The Shield of the Wisent Witch was inspired by Hans Messersmith’s request and some of the great ideas the tavernites had for him.

The Codex is a #Stonetop -style spellbook. It’ll be one of the possible starting items for the Seeker, particularly for the Patriot background. The Patriot Seeker is a local of the town who has sensed the growing dangers in the world and sought out power from dangerous sources in order to protect their home.  I’m not sure that the Patriot’s possible artifacts will all be this dark. But definitely sinister.

Another stab at artifact cards for #Stonetop

Another stab at artifact cards for #Stonetop

Another stab at artifact cards for #Stonetop .  I found I was trying to cram too much into too little space, so I doubled the size of the cards.  That gave me space to make the consequences more elaborate and (IMO) flavorful.

As always, suggestions & feedback appreciated.

I’m thinking about making a whole deck of these, each with:

– a description

– a “learning to use it” power

– an “unlocked mysteries” move

– increasingly significant consequences for using it

The Seeker will start with 2-3 cards from the deck. One will be chosen based on their background, two will be picked randomly. They then choose 1 that’s secrets have been unlocked, 1 that they are still learning to use, and 1 that they do not actually possess but they know where to find it. 

The rest of the deck (or the whole thing, if no one plays the Seeker) will be out there for characters to discover in play.  

Thoughts & feedback appreciated.

This was actually the first playbook I made for Stonetop, and it was the proof-of-concept for a lot of the structures that appear in all the classes (the backgrounds, the additional setting questions on the back page, the increased flexibility in choosing moves). Not a whole lot has changed since the original, but I don’t think many folks took a close look (as it was buried in with the original teaser).

Bit of trivia (for those who care): this whole project stemmed from a long-running D&D 4e campaign. The Judge was a role that one of my players came up with to justify playing a paladin of Erathis. Some of the coolest details (IMO) come straight from that character: the Chronicle, the Legacy background, the ancient armor as symbol of authority, the juxtaposition of scholar & warrior.

Been way too long since I did any serious work on #Stonetop , but I’m hoping to get things rolling again.

Been way too long since I did any serious work on #Stonetop , but I’m hoping to get things rolling again. Here’s a revision of the Ranger. Feedback welcome and appreciated.

I had originally made my own world-specific expedition moves, but the ones in Jason Lutes’s The Perilous Wilds are so good, I scrapped mine and used his instead. Plus, I’d already done some work revising the core DW ranger to use those moves and the follower moves (it’s on the Lampblack & Brimstone community if you’re interested).

The other big revision is the way bonds are formatted and presented. I’ve always wanted the bonds to tie more directly into the Stonetop community and establish NPCs. I don’t know why I didn’t think of simply having them involve family before now. Sometimes I’m kinda slow.

Anyhow, I’ll be going back to do a pass at updating the bonds and moves for each of the playbooks in the next few weeks. Then, one last playbook to write (the Seeker, or bard/wizard analog).

Shortly thereafter, I’ll be looking for playtesters.

If you haven’t seen these before, Stonetop is a DW setting centered around a remote village. The PCs are the heroes of that village in a time of turmoil, adventuring to put down threats to their home and seize opportunities.

This is my take on a warlord-style class, one that leans pretty heavily on the Follower rules as well as the Steading Moves. You’ve got a lot of power in your crew, but the crew is part of Stonetop’s community and (hopefully) not just something you sacrifice willy-nilly.
