Heart: The City Beneath RPG - Quickstart Rules
A softcover edition of the Quickstart rules with a complimentary PDF copy for download.
The Heart: a roiling tear of unreality beneath the city of Spire.
Within its borders, there are routes to unknown places, great secrets, shrines to long-dead gods, and monsters the like of which have never been seen on the surface world. In the Heart RPG, players take on the role of delvers – strange, desperate, broken people exploring the nightmare city in search of the object of their obsessions.
Take your first steps into the City Beneath with this streamlined version of the rules for the Heart RPG. This document includes:
- All the rules you need to adventure, go mad and die in the Heart
- Five pre-generated characters with space for advancement – the magic- addicted Junk Mage, the zealous Heretic, the noble Vermissian Knight, and more
- An adventure, Drowned, which sees you rescuing vital components from a lost settlement to put a stop to coral-boned monsters flooding the Church of the Moon Beneath with salt water

Important Notes:
1. Meeple Stars can be earned on retail merchandise purchased through both our webstore and café shop.
2. Most of our prices include VAT at 20%. Meeple Stars are not earned on the VAT
portion of the price. For example, if you buy a game for £50, you’ll earn Meeple Stars on the net amount of £41.67 (the remaining £8.33 goes to HMRC), which would give you 125 Meeple Stars.
3. Cover charge payments and food and drink purchases at the café do not qualify for
Meeple Stars.
4. Meeple Stars can be redeemed either during webstore checkout or when purchasing games
at the café. Each discount can only be applied to a single purchase. If the value of the item is less than the discount amount, the remaining balance will be forfeited.
5. Discounts cannot be used for shipping costs, only for merchandise.
