Add Hero Pins to your game to make keeping your health stats fun and easy for your whole party to see.

We’ve all been there: you’re playing an RPG at a convention, or your home table, and you’re in the middle of a battle. You’ve just taken a critical hit! How do you let your party know you’re in serious trouble without just saying, “I’m down to my last two hit points!”? How do you let them know without saying a word? It’s a battle, right?! They ought to see the gaping wound!

We created Hero Pins, the world’s first collectible health indicator pin, to stop metagaming so you can Stay in Your Game! With Hero Pins, you can look across the table and SEE how seriously wounded your comrades are. Stop talking about hit points or percentages!

Attach your Hero Pins to your shirt, your jacket, your hat, your bag, or even your convention badge holder. Then just turn the top face clockwise to reveal four stages of health. When your PC gets injured, everyone can see how bad it is—whether you’re using miniatures or theatre of the mind. All you have to do is look at each other!


We’re all excited to get back to the gaming table together, so make it special! Whether you are a player looking for a new way to bring your character to life, or a Game Master who wants to surprise your players with a great new tool to stay in your game, Hero Pins will put a new spin on your adventure!

You’re a serious gamer, so you honor your game. If you’re going to wear a health indicator pin, it has to look amazing. We want to produce works of art that you are going to love showing off. That’s why we reached out to leading artists, to legends, and to rising stars, asking them to create original art for these pins. We’re starting with the amazing Ron Spencer, whose work for the card game MTG is routinely counted among the best of the best.

Each pin design is unique, with a different “spin” on the Grim Reaper set against heroes of different classes. Each pin also features a reproduction of Ron’s initials that he incorporated into his design–because these aren’t just generic images; they are original works of art.
