A game of obsession and wonder in a nightmare dungeon beneath the Spire.
1) The Junk Mage class breakdown is now live on our website.
2) We've unlocked more art from Felix, which is nice!
Have a great weekend,

2) We've unlocked the Legendary Adversaries stretch goal! While we were working out the stretch goals, we sketched out some details on the Legendaries - here's a taste of what's in store.
That's all for now. Next stretch goal - a scant three grand away - is another batch of art from Felix. There are also a few Heartsblood editions left, if you've got a spare two hundred quid burning a hole in your pocket!

We've got 20 more Heartsblood editions on offer - if you want one, now is the time! Check out the rewards section and upgrade your pledge if you're feeling flush and fancy.
Yours,
- Chris, Grant and Mary
We weren't expecting you to grab up the Heartsblood editions so quickly. We've had a word with Wyvern and they say that they're able to make an additional 20 copies - hand-stitched, real leather, the works. Which is exciting! We're going to release them tomorrow morning at 10am - which gives people in Australia a chance to get one, as we launched at 11pm Sydney time and they were all reserved before folks woke up the next morning. (We'll do a quick update tomorrow when they go live.)
Want to learn more about the Heretic, our own special brand of religious zealot? You can do so in our class breakdown here. We're going to go through the classes one by one throughout the campaign and talk about what they do in the game, how they fit into the Heart, and what sort of bespoke gruesome ends we have in store for them.
That's it for now!

We've tidily overshot the £50,000 mark, and we ran out of stretch goals, so it's time to reveal some more. Here they are:
£60,000 - LEGENDARY ADVERSARIES. We’ll introduce five legendary adversaries, with accompanying illustrations, into the core book. These are the sort of monsters which campaigns are built around, and they’re all reinterpretations of creatures from classical myth - the pitiable, cursed, toxic Basilisk; a huge and unfathomable Minotaur attempting to escape from a prison dimension; the Gorgon, the Huntress, and more.
£65,000 - MORE ART. We’ll commission Felix Miall to illustrate bunch more things in the book. Felix is keen to “get really weird with it” after being somewhat restrained for the initial batch of drawings, and we can’t wait to see what he does.
£70,000 - DOORS TO ELSEWHERE Chris and Grant will write a scenario about exploring the curious otherworld of Elsewhere and release it as a PDF to all backers. If possible, we’ll print the scenario in softback and make it available for purchase during the pre-order period of the campaign.
£75,000 - THE CLEAVER. An entirely new class, included in the core book - a heartsblood hunter with spiraled horns of glistening bone, jet-black eyes that need no light to see, and the ability to predict the seemingly-random shifts in the Heart’s geography. If just gazing into the abyss isn’t enough for you and you want to climb right into the abyss and take a holiday in there, you’ll love the Cleaver.
We really didn't expect the Heartsblood Editions to sell out as quickly as they did! We're going to get in touch with Wyvern Bookbinders and see if we can order some more - thanks to the funding going as well as it is, that's something we can afford to do now. More news as and when we have it.
That's it for now. Thank you all for your ongoing support and enthusiasm.
