For those wondering what Daggerheart is all about, picture this: two 12-sided dice, one for HOPE, one for FEAR, creating a narrative tug-of-war. And here’s the kicker—rolling the same number on both dice is a critical success. That’s right, even double ones are a reason to celebrate!

VIP Tickets: Very Important Presents

For those looking to splurge on a holiday treat, VIP packages offer everything from premium seating to a 45-minute pre-show where you can influence the story itself. It’s like being one of Santa’s elves, but instead of making toys, you’re crafting plot twists.

Ticket tiers range from $75 to $450, with the top tier offering a “box suite” experience that includes a private lounge, front-of-line entry, and even in-seat merchandise delivery. Because nothing says “happy holidays” like having Critical Role swag hand-delivered to you like a present from the North Pole.
