Demonheart - The Vile Codex for Daggerheart Production Updates!

Hellions! We've got production updates for you! 

  • We have reached out to a sound designer and are discussing creating a reading companion ambiance for the Infernal Bible! 
  • We are currently copy editing what we have in the way of writing. Once we have the first revisions, writing will continue!
  • The illustrations are complete!
  • We will be creating a Foundry VTT version of Demonheart for Daggerheart - and you'll get access for free! Stay tuned.

Our EU logistics partner is working on finding representatives for each EU country. So, the new regulations will not hinder our ability to complete the fulfillment of this project. We'll keep you up-to-date as we continue working on production!

Demonheart for 5e!

ICYMI: We love this setting so much that we decided to adapt Demonheart for 5e so others can bring its dark and hellish landscape to the table with a system they already know and love. As backers for the Daggerheart version, you'll get some benefits, including even more art. 

Since this is the same setting, we'll be creating even more illustrations to go along with both projects. The campaigns will also share the same stretch goals, so you aren't missing out on anything. 

3-Months Free of Patreon Access!

If you follow Demonheart for 5e, you'll get 3 months of free access to our Patreon. In the Patreon, you'll find exclusive access to Demonheart's progress as well as all of the other campaigns the DRS team has put together.

Here is how you can find it:

Hell has officially closed its gates... or did it?.

First of all, thank you all for making Demonheart such a success. Your support, feedback, excitement, and belief in this project have helped bring Hell to life, and we couldn't be more grateful.

A special thank you also goes to the Daggerheart community. From the very beginning, you've welcomed us with incredible enthusiasm, thoughtful feedback, and genuine excitement. Whether you backed the project, shared it with friends, discussed it online, or simply took the time to read through our work, you've helped make Demonheart what it is today.

As longtime creators in the tabletop industry, stepping into a new system is always both exciting and fun. Your encouragement has made us feel right at home, and we're honored to contribute to the growing world of third-party Daggerheart content. We truly believe this is only the beginning, both for Demonheart and for the amazing community forming around this game.

If you missed the Kickstarter campaign or want to get some more of that delicious Hell, don't worry! Late Pledges are now available, so you can still secure your rewards and join us on this journey into Hell.

What's Happening Next?

Our immediate focus is preparing the Pledge Manager. Over the coming days, we'll be working on behind the scenes stuff, including:

Setting up the Pledge Manager.
Preparing and testing the backer surveys.
Organizing add-ons and pledge selections.

Once everything is ready, we'll send another update explaining the details.

Work on Demonheart hasn't slowed down. Our writers, artists, editors, and designers are continuing development to ensure the books live up to everything we promised, and more.

Thank you once again for believing in this project and for making Demonheart possible. We can't wait to continue this journey with you, and we're excited to share everything that's still to come.

See you in Hell!

-DRS Team
