With one week to go, either we unleash all our big announcements in one tidal wave of cool, or we forever hold our peace. Guess which we’re choosing?

You seemed to quite like the setting chapter Mina shared a couple of weeks ago, and we really like it. Which leads to our first big announcement: 

YOU CAN HIDE AN IN-WORLD REBEL ZINE IN YOUR PLAYERS’ HOMES

That’s right, we’re making the setting section as a real zine, with notes from real rebels, with staples and rough paper and a definite sense that it was produced by an art school dropout and printed in the local library. 

It’s a great way to introduce players to the setting of Voidheart Symphony (and in doing so tempt them into playing it), and it’s also just a beautifully designed piece of art.

The zine’s included in the Everything pledge level, and available as an add-on for £7.50.

Inspired by the stories of your games and rebels, we’ve figured out what the final missing piece of the revised Voidheart is. It’s you! 

We’re offering an extremely limited pledge tier that will get twelve backers featured in the core Voidheart Symphony book as a potential contact for rebels. We’ll need some notes on the type of person you want to be and a photo you own the rights to. We’ll develop a character concept out of the notes, and photobash the photo to fit the feel of the book.

We want an actual play. We just do. We want a bunch of really excellent players and a stellar GM to take this gem of a book and bring it to life in a story that gets its hooks into you and won’t leave you alone until you finish it. 

So we’re making a podcast. Featuring some of our favourite people to play with (and watch play!), we’re aiming for a 7-8 episode story arc that will be available wherever you get your podcasts. We’ve carefully balanced the cast for drama, humour, warmth, and emotional intensity; all the things we want you to experience when you play Voidheart Symphony yourselves.

We’ve got Fiona Howat (What Am I Rolling? RPGeeks) GMing and Naomi Clarke (The Secret of St. Kilda, What Am I Rolling, Til Death Do Us Heart) producing. Naomi’s also playing, alongside Nathan Blades (Til Death Do Us Heart, Skyjacks), Candace the Magnificent (Scattered Choices, Unlikely Heroes) and Minerva McJanda who I assume requires no further introduction.

Now, APs are quite expensive. We need to get to £85,000 to do this – so please help us get the word out about Voidheart Symphony. Tell your fellow players, tell your friends, tell your gran (she’ll love it, we promise), tell your Friendly Local Game Store, and tell every social media platform you’re on, as often as you can bear to. We’ve only got seven days to shoot for the moon. 

Until next time,

Chant
