What ho ye delirious delvers of the depths. It’s time for another project update, this time with big news and even bigger releases!

First and foremost, the PDF preview of the new Heart: The City Beneath edition is now available online for your ravenous consumption (provided you’ve purchased a copy of Heart ofc. No free meals here. You’ll pay for your pound of flesh like the rest of us.) Simply hop on your webstore of choice and download the newest version to check it out for yourself.

Dubbed the ‘Delve Edition’ this new version of Heart is bursting with lovely layout updates, errata, delver obituaries, and four new pages on crafting Delves for your players (masterfully penned by Chris and Grant under extreme duress as a ‘break’ from their duties on Hollows).

We’re giving this document a bit of breathing time before sending it off to print, so if you spot anything amiss, please let us know by telling us we messed up in our errata form.  

You can’t have a shiny new version of Heart without a shiny new character sheet to hand to your players. Well, arguably you can, but I refuse to accept that reality if the alternative lets us force Mina to make us a shiny new form fillable character sheet for folk to use.

This new sheet is currently bundled alongside all digital copies of Heart, and we’ll update the website version some time shortly so everyone can get their hands on them.

While all this fancy corebook work has been going on, the text for Dagger in the Heart has emerged from editing and slammed into layout like a boiling hot locomotive ploughing into an antique store (that’s to say: with much commotion and screaming noises from everyone involved).

This means that, all things going well, you can look forward to getting your grubby mitts on the PDF copies of Dagger in the Heart within the coming weeks, once Mina has beaten it into its final shape.

A bunch of the RRD staff will be flying out to the states to attend GenCon next week. They’ve been promised that this will be worth the jetlag and risk of gun-related-crimes. If you want to help make that statement true, why not swing by and chuck some money at them (or inflate their egos by praising their work, you know, if that’s more your speed). 

I’m told they have the last 95 copies of Heart in the US squirrelled away in a highly secure cardboard box. So if you hunger for the pre-Delve edition original recipe Heart, this could very well be your last chance to get a hold of one. We’ll have two booths this year, one dedicated to Eat the Reich (Booth 455 Main Hall) and our Studio 2 (Booth 1929/2029 Main Hall).

Grant and Chris will be hosting a panel to talk about the world of Heart and Spire if you’re so inclined. Tickets are currently sold out, but who knows you might be able to show up and crash the joint if you’re lucky. https://www.gencon.com/events/250690 

We’re also running convention scenarios of Heart, Spire, Hollows, and more! Again… sold out (wow we’re so popular) but you never know. All told GenCon should be a veritable RRD blowout. You’ll be sick of us by the end, probably.

Speaking of ends, that’s all for this month.

Oh and for the 3% of you who still haven’t locked your pledges: I SEE YOU! GET ON IT! DON’T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE!
