Dark Horse Books has announced a brand new release for fans of adventure, fantasy, and tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs), 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 (City of Mist, Legend in the Mist) and illustrated by Aviv Or (Critical Role: Tales of Exandria—Artagan), 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.
“We started Crystal Heart in early 2017,” confirmed Or. “And while we’ve had a vision of the whole story from the get-go, it was still a bit of a feat to actually finish it, seven years later. And now we couldn’t be more excited to see it reach its final form in print! The world of Crystal Heart has lived in our minds for years, created originally for an anime-inspired home game. Sharing it with the webcomic readers and later with players of the RPG has been so fulfilling, and we can’t wait to have even more people experience this weird, fun, unique world for themselves.”
Join the adventure in the world of Crystal Heart when the 336-page 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.
