Heartbeat Issue #2: Dinosaurs - The Lost Lands Vol.1

A Daggerheart Adversary Themed Zine

"For generations, sailors whispered of a wall of fog so dense it swallowed ships whole. Cartographers marked the region with a single notation: Here There Be Nothing. They were wrong."

Here is exactly what you will find in this issue of The Heartbeat:

• A Complete Scene by Scene One-Shot Adventure: The Dinosaur Derby. A Tier 1, fast-paced, no-holds-barred race through the city streets for any amount of players where the party must outpace a corrupt racing syndicate. Saddle up. Try not to get headbutted.

• 23 Adversaries: Dinosaurs and Saurians across all four Tiers, from a chicken-sized Compsognathus to the king himself, Tyrannosaurus Rex, plus a unique universal "Curious Animal" stat block for social encounters.

• 5 Environments: A Saurian City, the Dinosaur Derby, a volcanic eruption, an apex predator battle, and a campaign scale tectonic threat that can reshape your entire world.

• Saurian Ancestry: A brand new playable ancestry for Daggerheart! Dinosaur humanoids built by survival and shaped by millennia on a continent that never made things easy. Includes a printable Ancestry Card and rules for Mixed Ancestries.

• Lore: The history, culture, and world-building hooks to make the Lost Lands feel like a place worth exploring, not just a backdrop for big lizards.

• New Mechanics: Ettin's Innovations covering tools for taming wild beasts, a social framework for curious animals, and pet mechanics built for the table.

• Ettin's Scaling Tables: Scaling tables based to adjust the adversaries to any tier for your Party.

The Heartbeat is the definitive toolkit for GMs who want their adversaries to have a pulse. Don’t just run an encounter, give it a Heartbeat.
