Heart Director's Commentary Episode 15 - An Adverse(ary) Reaction Part 1 Jan 19, 2021

Show notes

We spent an absolute age making the adversaries in Heart - dangerous, pathetic, frantic creatures who are just doing their best to survive and maybe that means they kill and eat you. Learn about their design and where we got the ideas from (Greek mythology mainly) as we do the first half of the Adversaries chapter, all the way from Angels to Ghosts.

Heart Director's Commentary Episode 13 - Delving Deeper Into Delving Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

Just a short one this time - we take a look at delving and exploration in Heart, endorse correct mapping practices, and explain how we couldn't (and didn't!) write any delves in the book.

Heart Director's Commentary Episode 12 - Advanced Dungeons And Dragging Yourself To Safety Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, we go into the rules at length - difficulty, fallout, and equipment - talking about our evolution from Spire, the challenges in writing the right tragedies to befall your players, and how decent equipment is basically a win button for the game that we forgot to tell anyone about.
