Today is the beginning of Darrington Press' Daggerheart open beta playtest! https://www.daggerheart.com

And, with the release of these materials, I can now say that I have been consulting for Darrington Press as a designer on the game! It's been so hard keeping this under wraps, especially since it represents a big development in my game design career.

2022 - self-published a one-page RPG, working on the Genrenauts RPG
2023 - working on the Genrenauts RPG, short consulting job on Candela Obscura
2024 - multi-month contract as a game designer on Daggerheart

It's been an amazing experience working with the Daggerheart team, and I've had the chance to apply and refine my game design skills and delighted in how much my existing writing skills apply over to the world of ttrpgs. 

If you've been curious about Daggerheart, or if you like the story-forward kinds of ttrpgs I talk about and tend to GM, I'd strongly encourage you to take a look at these playtest documents and give the game a try.

You can get started with this video made by the Critical Role/Darrington Press team and tonight (Tuesday) there will be a live one-shot of Daggerheart at twitch.tv/criticalrole.

I'm hoping to stream today (Tuesday) or Wednesday to talk about the game and my personal tips for playing and running the game using the open beta playtest material.
