Stonetop now available for purchase

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.

- from the Stonetop Kickstarter campaign 

I started posting about Stonetop on Google Plus back in 2014. My first playtest group started in 2016. We opened it up to public playtests in 2018. We Kickstarted in 2021. 

And now, finally, it's done. You can purchase it via Plus One Experience's storefront.

Purchasers get immediate access to the completed PDFs. As I type this, the books and slipcases are in transit to warehouses for distribution. We expect to start physical fulfillment near the end of May 2026. We expect to be fulfilling Kickstarter backers and preorders in late May and early June.  

I cannot fully express how happy I am to have this project done, or how proud I am of what we've made. Nor can I sufficiently express my gratitude for the folks that made this possible: Jason Lutes of Lampblack & Brimstone (publisher, editor, layout), Lucie Arnoux (illustrations), Tony Vasinda and Richard Rook at Plus One Experience (distribution), and the legion of playtesters, backers, supporters, and friends who kept me going.

The final game consists of two books, each of which is about 600 pages, digest sized (5.5" x 8.5", or roughly A5), heavily illustrated by Lucie Arnoux, and fully cross-referenced and indexed. It's available in both PDF (fully hyperlinked), with hard copies en route. As I said above, we expect to start physical fulfillment in late May to June of 2026.
