If you know a Delver who perished in a memorable way, post a short obituary to honour them here! If we reach the Echo edition stretch goal, their obituary might even show up in print.
Note: Ideal these obituaries should be short, punchy, and tragic. (Aim for for a couple of sentences and ~10-20 words at most).
Some example obituaries:
Fingers-Grace-The-Blade, decapitated by the angel he tried to worship.
Lynd Vassail, finally shed her skin and became one with the Heart.
Dafwyn Pek, crushed by the Vermissian to save their beloved Mayid.

Now that we've hit our £40,000 stretch goal, we will be adding a 24 page booklet to the Heart GM screen! We are very excited to cram this booklet to bursting with useful tables, references, and handouts that will let GMs take their Heart games to new heights (or depths?).
The idea being that you crazy GMs can cut out parts of the booklet and stick them all over your screen, to create your very own 'red-string-murder-board' GM screen custom made for your game.
With that in mind, what sorts of tables or references would you like to see in the GM booklet? Comment below and we might be able to add them in!
Here are some ideas provided by the RRD team and the Rowan Rook and Decard Discord to get your creative juices flowing.
Tables:
- Trinkets, rubbish, and pocket-lint.
- Random NPCs and Delvers.
- Havens and what makes them unique.
- Environmental descriptions by Tier.
- Strange sights.
References:
- Skills, Domains, and their associated uses.
- Equipment tags.
- Fallouts.
- A flowchart of how Delves work.
- An index of the rulebook.
- A simple rules summary.
- Class Beat Sheets.
Handouts:
- A ratty return ticket for the Vermissian, never used.
- Strange sketches of creatures, landmarks, and other disquieting sights.

Project Update: Dagger Update - Closing the project on BackerKit
TL;DR: This project is now closed. Details below for how to contact RRD, join the community or follow up on post-campaign pledges/issues.
–
Our work here is done
That’s it. The project portion of this is all done, the game is out in the world and we’re very happy to see people playing it. It’s in your hands now.
Fulfillment finished
All Backers who have filled in their surveys and paid for their shipping should have their packages.
Feedback & Community
If you’ve already had a chance to check out your games why not head over to our website orders page and leave a product review that might encourage more people to try the game? Or join our Discord server and chat to other backers about it?
If you social your media, you can always tag us on Instagram, Bluesky or Facebook to let us know what you’re doing with your games, we’re @rowanrookanddecard most places. Or you can still comment here on the project - we always monitor our old projects.
Consolidating Digital Files
All the digital rewards for this project have already been shared in your BackerKit account - check your Digital Downloads button to find them. We’ve also made these available on our website for people who have accounts there.
If you want to add these resources to your RRD webstore downloads please make an account on the RRD webstore using the same email as you have used for your BackerKit account.
If you do not yet have an account on our website, you can create one here:
https://rowanrookanddecard.com/my-account/
If you already have an RRD Webstore account under a different email, please send Jim in the Customer Service mines ([email protected]) an email with your BackerKit email details and the account email details, and we can link them together manually.
We will consolidate these requests together and then upload all the files in bulk, so it may take a little while for this process to happen.

Closing the Campaign
From 3rd April 2026, the BackerKit project will be closed. This means that you are no longer able to fill out surveys or amend orders without contacting RRD directly.
If you find yourself in this situation please email us ([email protected]) and let us know your Backer email or number.
Once the campaign has closed we cannot guarantee the availability of all the items that may have been attached to your original Pledge. Some items are made uniquely for the crowdfunder, and are often in limited supply to begin with. Post-campaign stocks are time-limited and we’re unable to hold stores of items ‘just in case’; from a core book to a unique pin, it will go out of stock in time. We will always try to fulfil as much of your original pledge as possible.
Thanks enormously for all your support, folks
xoxo

Project Update: June Dagger Update - Asia-Pacific Fulfillment is GO!
TL;DR: Australia, New Zealand & Asia/Pacific areas about to kick off!
Australia/NZ/Asia-Pacific
After an epicly slow and gruelling journey, our pallets to Australia have arrived in port and are now through the Border agents (who inspected closely for any evidence of rouge beasties and taxes & duties skulduggery). Our pallets are moving to the warehouse NOW!
We anticipated this would be a slow process, but a short holdover in Port Klang, Malaysia whilst the books switched ships added an extra week, and then the aforementioned Australian Border Force undertook a very rigorous and thorough inspection & checking procedure that slowed a number of things down with our overseas agents and the various parties we have to work with in order to move 1200Kg of paper products around the globe.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding throughout this process. The wait is almost at an end.
We will be locking addresses on BackerKit today. 48hrs later we will send these details to our Australian fulfilment partners at Aetherworks so they can begin to process them from Monday morning. I understand that they will then undertake their own address check as part of their sending process.
Then, the packages will be picked, packed and sent out to couriers to get them the last step of the way to Backers all across the Asia-Pacific region. Aetherworks will provide tracking links to Backers through their emails. We are also hoping to update tracking links directly through BackerKit as well.
UK/EU/ROW
All UK & EU customers should have now received your packages. If you haven’t, please get in contact with our Customer Service team using the link below.
Americas
All USA, Canada and Central/Southern Americas customers should have now received your packages. If you haven’t, please get in contact with our Customer Service team using the link below.
Generally
Now that we’re in the final stretch, we’ve closed the Backerkit preorder store, and are directing people on to our website. If you’ve yet to fill in your survey, please do so now - we’ll close the Backerkit completely once all our APAC backers have their books.
Thanks enormously for all your support, folks - we couldn’t do this without you. We’d love to see more pictures of your parcels as they start to arrive - you can tag us on Instagram, BlueSky or Facebook, or pop links in the comments here. If you’ve had your books for a while now why not join the Discord and let us know about your table experiences?
As ever, there’s always a risk things will get dinged, damaged or lost in transit. If that happens to you, we want to put it right, so get in touch by emailing [email protected] if anything goes wrong with your parcel.
xoxo
