If you know a Delver who perished in a memorable way, post a short obituary to honour them here! If we reach the Echo edition stretch goal, their obituary might even show up in print.
Note: Ideal these obituaries should be short, punchy, and tragic. (Aim for for a couple of sentences and ~10-20 words at most).
Some example obituaries:
Fingers-Grace-The-Blade, decapitated by the angel he tried to worship.
Lynd Vassail, finally shed her skin and became one with the Heart.
Dafwyn Pek, crushed by the Vermissian to save their beloved Mayid.

Now that we've hit our £40,000 stretch goal, we will be adding a 24 page booklet to the Heart GM screen! We are very excited to cram this booklet to bursting with useful tables, references, and handouts that will let GMs take their Heart games to new heights (or depths?).
The idea being that you crazy GMs can cut out parts of the booklet and stick them all over your screen, to create your very own 'red-string-murder-board' GM screen custom made for your game.
With that in mind, what sorts of tables or references would you like to see in the GM booklet? Comment below and we might be able to add them in!
Here are some ideas provided by the RRD team and the Rowan Rook and Decard Discord to get your creative juices flowing.
Tables:
- Trinkets, rubbish, and pocket-lint.
- Random NPCs and Delvers.
- Havens and what makes them unique.
- Environmental descriptions by Tier.
- Strange sights.
References:
- Skills, Domains, and their associated uses.
- Equipment tags.
- Fallouts.
- A flowchart of how Delves work.
- An index of the rulebook.
- A simple rules summary.
- Class Beat Sheets.
Handouts:
- A ratty return ticket for the Vermissian, never used.
- Strange sketches of creatures, landmarks, and other disquieting sights.

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Feb Dagger Update - Fulfillment Expands
TL;DR: if you’re in the USA, Canada, or Central & South America, your addresses are locking down imminently. Please check they are correct!
Everyone else: your books are moving towards you, many have arrived!
–
Fulfilment flies along and we’re on to Phase 2. Details below are laid out by area.
A quick note for all of our Backers who backer at the Original Art level. We will be handling the sending of those canvases directly from the UK. This way we can ensure the item is well wrapped and fully insured throughout its journey to you. The rest of your order will be fulfilled separately.
UK/EU/ROW
All of our UK & EU packages have been picked, packed and collected by our couriers. Our fulfilment partners worked super fast and all of these were sorted and sent out quicker than we expected.
There will still be some backers who are waiting for the packages to arrive at their doorsteps, but it looks like this should be completed ahead of schedule.
Americas
US customs have confirmed that the final items needed for fulfilment to begin have cleared customs and are on their way by truck to our US Warehouse.
As we’re sending this out, they should be being unloaded at the warehouse. That means a new fulfilment step unlocks, just in time for February.
Your addresses will lock down in the next 48 hours, so look out for that email.
We are also working out the final plans for Canadian shipping, with 2 options available to us. There should be no delay to Canadian orders beginning as a result of this choice.
It will take a few weeks to fill all these orders. You’ll get a tracking code and we will also update your order in Backerkit so you know when it’s shipped. We’ll also update you again when fulfilment is done. The last orders to these territories should ship before the end of Feb.
Australia/NZ/Asia-Pacific
We have had a short delay with shipping freight to Australia. At present this hasn’t impacted our fulfilment plans, but we will keep you informed. The items remain packed up and ready to move out as soon as we have our route and airline locked in.
We still expect this to be the last group to begin fulfilment, kicking off around mid-February.
Generally
Thanks enormously for all your support, folks - we couldn’t do this without you. We’d love to see even more pictures of your parcels as they start to arrive - you can tag us on Instagram, BlueSky or Facebook, or pop links in the comments here.
As ever, there’s always a risk things will get dinged, damaged or lost in transit. If that happens to you, we want to put it right, so get in touch by emailing [email protected] if anything goes wrong with your parcel.
We’ll write again once we’re ready to lock the final batch of addresses - hopefully in a week or two.
xoxo
– Alex, and everyone at RR&D
Did anyone else get charged for VAT/import taxes? I assumed those were handled like it says in the shipping cost image. I messaged support just now but was wondering if anyone else had this happen.
PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Dagger in the Heart, Books On Their Way!
Greetings Delvers!
Just a quick update today to let you know that fulfillment has begun in earnest. If you were a Backer, or pre-ordered before January the 8th, you can expect your books to arrive any day now. Some of you might even get your books before you read this! You can thank the temporal indifference of the Vermissian network.
For more specifics, check your region below:
(Note: If you pre-ordered after January 8th, your order hasn't been locked or charged yet. We'll do this after primary fulfillment is complete to avoid any warehouse mixups.)

UK and EU Orders
UK and EU orders are all at our EU distribution center and the first deliveries begun last night (16/01/2025). That means, if you're in the UK or EU, you can expect your order to arrive in the coming days (given time for the warehouses to pack orders and send them by courier).
US Orders
Our books should arrive in our US distribution warehouse this time next week, at which point they'll begin sorting and courier delivery. You can expect fulfillment to start in a couple of weeks, with orders starting to arrive after that.
AUS, NZ & AsiaPacific
Our books are prepared for their imminent flight to our Asian distribution warehouse. You can expect fulfillment to start in a couple of weeks, with orders starting to arrive after that.
Problems?
If you have any questions, you can send an e-mail to [email protected] and include "Dagger Fulfillment" alongside your name in the subject line to help our hard working CS staff find you. Just remember, there are a lot of orders and not a lot of CS staff (read: one), so don't freak out if we can't reply immediately (we aim to reply to all CS queries within 3 working days, though).
We hope your books arrive safe and sound!
