Demonheart - The Vile Codex for Daggerheart

Dream Realm Storytellers (DRS), known for their immersive 5E worlds (Svilland, Bloodpunk, Corpus Collection, and Silverplate) has announced their newest project, Demonheart – The Vile Codex for Daggerheart. Demonheart is a 3-book codex with over 450 pages, a new class, 7 new domains, 66 new subclasses, a Hellish setting, a full adventure, and more for Daggerheart.

This project marks DRS’ first descent into Daggerheart, a system originally created by Critical Role. It will include the first major adventure ever written for the Daggerheart system, and embraces an edgy, unflinching plunge into a biblical Hell that is very dark and very gory. Players descend into a brutal infernal metropolis of torture, execution gardens, and endless chains, taking on the roles of the damned themselves. With subclasses inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins and a new Sin Domain mechanic, Demonheart challenges players to face demonic legions and terrifying tyrants as they ascend the ladders of damnation.

Demonheart embraces themes of corruption and damnation, pushing players toward uncomfortable, high-stakes choices. It will include unusual mechanics, like instructions for turning player characters into demons, for example. Centered on narrative play, Demonheart’s story evolves through the choices players make. Players actively shape the tone of the game by building Hope or inviting Fear, turning every roll into a meaningful story.

Highlights include:

  • Three books, each 150 pages
  • Demonheart supplement book for new mechanics
  • Demonheart setting book with descriptions of Hell and its inhabitants
  • New Daggerheart content
  • Unusual Mechanics
  • Dark Themes
  • Narrative Depth

Demonheart – The Vile Codex for Daggerheart will be launching on Kickstarter on April 21, 2026, with exclusive early backer rewards and limited-edition goodies that fans won’t want to miss.

Is Image Teasing a Daggerheart Comic Series?

Posted on by

Image Comics posted a teaser today of a D12 die with text saying more would be revealed later this week. It’s a guessing game right now as to what the series would be but a best guess would be a comic series based on the new tabletop roleplaying game Daggerheart published by Darrington Press.

The game uses two D12 dice, one Hope and one Fear to determine the outcome of actions and with a D12 die shown, it’s a good guess that’s what’s being teased. Dungeons & Dragons recently announced a move to Dark Horse for comics and Pathfinder and Starfinder comics are published by Dynamite. Neither of those use a D12.

Daggerheart launched in 2023 by lead game designer Spenser Starke and additional designers including Rowan Hall, Matthew Mercer, Alex Teplitz, and Michael Underwood spinning out of the popular tabletop roleplaying series Critical Role. Critical Role does have comics based on their adventures released by Dark Horse. The Daggerheart Core Rulebook was released on May 20, 2025.

With Justin Jordan sharing the teaser, could he be writing what should be a popular series?
