ICHOR-DROWNED
A downloadable game
The Heart has changed. It lies drowned, deep under a seemingly infinite torrent of the blood of gods. Somewhere, somehow, a god was murdered—and the wound has not stopped bleeding. Now, the Heart fills to the brim day by day with warping, angry godsblood—ichor—and the denizens of this nightmare realm are beginning to change along with it.
ICHOR-DROWNED is a supplement for HEART: The City Beneath, the award-winning RPG by Rowan, Rook and Decard.
Inspired by the aquatic nightmares of works like Sunless Sea and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. It includes new options for players and game-masters alike: wretched character classes, transformed landmarks, vehicles to sail the accursed seas, inspiration for new delves, and much more.
Dive into the murky depths and discover what lurks within:
- Four new character classes
- The Djinn Querent, a demon-haunted artificer
- The Gibberwright, a Heart-touched artist
- The Paracausal Pugilist, capable of punching through reality itself
- The Somnajac, a waking nightmare that steals dreams
- A new character ancestry: the star-sailing Manalfar
- A new character calling: the furious call of Retribution
- Delve Draws, an oracle deck prompt system for generating HEART delves
- Vehicles, a flexible equipment system for navigating the City Beneath
- Five new Landmarks transformed by the tides of change
- Five new Adversaries to torment delvers
- New character sheets and vehicle sheets to use for your game
- Premade characters using the rules provided by ICHOR-DROWNED
- And finally, TESTAMENT, an adventure that takes delvers on a whirlwind heist down a cursed river of ichor into the golden depths of heaven
Your purchase includes printer-friendly versions of the premade characters, a blank HEART character sheet, and a blank Vehicle sheet.

I'm a new dungeon master, and I ran into the problem that I didn't know how "generating ideas for delves" works. I've used delve draws for this, and I'm very positive about it! I'll leave a more elaborate review once I finish my campaign.
Next to that, I just want to tell you how much I appreciate Sillion and Brendan's work. Heart is a magnificent game -- it deserves all the supplements in the world -- and you set a great example. I hope much more follows.
genuinely, one of the most meaningful compliments I’ve ever received. Thank you so much for trying ID out, and even more for finding a place for it in your Heart ;~)
please keep us informed with your further experiences with the work, and if there’s anything we could do for you let us know!

I haven't yet read my copy that I bought just last night, but damn if this is not a spectacularly impressive looking book. Kudos to the artists (including layout). I thought I might be taking a bit of a chance at 20 bucks, but that amount of content and seeming quality has made me immediately happy I took the plunge.
this is really great, can't wait to use it in my game!
Would you possibly do a print run? Put it up at DTRPG or something at POD...
Very possible, stay tuned!
Great work! I really love the Delve Draws and can't wait to test out some of the other stuff in our current game. Thanks for sharing your creation!
