Discover the High Stakes World of Crystal Heart

Posted on by

Dark Horse Books invites fans of adventure, fantasy, and tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) to experience the world of Crystal Heart. The first-ever print edition of the complete Crystal Heart webcomic, which references the Savage Worlds RPG system, will arrive in November 2025. Written by Eran Aviram and illustrated by Aviv Or, Crystal Heart offers a unique look into the world of tabletop roleplaying games. 

Enter 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. One such team is on course to unearth much more: secrets within their ranks and the mystery behind the crystals themselves.

Rotem, Guy, Lily, and Game Master Nadav jump into a TTRPG campaign, weaving an intriguing—and often hilarious—story about friendship, fantasy, and world-changing magic. Readers will be there with the players as they learn the game, roll dice, discover the world, and shape the narrative in pursuit of the secrets of the crystals. 

Join the adventure in the world of Crystal Heart when the 336-page (7×10”) paperback volume arrives in bookstores and comic shops on November 25 and 26, 2025, for $29.99. Pre-order now from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, your local comic shop or bookstore, or visit Comic Shop Locator for more details and stores near you.

The Goon and Fear Agent Come to RPGs

Posted on by

Pinnacle Entertainment Group has launched two Kickstarters running simultaneously for the pulp scifi setting Fear Agent and “zombie Noir” The Goon comics. Both were funded in less than 90 minutes and have already passed numerous stretch goals!

The Goon RPG for Savage Worlds

Multiple Eisner-award winning comic The Goon pulls no punches when Goon starts swingin’—usually at the chug-heads, changelings, and snake-riddled rival gangs what get in his way. Now your strangers, weirdos, and ne’er do wells can join his crew, make Lonely Street a bit less zombified, and even save the Town in the dramatic Plot Point Campaign “From Hell’s Heart We Bite at Thee!”

The Goon was created by Eric Powell and published by Dark Horse Comics.

Fear Agent RPG for Savage Worlds

The Earth is decimated in an alien invasion—then the “backwards” survivors are invited to join the United Systems as a sort of half-hearted apology. Just like the star of the comics, the “Last Fear Agent” Heath Huston, your heroes are stuck cleaning up the mess in a planet-hopping, time-traveling, conundrum-unravelling journey against the strangest and weirdest aliens the Deep has to offer. And all with a few twists worthy of this phenomenal series!

Fear Agent was created by Rick Remender, Tony Moore, and Jerome Opeña, and published by Dark Horse Comics.

The Goon RPG and the Fear Agent RPG for Savage Worlds Kickstarters each offer a core book, GM Screen with adventure, Bennies, dice, and amazing miniatures sculpted by Bronze Age Miniatures. A copy of the Savage Worlds core rules is required to play ($10 at www.peginc.com).

If you are new to Savage Worlds, Pinnacle announced an Un-Stretch Goal: PDFs for Deadlands, Rippers Resurrected, The Last Parsec, and East Texas University. Digital or higher level backers on either Goon RPG or Fear Agent RPG Kickstarter get these PDFs for FREE after the Kickstarter. That’s a terrific way to get a feel for the variety of genres Savage Worlds can handle.

Gen Con 2015: Pinnacle Announces Fear Agent, Goon, and Flash Gordon RPGs

Posted on by

Pinnacle Entertainment Group Gen ConAt Gen Con 2015, Pinnacle Entertainment Group, the makers of Savage Worlds, Deadlands, and many other games, previewed its upcoming releases for 2015 and beyond.

Pinnacle previewed previously announced properties such as Deadlands Lost Colony, Necessary Evil 2, and Weird War I, as well as several new surprise licenses.

The first announcement was for Fear Agent, a comic series by Rick Remender, Tony Moore, and Jerome Opeña. Fear Agent was published by Dark Horse Comics, and tells the tale of Heath Huston, a cynical Texan who ventures into space to battle the aliens who destroyed the Earth. Fear Agent is a high-action, thrill-filled race through space and time.

Pinnacle’s second announcement was for another Dark Horse Comic series, Eric Powell’s The Goon. This long-running, award-winning, tongue in cheek pulp crime series is laced with horror and humor.

Pinnacle’s most unexpected announcement was for the Flash Gordon roleplaying game. The design team played the iconic music by Queen and then displayed the well-known Flash Gordon logo to massive fanfare from the assembled crowd. No other information was released about the project, but Pinnacle handed out buttons to the attendees and afterward sold retro-style Flash Gordon t-shirts at their booth.
