«Questions as Flashback Tech»
In preparation for my #Stonetop #ttprg session, I wrote several questions to walk through a flashback sequence. I felt it was a rewarding experience keeping the story in the present, yet giving access to the past actions.

TFW you're uncovering a pile of character sheets and find your Stonetop character from ca. 2022....
Meredith was the local tavern keeper. She'd lost her arm in a fight a long time ago, and lived in a little utility room in the tavern. Her Crew were basically the roustabout "regulars" who came in for a rowdy pint every night.
I remember playing her, but had completely forgotten it was a #stonetop game. And I don't remember who I played with, just that it was online.

Wednesday they made characters and we did Session 0 question and Answer. Today they'll go on their first adventure away from the eponymous #Stonetop
My primary prep is done, with questions, hook, and a few situations.
I have secondary prep to consider but that is simply am added bonus.
Excited to be playing a #ttrpg #RPG face to face for the first time in years.

I just do not get to sleep today, woo. Too much night sweats.
Twin and husband made characters last night for #Stonetop and so we have Blodwin a vessel Blessed based on the Bad Durrenberg shaman, and Durin an antiquarian Seeker with huge hunk of never melting ice.
The shaman has goats. Menaces!

So playing #Stonetop and we have Blodwin, a Blessed Vessel and Durin an Antiquarian Seeker. Yay!

The latest #stonetop #ttrpg #review from Quinns' Quest is really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH5-uQj4uOA
"The fantasy RPG about living (not killing)"
It emphasizes all of the #community themes I've been missing in so many other games, especially #solarpunk ones:
- How deep the caring-for-community mechanics can be
- How much more human than just base-building
- How EVERYTHING your characters do is reflected through the lens of that community they're doing it for -

I’ve lost count of how long I’ve been raving about the #TTRPG gem #Stonetop. I’m delighted that this #game is getting more attention and reaching a wider audience?! In my opinion, the hype in this case is, for once, more than deserved! The previews were already very intriguing! Get it!

Ich hab hier schon mehrfach davon erzählt, wie großartig #Stonetop ist.
Jetzt bekomme ich Rückendeckung von Quinns:

You can now buy Stonetop!
https://spoutinglore.blogspot.com/2026/04/stonetop-now-available-for-purchase.html
"Stonetop is a “hearth fantasy” tabletop RPG set in an Iron Age that never was. The players portray the heroes of an isolated village near the edge of the known world. Their adventures focus on dealing with threats to the village and seizing opportunities. These aren’t rootless mercenaries seeking fortune and glory; they’re exceptional people, taking risks on behalf of their friends, family, and neighbors."

Cool article on Stonetop and its long journey.
I’m really looking forward to digging into these books.

Been slowly reading Stonetop. It’s kind of fascinating. I think it’s the first PbtA game I’ve read that’s so very integrated to a specific setting.
I know there are a few others that are built on franchises (Root, Avatar), but Stonetop you are in a specific village. There’s a whole second book about the setting. The village has its own sheet and moves.
It’s really quite interesting.

Once again, #Stonetop: Can someone please show me a #TTRPG – specifically an #OSR / #DND – book that has such cool, inspiring Minor & Major Arcana ( aka #magicitems )? Even when skimming through them, I want to adapt them for every #fantasy #ttrpg, they’re so much cooler than your +5 Unholy Avenger.

The PDFs for the #Stonetop #ttrpg dropped yesterday(?).
The books look amazing! It's been a long while since I last checked on their progress and they have expanded so far in the interim. So much great practical advice for, and examples of, running a fantasy role playing game using the Powered by the Apocalypse (#PbtA) engine.
I'm sure I'll use a lot of the toolkits for world building and adventure prep in other games. It's just so thorough and well presented.
Excited for the physical books!

To be honest, at times I doubted that #Stonetop would ever be completed. The material that was repeatedly made available was full of love for the #TTRPG hobby, and the community-centred #IronAge #Fantasy really appeals to me. It's about more than killing monsters, grabbing treasure and levelling up!

Signs and wonders are happening! #Stonetop, one of, no, if not my favourite #TTRPG crowdfunding project of recent years, is approaching the finish line, and the complete PDFs have been made available. #IronAge #Fantasy, which reminds me of #Runequest, but is based on #PBTA and offers numerous ideas.
-
#Stonetop: Interesting approach, but I don't think it’s particularly comparable to #DnD / #Dungeonworld. Sure, some elements are similar, but imo it's essentially about a community, which makes it closer to #ttrpg like #Runequest or #ArsMagica. The worldbuilding and ideas provided are great. Enjoy

#Stonetop In my opinion, one of the most if not the most interesting #fantasy #ttrpg in years is coming finally. The last version is saw was beautiful. It’s a wonderful world … It’s so inspiring. #pbta

Je suis beaucoup plus tentée par Stonetop (stonetop.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders) un pbta de fantasy autour du village des PJ. Mon seul frein est qu'apparemment c'est pour de longues campagnes. Mais je pense le prendre quand même. Et puis Legend of the Mist me tente aussi. Bref, des envies de fantasy en ce moment.

I just chatted with Jason Lutes, publisher of Stonetop, who let me know that he will close pre-orders on January 9. So if you want to order the physical books, now is your best chance: https://stonetop.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders - I've followed this since it was in beta, and this is now more like a polished second edition than a first edition. #PbtA #TTRPG #Stonetop

#TTRPG #Stonetop is a fantastic beast! Even the #workisprogress is stunning. #PbtA

#Stonetop is a bit like Beethoven's unfinished 10th symphony, the #fantasy #pbtA #ttrpg may never be finished?! I'm still happy about every little update, but perhaps one of the coolest #ttrpg of recent years. The ideas, tone and dedication are captivating! www.kickstarter.com/projects/173...

I'm interested in this organic way of forging a session with players. Making deeper connections at the start of a game with every player in order to make a realistic feeling Iron Age village type situation. Where everyone works together in order to survive. Such a cool system to use...

I really want to play #stonetop. I also have a rule of not reading the PDF of a book I got a physical copy of until I got the physical copy
Unfortunately the game doesn't seem quite the style that my usual PbtA/FitD group is into

@SteveTassie I am looking forward to #Starforged. After that I have #Stonetop, but there is no ETA on that one. The main designer had a heart attack last year, so it has seriously slowed things down. From the previews, it is going to be great... just need patience.
