ION Heart is all about searching for your place in the universe. Your Mech has been many things across its existence: From a weapon of war to a circus juggler, it has led many lives with many Pilots. Your job as a Pilot is to bond with your Mech as you move on with their lives, discovering their true purpose and finding joy in the world.

This project is produced by Parable Games, a TTRPG company based in the UK. Started by two brothers, Barney and Charlie Menzies, they teamed up with some like-minded friends along the way - Adam, Ben, and Matt all joined to form a group of RPG super-geeks.
Ben Alexander: Artist and creator of ION HEART Ben is an award winning artist and game designer, and the creator of ION Heart. Before working in the tabletop space he had a career as a motion graphic designer working in branding and marketing. He has a love of grimdark miniature wargames, but also wanted to create a more optimistic world in the form of ION Heart. Ben combines his background in graphic design and love of comics and anime to create the world’s distinctive art style.
Matt Vaughan: Production A game-obsessed geek, Matt has been in the games industry for nearly 20 years and has covered every aspect of making games and complex products. From writing and publishing his own best-selling TTRPG content to working on huge licensed boardgames, Matt will make sure our mechs come to life and get to you smoothly!
Adam Holloway: Community Manager Adam is secretly a bunch of rabbits stuffed into a skin suit. Don't speak to him about Scream, A Nightmare on Elm Street, or Watership Down, or else you'll be here all day. Also an Award Winning Writer who hates talking about himself, especially in the third person.
Charlie Menzies: Additional Production Charlie is an award winning writer, game designer, and lover of kaiju. The chance to create a peaceful project all about lovely mecha was too great an opportunity not to be part of. With nearly a decade of experience in film and TV he has taken his nouse for large projects on the big screen and brought them to the tabletop.
