Welcome to Heartsong #1 – the first issue of the community fanzine for the Heart TTRPG. Heart is a game of desperate delvers in search of their darkest desires, and over the last few years, countless hapless fools have found just that.

During their journeys, they’ve encountered foes, friends, and fearsome locations, many of which have been made by game masters to delight and horrify their players. This fanzine is a collection of such creations, collated by Heart fans in the RR&D Discord.

This supplement contains new landmarks, delves, and adversaries to use with the base game, providing new options for both players and Game Masters – along with a whole new class, and a single-session scenario. This one-shot – ‘A Heart Elsewhere’ – was designed to be an introduction for new players, and includes several modular routes to match their interests and character beats. In total, this includes:

  • 17 weird and wonderful Landmarks across all Tiers of the Heart (and beyond!).
  • An entire new class – the demon-tainted berserkers known as Xanthous Zealots.
  • 8 delves for Deadwalkers through every one of the Heavens.
  • 2 Weapons of Renown, a new Legendary Adversary, new demonological advances, and more!

About Heart: The City Beneath

Heart: The City Beneath is a standalone roleplaying game that gives players the opportunity to take on the role of delvers – people on the fringes of civilisation who are driven to explore a shifting, unpredictable realm waiting beneath the surface of the world in search of answers, absolution, or revelations.

Using the Resistance System first developed in Spire: The City Must Fall, Heart focuses on what player characters have to lose in pursuit of their goals whether that’s supplies, friends, sanity, blood, a way home, or spatial or bodily integrity. Anything is up for grabs.

Classes such as the addict Junk Mage, the bee-filled Deep Apiarist, the ravenous Cleaver and the pre-deceased Deadwalker give players the opportunity to explore the world from unique perspectives.

To use Heartsong, you’ll need a copy of Heart: The City Beneath – you can pick one up here.
