The Hell we are depicting is not bound to a single setting or universe. It is infinite, even within its seemingly finite roads, valleys, and landscapes. You can include any story and mythology to this place, eventhough we are going to explore the main narrative that revolves around the Sinlords. Even they can be depicted differently.

What is the content warning for Demonheart?

Demonheart is the codex of evil, although we do not endorse the acts of evil, this book delves into the darker side of the stories. This demo booklet contains mature and potentially disturbing themes intended for adult audiences. Within its pages, readers may encounter references to depictions of physical violence and revenge, narratives shaped by trauma, despair, and psychological distress as well as sexual abuse. The work explores religious themes and reinterpretations that may be considered blasphemous, alongside portrayals of Hell, damnation, and infernal hierarchies. It also includes elements of body horror, transformation, and the loss of identity or autonomy, as well as mechanics and narratives involving moral corruption, coercion, manipulation, and the abuse of power.

Some sections feature suggestive or sexual themes, including desire, temptation, and arousal as part of the broader Hellscape. There are also references to self-harm, ritual sacrifice, and existential or nihilistic ideas concerning the nature of the self, suffering, and purpose. Characters within this work may be subjected to or participate in systems of domination, control, and exploitation.

These themes are presented as part of a dark fantasy setting and are not intended to endorse or trivialize real-world harm. Reader discretion is advised.

Are you launching with VTT support?

We want to convert the books to VTT, but the current license of Daggerheart won’t let us. We have been trying to get in touch with Darrington Press regarding this but failed to do so.

We will continue to reach out to Darrington Press about this potential opportunity!

Will this be friendly to new GMs and players?

There will be five books that we offer: supplement, setting, adventure, art book, and the infernal bible. The supplement book will build upon the fundamentals that Daggerheart offers, so it will be as friendly as Daggerheart. The adventure will include mechanics but the main focus will be on the story and it will be easily convertable to any system or no system, so it will be friendly. The other books are for everyone, not just Daggerheart fans, consisting mainly of narratives and art, instead mechanics. However, the narrative itself is the opposite of friendly and we advise to check the disclaimer first and speak with your players about it.

Why do we use crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is based on live communication between the creator and the recipient of the final product. This allows us to create the best product possible, as we can dynamically alter and improve upon it based on feedback from the community.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
