One Child's Heart Pre-Order Store

Created by Camdon Wright

This is your opportunity to pre-order the game One Child's Heart! Books, dice, tokens, and PDFs are all available. There are pivotal moments in every child’s life that shape who they become. One Child’s Heart is a tabletop roleplaying game that invites players to take the role of child welfare professionals participating in a new mental health care memory exploration experiment. The Central Limbic Engagement Recovery System (CLERS – pronounced, “clears”) brings characters into the memories of these key moments to give support and guidance to a child who needs both. Professionals help create connections and teach resilience to children who desperately need someone to care about them. The heart of this game centers on the power of a conversation. People that have a willingness to reach out to another human being in need have the power to effect real change. In this game, as in life, connections start by being brave and having a conversation. That can begin by simply asking, “Are you OK?” During the Memories, the Professionals interact with the child through conversation, finding ways to get the child to open up and hear the support the professionals are offering. The Professionals walk into the middle of a memory that they don’t have any context for, especially at the beginning of the game. They need to move beyond the surface of what’s happening to discover why the experience is so impactful to the Child find a way to build trust and get them to open up before the memory ends.

The Deck of Memories
over 3 years ago – Thu, Dec 31, 2020 at 03:51:10 AM

Happy New Year, friends!

We hope you had a healthy and safe holiday season! We took a short break over the holidays while we waited for the Deck of Memories proof to arrive and have been spending time with our loved ones.

Excitedly, the Deck of Memories arrived a few days ago and is ready to go home to you! This deck has all of the memories from One Child’s Heart and The Book of Memories. It’s a delightful companion to go with the game, offering an easy way to have the memories on hand and easy to access.

All Backers at the Memory level or higher will receive their at-cost coupon for Drivethrurpg to order their set.

If you didn’t back at the Memory level and want the cards, you can purchase them from Drivethrurpg here!

Thank you once again for being such amazing supporters of this project. We’re excited to release the final part of the project and see all of One Child’s Heart out in the world!

All our love,
Camdon & the Team

Deck of Memories Update!
over 3 years ago – Sat, Dec 12, 2020 at 10:30:12 AM

Hey everyone!

We hope you're staying safe and healthy as we move into the final stretch of 2020! We're staying home, keeping warm, and working on wrapping up One Child's Heart! 

The Deck of Memories is currently laid out and complete. A proof has been ordered from Drivethrucards for our approval. Of course, this is where we wait. The cards are somewhere between being printed and shipped to us. Once we have them, we will spot and correct any issues (which will require we upload new files and start the printing/shipping over again) or if we're very lucky, we will have done everything right and they will be ready to go!

Either way, we'll update you as soon as we know one way or another once the proof deck is in our hands.

Until then, we hope you have an amazing December, Happiest of Holidays, and remember to be good to each other and yourself.

All our love,

Camdon & The Team

The Book of Memories Goes Live!
over 3 years ago – Wed, Nov 04, 2020 at 02:52:28 PM

Hey everyone!

We hope you're doing as well as you can and are staying safe and healthy!

After many printing shenanigans, we're finally putting up the Book of Memories for sale on Drivethrurpg! During the campaign, the Book of Memories was a stretch goal we never reached, but knew we wanted once we saw how many incredible memories we had. We're excited to deliver this to you and hope you find the book as beautiful as we do.

All backers have received a PDF for the Book of Memories. If you would like to pick it up in print, please check it out on Drivethrurpg!  

Thank you for your ongoing support as we knock the last of the stretch goals for One Child's Heart!

All our love,

Camdon & the Team

October Update
over 3 years ago – Mon, Oct 26, 2020 at 10:26:45 PM

Hey everyone!

We hope you're staying safe and healthy in these tumultuous times! We're working at hard at getting the last of One Child's Heart out the door to you! Here are some updates on where everything is at!

The Book of Memories

We're waiting on our last round of samples from Drivethru. The mail is incredibly slow so the process has taken longer than we anticipated. Once proofs come, and everything looks good, we'll be good to make it available to you as Print on Demand!

The Deck of Memories

Miguel is hard at work creating the final card layouts and the tuck box to put them in. Once those are done, we'll be uploading them to Drivethru. From there, we wait for samples. Once samples are received and approved,  we hit go and send those of you that backed at the Memory pledge level or above an at cost Print on Demand code! They will be available for purchase for all as soon as it goes live.

Thank you for your patience and your kindness as we finish off these last stretch goals and bonus content! Soon as we have news, we'll post another update!

All our love,

Camdon & the Team
