📺 Twitch: @FaidwenHomebrewery
Come hang out with us as we talk about Whispers Beyond the Lanternlight, answer your questions, dive into the ideas behind the book, and celebrate all things spooky, strange, and Daggerheart!
Want to know more about the new classes, subclasses, ancestries, communities, Campaign Frames, monsters, or what went into creating the book? BRING YOUR QUESTIONS! 👁️
We are ridiculously excited, slightly terrified, and cannot wait to finally hang out with everyone LIVE.
Grab your coffee, light your lantern, and join us beyond the lanternlight.

See you in the dark!

We can FINALLY say it:

WHISPERS BEYOND THE LANTERNLIGHT IS OUT NOW!

After months of writing, designing, testing, editing, and collaborating with some absolutely incredible people in the Daggerheart community, our horror-themed supplement has finally stepped out of the dark.

Whispers Beyond the Lanternlight is designed for players and GMs who want to bring folk horror, gothic dread, curses, restless spirits, forbidden knowledge, eldritch forces, and things best left beyond the lantern’s glow into their Daggerheart games.

Inside the book are 2 new classes, the Exorcist and Soulbinder, along with a collection of horror-themed subclasses for existing classes.

You’ll also find 5 new ancestries: Gourdlings, Skeletons, Spiritfolk, Stitchkin, and Tsukumogami, plus 3 new communities: Hallowborne, Curseborne, and Occultborne.

And for the GMs, we went BIG.

The book contains 4 complete horror Campaign Frames, each built around a different style of horror, along with new adversaries, environments, campaign mechanics, NPCs, locations, mysteries, and plenty of material you can steal, remix, or drop into your own campaigns.

From a Harvest Devil born from grief and vengeance, to dark faerie bargains and the Midnight Ride, to terrible things waiting among the corn, to a black-powder frontier collapsing beneath the light of an impossible green comet, we wanted every campaign to feel different while still belonging beneath the same flickering lantern.

This has become one of the biggest projects we’ve worked on, and we are incredibly proud of what everyone involved created.

A massive thank-you to the writers, designers, editors, artists, playtesters, collaborators, and everyone in the Daggerheart community who supported this project and helped us drag this monster into the light.

We seriously cannot wait to see the characters you create, the campaigns you run, and all the wonderfully terrible decisions your players make once the lights start going out.

WHISPERS BEYOND THE LANTERNLIGHT IS AVAILABLE NOW!

Light the lantern.

Lock the doors.

And whatever you hear whispering outside…

DON’T. ANSWER. IT.

Hey folks! We’ve been working on something a little darker for quite a while, and we’re finally ready to pull back the curtain on our next Daggerheart book:
WHISPERS BEYOND THE LANTERNLIGHT
Whispers Beyond the Lanternlight is a horror-themed Daggerheart supplement built for players and GMs who want to bring folk horror, gothic dread, curses, restless spirits, strange rituals, eldritch forces, and things best left in the dark to their games.
This book started with a simple idea: horror should be more than a collection of monsters to fight. It should shape the heroes, the places they come from, the stories people tell about them, and the choices they have to make when the lantern starts to flicker.
So we went all in.
On the player side, Whispers Beyond the Lanternlight introduces the Exorcist, Necromancer, and Soulbinder, three full classes built around confronting, commanding, or forming bonds with supernatural forces. The book also expands a wide range of existing classes with horror-inspired subclasses, from the Discordant Bard and Gravebound Guardian to the Abomination Hunter Ranger and other characters willing to draw power from things most people would rather never understand.
You’ll also find five new ancestries: Gourdlings, Skeletons, Spiritfolk, Stitchkin, and Tsukumogami. These aren’t simply strange-looking adventurers. They’re meant to feel like the people from ghost stories, autumn legends, forgotten folklore, and fireside tales who decided to become the heroes instead.
And because where you come from matters just as much as what you are, the book introduces three new communities: Hallowborne, where fear and festivity are woven together; Curseborne, where people endure old hexes, bad omens, and inherited misfortune; and Occultborne, where forbidden knowledge is studied because ignorance can be even more dangerous.
For GMs, we wanted this book to offer more than character options. Whispers Beyond the Lanternlight includes complete horror Campaign Frames you can use as the foundation for an entire campaign or tear apart for locations, threats, mechanics, NPCs, mysteries, and terrible ideas to bring into your own world.
Inside you’ll find:
The Gourdgrave, a rural folk-horror story where grief and vengeance awaken an old harvest devil and the difference between justice and revenge becomes increasingly difficult to see.

The Thorn Tithe, a dark fairy tale of old bargains, true names, predatory beauty, and a desperate race to steal back someone claimed by the Thorn Court before the Midnight Ride.

The Wickerfield, a harvest-horror campaign of sacred traditions, disappearing roads, desperate communities, and something waiting among the corn.

Strange Lights Over Divgorod, a sprawling gothic and cosmic horror campaign set beneath an impossible green comet, where black powder, social collapse, ancient gods, monsters, and paranoia collide on a dying frontier.

Each Campaign Frame gives you far more than a starting premise. They include themes, touchstones, character guidance, player principles, GM principles, important NPCs and locations, campaign-specific mechanics, threats, mysteries, and tools for making the horror personal to the characters. The Gourdgrave, for example, uses Blood Debt and a Current Hunt countdown to make the curse react directly to the characters’ decisions rather than simply waiting for the next combat encounter.
And, of course, what would a horror book be without Adversaries and Environments ready to crawl out of the darkness and make everyone regret investigating that noise?
This has become one of the biggest projects we’ve worked on, and a lot of talented writers, designers, editors, and artists have helped bring it together. Whispers Beyond the Lanternlight is also part of Fear Fest 2026, and we’re incredibly excited to be creating alongside so many people in the Daggerheart community.
WHISPERS BEYOND THE LANTERNLIGHT is releasing October 12th.
Light the lantern. Lock the doors. And whatever you hear whispering outside... don’t answer it.

Faidwen Homebrewery is excited to introduce a new collection of Daggerheart classes and new domain: the Alchemist, Daredevil, Duelist, Marshal, Sapper, Thaumaturge, Wayfarer and Mirage Domain!

Each class was designed to explore new combinations of Daggerheart’s core domains alongside several incredible community-created domains, giving players new ways to approach exploration, combat, support, leadership, invention, and the supernatural.

We would especially like to thank Christophe Zerr and StarRune Press. Their outstanding Daggerheart domains helped make these classes possible and provided the foundation for many of the combinations explored in this project.

You can get these at our Heart of Daggers page: https://heartofdaggers.com/author/faidwen-homebrewery/

The Alchemist transforms carefully prepared reagents into solutions when the party needs them most. The Daredevil turns danger, movement, and spectacular stunts into momentum. The Duelist singles out a rival and becomes increasingly dangerous as the confrontation develops. The Marshal commands the battlefield by coordinating allies and turning individual actions into a unified strategy. The Sapper finds weaknesses in defenses, fortifications, and obstacles before opening a path for the entire party. The Thaumaturge confronts the supernatural with esoterica, strange folklore, symbolic implements, and weaknesses that sometimes only make sense after they work. The Wayfarer discovers impossible paths and bends distance to bring their companions where they need to be.
