Daggerheart in two minutes.

A fantasy tabletop RPG from Darrington Press about heroes, Hope and Fear. The first system Joinery supports.

Hope and Fear.

Every check is two d12s: Hope and Fear. The total against the Difficulty says whether you succeed. The higher die sets the tone: with Hope the hero gains Hope, with Fear the GM gains Fear. Doubles are a critical success.

Your abilities are cards.

Each class opens two of ten domains; the tenth, Dread, comes from Hope & Fear. Every level the hero takes a new card: a spell, a technique or a trick.

Hero creation, the “Class and subclass” step: thirteen class cards, the “Your hero” panel with derived values on the right (interface in Ukrainian)

Thirteen classes.

Nine core classes: Bard, Druid, Guardian, Ranger, Rogue, Seraph, Sorcerer, Warrior, Wizard. Four from Hope & Fear: Assassin, Brawler, Warlock, Witch. Each has two subclasses.

The log: Fear 12 of 12, a spell wave of Chain Lightning and adversary reactions (interface in Ukrainian)

The Fear bar: 12 tokens and a Spend button (interface in Ukrainian)

The GM plays too.

Fear is the GM's currency: interrupt a turn, give adversaries extra moves, trigger their features. The more Fear, the closer trouble gets.
