“Primevil” – Major Daggerheart Campaign Takes Players to a World of Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs, magic, and a civilization on the brink of the Bronze Age—and somewhere in between, time itself starts to unravel: With Primevil, Good Egg Games has announced an unusually ambitious campaign for Daggerheart. The 200+ page campaign and setting book is designed to take characters from Level 1 to 10 and is set to be funded through Kickstarter in fall 2026.

Primevil is set on a prehistoric island whose inhabitants live at roughly an early Bronze Age level of technology. Historical accuracy, however, is clearly not the goal: Alongside dinosaurs and magic, time travel elements will also play a role.

The campaign is designed as an open world. Rather than guiding the group through a largely predetermined sequence of adventures, players’ decisions are intended to have a greater impact on how the story unfolds. Primevil is planned as a complete Level 1-to-10 campaign, allowing a group to experience the full progression of their Daggerheart characters within a single campaign.

More Than Just a Campaign

Good Egg Games is also planning plenty of additional game material. The book will include new Adversaries and Environments, battlemaps, and Items. Companions will also have a mechanical role as Allies with their own Ally Abilities.

In addition, Primevil will feature its own crafting system. How extensive this system will be—and how important crafting your own equipment will become for surviving on the island—has not yet been revealed.

The campaign is also intended to remain flexible when it comes to encounters: Key encounters will be scaled according to the number of player characters and will come with battlemaps.

The people behind Primevil are no strangers to the Daggerheart community. The project is a collaboration between Good Egg Games, the creators of Archibald’s Almanac of Adversaries, and Eric Lazure, creator of Hope Springs Eternal. Original artwork for Primevil will be created by Héctor Rodríguez.

Kickstarter Coming This Fall

The Kickstarter campaign for Primevil is scheduled to launch in fall 2026. No exact date has been announced yet. There is currently no pre-launch page either, although Good Egg Games has already said that one is “coming soon.”

With more than 200 pages, a complete Level 1-to-10 campaign, and its own additional rules, Primevil goes well beyond the scope of a small Daggerheart supplement. Its premise in particular is likely to attract attention: An open fantasy world combining the Bronze Age and dinosaurs is an unusual concept even among the many Daggerheart settings currently in development.
