Show Notes

Ever wonder what would happen if D&D and a therapy session had a magical woodland baby? Welcome to character creation in Daggerheart.

Show Notes

In this episode, the RPGBOT crew rolls up their sleeves and jumps into the nine-step character creation process for Daggerheart, the new tabletop RPG from Darrington Press. They walk through each step with equal parts clarity and chaos, covering class selection, ancestry, traits, and all the crunchy bits that make your character unique. With plenty of laughs, in-character riffing, and mechanical breakdowns, this episode offers both a how-to guide and a preview of the joy of storytelling in Daggerheart. By the end, the hosts have fully built their heroes—and maybe a few existential crises.
