The Wider World and Other Wonders (Stonetop, #2)

Jeremy Strandberg

0/5 ( ratings)

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.

Like most tabletop RPGs, Stonetop plays out as a conversation between the game master and the players, with dice being rolled at key moments to determine which direction the story goes. The game can be played in short runs of 2-4 sessions , but is best experienced over a dozen or more sessions.

Stonetop is “Powered by the Apocalypse,” using a system and framework similar to games like Apocalypse World, Monster of the Week, or Masks: a New Generation. It started as a setting guide for Dungeon World, but over 5 years of development and playtesting, it’s become a standalone game. Knowledge of Dungeon World may ease your entry into the game, but it's not a prerequisite for play.

This book includes:

- Hand-drawn maps depicting the village of Stonetop itself, its immediate surroundings, and the extent of the known world.

- An extensive setting almanac covering important regions, points of interest, neighboring settlements, creatures of the wild, and eerie remnants of past civilizations.

- A collection of unique magic items, each with special rules for unlocking its mysteries, powers, and dangers.
