Daggerheart: Hope & Fear Expansion Review

Critical Role’s TTRPG system, Daggerheart, puts a greater emphasis on story-telling than some of its peers. A year after the core book was released, Daggerheart offered players and Game Masters new options for telling their stories.with the system’s first expansion. As someone who plays a variety of role-playing games on both sides of the GM screen, I’m always hungry for more options. More gear for my heroes to use and more vicious monsters to sic on my unsuspecting players. Daggerheart: Hope and Fear adds a plethora of toys to the toybox, but if you weren’t a fan of the core book, don’t expect this expansion to change your mind. Before diving into what’s new, for those unfamiliar, Daggerheart is a narrative-focused tabletop RPG system. It uses a rather handy card-based approach to help create and manage your characters and does away with the traditional initiative mechanic during combat. One of the most defining mechanics of Daggerheart, however, is its Hope and Fear dice.
