To quote myself, “there are players who would do anything, anything at all, to avoid simply saying ‘I attack’.”

To quote Douglas Adams, “The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”

Crystal Heart core book, currently Pay What You Want until the end of the pandemic, whenever that is.

Living in Syn, a big (40 pages) expansion, with lots of new stuff.

Full of Heart, offering 10 new Crystals.

Crystal Heart Action and Adventure Decks, a 54-card poker deck in Crystal Heart style and with portraits of the Heroic Agents, and a 52-card adventure Deck with unique adventure cards.

Crystal Heart Printable Miniatures, with lots of art from the book, and lots of new art as well.

Crystal Heart Tokens for Virtual Tabletops, currently Pay What You Want.

Five one-shot adventures written by various authors, including:

  • Delivery in a Wooosh, a chase on the high seas!
  • Ghosts of Iron, a pirate submarine!
  • Quick Take, strange burglaries!
  • Surf’s Way Up, surfing on whirlpools!
  • The Great Hunger, succumbing to dangerous shards!

Three Suggestions, a series of RP-invoking suggestions (with some rules) based around one concept. D&D-based rules are here, Dungeon World-based rules are here, but the rules aren’t the big sale here.

Venture Forth, a map-based, card-using storytelling game, in which you play a party of adventurers through their entire campaign. Developed based on the Quiet Year.
