Now joined with the slightly femine blackness of a warrior-surgeon, Greyson and his death considered his term of enlistment up and journeyed down to the Heart. Heart: The City Beneath is a tabletop roleplaying game about delving into a nightmare undercity that will give you everything you’ve ever dreamed of - or kill you in the process. Description: A walk along high, ruined walkways alongside the tracks which have collapsed in places; crystals line the path eventually; the smell of incense and sulphur. This can manifest in a number of ways, covering everything from blood loss to being contorted by the eerie energies of the Heart itself.

Other abilities give them keener hunting instincts, natural weaponry or the ability to command simple animals.You came to Spire with nothing but the clothes on your back and a dream, looking for excitement and profit. It is a dungeon-crawling, story-forward tabletop RPG that focuses on what characters have to lose in pursuit of their dreams in the chaotic darkness beneath the world. This is generally unchanged from Spire, but difficulty removes dice after the roll, making higher difficulties much more dangerous.

Played with for Vermissian Knights and Vermissian Sages, who have uncovered some sort of truth and can draw genuine power from their tools and rituals. Zenith beats, like the final secret one I mentioned, are very hard to achieve, and not everyone will manage to do so before their untimely but likely deserved death. And yeah he was seeing new places, but it turns out much of soldiering is dull as beans until it very much suddenly is it. The latter also each have three Minor Abilities that can be taken to customize them further, and are alot more varied in how they impact play.

So, I’ve been left with an excess of prepped games, and no-where to run them – so I’ll be putting them out on here. For players, however, stress is applied to one of five tracks; Blood (physical injury and exhaustion), Mind (madness and coping with weirdness), Echo (the Heart's twisting and corruptive effects), Fortune (luck, over-confidence and incompetence), and Supplies (loss of resources, broken equipment, debt). If the roll is less or equal to the total stress the character has, they suffer a Fallout, minor on a roll of 6 or less, major otherwise. A huge whale-beast has broken the surface of the water below, and a light snore echoes around the cavern – but the eggs are on the other side. I’ve got more to say about prep for loose-improv games like Heart and Spire, but that’s another blog post.
