Dream Realm Storytellers (DRS), known for their immersive 5E worlds (Svilland, Bloodpunk, Corpus Collection, and Silverplate), open the gates of hell with a new trilogy of Demonheart supplements compatible with DaggerheartTM. Funded on Kickstarter in six minutes, the three-book codex of evil contains over five hundred pages of material.

Demonheart – The Vile Codex for DaggerheartTM is a 3-book codex with over 500 pages, a new class, 7 new domains, 66 new subclasses, a Hellish setting, tons of goodies including a tarot deck and demon plushie. This project marks DRS’ first descent into DaggerheartTM, a system originally created by Critical Role. It will include the first major adventure ever written for the DaggerheartTM system, and embraces an edgy, unflinching plunge into a biblical Hell that is very dark, and very not-safe-for-work.

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.

“This is not a safe story,” says the DRS creative team. “It’s an exploration of a raw, bloody world. Demonheart is about finding a path forward in the darkest possible world, and asking what it costs to take that path. Beware and despair.”

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 of the project include:

* Three books totalling over 500 pages
* Demonheart supplement book for new mechanics
* Demonheart setting book with descriptions of Hell and its inhabitants
* The Infernal Bible, written in demonscript (translatable only to those clever enough)
* A Demon Plushie with a removable heart
* Enamel Pins
* Demonheart-themed Tarot Deck
* New DaggerheartTM content
* Unusual Mechanics
* Dark Themes
* Narrative Depth
* …and much more!
