We are those blessed with Hearts. Our Hearts, capitalized, are tools we wield to change fate, to do the impossible, and to make the world our own. And our hearts, lowercase, our metaphorical hearts, our beating hearts, our emotional hearts. They’re not the same, but they are linked.

Our Hearts are many things. They are the legendary weapons we vanquish evil with, the giant mechs that fly us to the stars, the hidden powers we’ve found within ourselves, the shining charms let us become magical girls, the roaring engines propelling us across the country side, and so much more.

Burning Hearts Forever is a tabletop RPG built on the Apocalypse engine for creating stories in a wide array of different scenarios, each with a different definition of what a Heart is. The game focuses on the interpersonal relations between characters and can support games with either light or heavy tones.

The game features the following Playbooks:

• The Dreadnought, someone who will push themselves to their limits and beyond to achieve their higher than life goals.
• The Foesworn, someone who received their Heart from the enemy and has to deal with their influence.
• The Fool, who thrives under the spotlight, when all eyes are on them.
• The Frozen, who seeks solitude and excels at burning bridges.
• The Hero, inexperienced and carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders.
• The Lover, who gives their Heart to their true love.
• The Outsider, who made, or stole their Heart.
• The Storm, someone with immense power and little control over it.
• The Spider, who hoards others' secrets and uses them for their advantage.
• The Vampire, who carries a cursed Heart that feeds on their life force.
