Work continues on Stonetop, my "hearth-fantasy" adaptation of Dungeon World set in an iron age that never was, in which you portray the local heroes of a small, isolated village near the edge of the known world.

So, uh, this happened: As we mentioned a few times in the Kickstater updates, we've been absolutely blown away by the support and the enthusiasm.
