In a world where everyone's heart is made of stone, special agents of an organization called Syn replace their own hearts with mysterious crystals that grant them unique powers, and team up to unearth more of these valuable artifacts around the world.

About the Author

Eran Aviram (he/him) edits and writes games with the main purpose of turning more people into role-players. These days he's the Chief Editor for Son of Oak (City of Mist, Queerz!, Otherscape, Legend in the Mist), and his writing can be seen in games by Goodman Games, EN Publishing, Mongoose Publishing, and others. He self-publishes indie games on nnesk.itch.io.

Aviv Or (she/her) is an illustrator and comic artist, living in London, UK, and definitely should be getting out more to enjoy that fact. She started drawing seriously around age 13, when she realised she could never become one of the X-Men herself, so drawing it would be the next best thing.

Nowadays she works mainly in and around tabletop roleplaying games: creating artwork for books, designing characters for streams, and illustrating comics. She is also the co-creator of the webcomic Crystal Heart, about - you guessed it - roleplaying games.

Her portfolio is at avivor.com, and she shares art, makes silly word games, and smashes the Like button on pictures of food and adorable animals as @avivor on Bluesky.
