Macmillan Publishers is selling and distributing Darrington Press, the tabletop game publishing company that was established in 2020 as the publishing arm of media company Critical Role.
This spring Darrington Press will launch Daggerheart, a high fantasy tabletop roleplaying game. Macmillan will ship the official Daggerheart Core Set to coincide with the game's launch.
In addition, Macmillan will handle U.S. and international sales for the Darrington Press titles Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn, Candela Obscura Core Rulebook, and new titles in 2026 and 2027.
"Crafting and inspiring storytelling through games has always been our passion, and our partnership with Macmillan will allow us to share our roleplaying books to an even broader audience," said Ed Lopez, COO of Critical Role.
Liz Tzetzo, v-p, publisher services and distribution for Macmillan, added: "Critical Role and Darrington Press have a passionate following and their creative vision makes them leaders in the TTRPG world. We look forward to bringing their books to a wider trade audience."
