Licensee Spotlight: Crystal Heart for Savage Worlds

Published On: December 2, 2025Categories: Licensee, New Release, News

Ace licensee Up to 4 Players is excited to announce three new releases for Crystal Heart for Savage Worlds!

💎 First up, the new Crystal Heart graphic novel published by Dark Horse Comics tells the story of a world where everyone’s heart is made of stone and teams of special agents of an organization called Syn replace their own hearts with mysterious crystals that grant them unique powers. One such team is on course to unearth much more: secrets within their own ranks, as well as the mystery behind the crystals themselves. Follow four friends around the table in this Savage Worlds actual play comic, as they learn the game, roll dice, discover the world, and go on a “fast, furious, fun” adventure. This all-new graphic novel is available wherever comics are sold!

💎 Second, Original Syn, available now through DriveThruRPG, is the long-awaited, final expansion to the Crystal Heart tabletop roleplaying game for Savage Worlds. Original Syn is a collection of explanations and rules that expand upon the world of Crystal Heart beyond the original rulebook, based on the canon of the comic-turned-graphic novel.

Inside you’ll find:

  • The [REDACTED] Within: A full explanation about [REDACTED], their game statistics, and how to become one.
  • What Are Crystals, Really: Covers the origin and metaphysics of Crystals according to the comic’s canon. This chapter also explains how to create and destroy Crystals, discusses the Legendary Crystals, and offers new variant rules.
  • The Eagles’ Route: Goes through every chapter of the comic and presents behind the scenes explanations and rules for things that don’t appear in the RPG book.
  • The Deepest Truth: Answers the question of what to do after revealing the biggest secret of the campaign. Hint: hide an even bigger secret. We offer four suggestions, each deeper than the last.
  • The Appendix presents, what else, new Crystals.

💎 And finally, Arcane Background: Crystals presents a new source of power for Savage Worlds based on the Crystal Heart comic but suitable for any fantasy setting!

Crystals are created when the deep thoughts of supernatural beings from the outer planes enter the physical world. Each crystal has its own unique powers, but to control them, a Jeweler must create a close supernatural connection between their soul and the essence of the crystal – a two-way connection, which affects the character’s personality.

This PDF presents a new Arcane Background based on the No Power Points rule using themes as trappings, and 15 crystals of various Ranks (appearing before in the Crystal Heart RPG).
