How it works:

  • Every three months, the Storytelling Collective team will announce a tabletop roleplaying game system we'll be studying that quarter

  • All participants will receive prompts, and questions to guide their reading

  • In collaboration with the StoCo team, a facilitator with expertise on that quarter's game system will host live calls and online discussions

  • Participants are part of an online community where they can ask questions and share thoughts about our current read

  • Toward the end of the quarter, participants will receive writing prompts to put their new knowledge into practice!

Current Read: DAGGERHEART

Quarter 3 (June-August 2026)

Welcome to Daggerheart, a new epic TTRPG from Darrington Press. Powered by an innovative card and Duality Dice design, Daggerheart blends tactical depth with narrative freedom, empowering each group to make the game their own.

Daggerheart is a system where GMs and players share in narrative worldbuilding, and every choice matters as the adventure hangs in the balance between hope and fear! With streamlined rules, 279 beautifully illustrated cards, easy onboarding for fast pick up and play, story-first mechanics, and more. Daggerheart is calling! This is how we play—with bold choices, unforgettable characters, and stories that last long after the dice and cards are put away. Now, it’s your turn.
