You are cordially invited to a wedding of concepts inumerable and inexplicable. Follow a handless bride, an obliging witch, a partying grifter and a dead man walking, down into the corpulent depths. Will you survive the journey? Will you survive the nuptials? Hard to know, after all... the Heart wants what the Heart wants.

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.

Our longest episode yet deals with the world of the City Beneath - all the way from Derelictus down to the Heart Itself, and then beyond to the Eight Heavens.

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.

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.

Witches are jam-packed with barely-controlled magic channeled through a magical blood disease that they picked up from scrubbing around in meat tunnels and grimy tooth chandeliers. We love 'em - and we struggled to make them work. Learn about the difficulties inherent in not killing your darlings in this, the final Class episode before we move on to the rest of the book.
