**Daggerheart First Impressions + The One Mechanic I’m Stealing for D&D!**
This weekend I got the chance to play the brand-new **Daggerheart TTRPG** system from @DarringtonPress during a launch event at @PrismGamesChicago and I have thoughts! In this video, I’m giving you my *first impressions* of the Daggerheart system from the player-side, breaking down what makes it unique, and telling you the one mechanic I’m absolutely stealing to use in my homebrew Dungeons & Dragons campaigns.
Spoiler: It involves dramatic death saves, Hope vs. Fear dice, and some narrative flavor your table will LOVE!
Whether you’re a D&D 5e GM looking for cool mechanics to import, or a TTRPG nerd curious about what Daggerheart brings to the table, you’re in the right place.
Don’t forget to check out some 5 Room Dungeons while you’re trying this mechanic out! @Knigobi and @Mystic-Arts-DM put so much love into putting this event together! :: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfOyJFzgWDRoIg7sFdZMl_RA83KNiN0ln
