Critical Role’s new Daggerheart characters are charming frog, turtle, and insect people
13.03.2024 - 15:23 / polygon.com / Matt Mercer
The cast of Critical Role marks its ninth anniversary this week, and to celebrate they’ve launched the beta version of Daggerheart, a wholly new role-playing game to be published by their Darrington Press imprint. It’s a Dungeons & Dragons competitor that has been in development for a few years now and the beta version is massive, with a draft manuscript alone clocking in at nearly 380 pages. Thankfully, the eight-person cast is here to make it a whole lot simpler — and more fun — with a raucous session of character generation.
Lead by game master Matt Mercer, all seven of the core members of Critical Role showed up last night for a Daggerheart session zero — that is, the character generation and table-setting that proceeds the opening round of play. That gave them the opportunity to show off some of the things in this new game that make it so unique. They even mixed things up a bit by taking on classes and ancestries that go against their usual type.

Here’s where they landed on the first go-around:
After character generation, the gang dove right into the one-shot itself, which you can currently find behind the paywall on their Twitch channel. The Daggerheart playtest continues for some time, with access available on the Darrington Press website and on DriveThruRPG. Fans encouraged to roll up their own characters, play a few sessions, and submit feedback that will be considered in the final product — due out in 2025.
Prices taken at time of publishing.

Days Gone devs are getting back in the saddle and hiring someone with live service experience
Days Gone is that zombie x motorbike open world game (except they were at pains to point out that Freakers weren't zombies) that Sony did for PS4 in 2019, and ported to PC in 2021 - both years after people were done with Sons Of Anarchy as a thing. As alluded to in The Maw this week, there hasn't been much news out of Bend Studios since then, but they're now hiring for a lead project manager for "crafting our next high-profile AAA title." Another clue? The successful applicant must have experience "with an emphasis on live operations" and "in leadership roles shipping AAA live service games". Hmmm.
