I hope a quiet season will win! I’d enjoy this story regardless, but I’m also reading as another avenue to see Stonetop in action as prep for eventually bringing it to my own game table and I’d love to see some more of the homefront mechanics and play in action!
I agree, but what about Anwen's dad! He's just...out there? Her mom has been in prison for a winter just chillin', no way she's gonna let that lie another fiscal quarter. In this economy?! Also who doesn't want more Brennan?! Ugh so torn
Wow. Wonderful send off before the break. I've been a big fan of Stonetop since day 1, but its grown in body and depth overtime, and now is really coming into it's own as a work of art. The writing (pacing, characterization, and subtle, diegetic world building especially) is as-good-or-better than the novels I'm reading, and the weekly choices, the insight into the process, and the access to the author that this format grants puts the whole work over the edge into outright excellence. I plan on making some renewed overtures to folks I know to pick up PTFO over the break, perhaps this time with threats 🤔.
I've been wanting to say - and after such a strong conclusion this seems like the right time - thanks for this wonderful weekly game. PTFO: Stonetop is the longest continuous rpg I've been a part of in years, and I really appreciate the opportunity to experience it with you and my fellow fans (shoutout OGs Rex and Schnickers, especially 🖤).
As much as marshedge would be I think Anwens wish, her speech to the village emphasised protection, which means the crown at the delve, and her first chance to show duty over personal preference. Otherwise it might seem that she became marshal to get allies to get her mother back!
Perhaps the Elder Kirs has 'valuable insight' into some defensive mechanism, guardian or arcane ward that might make for a useful ambush that could be co-opted for the group's use, should some foe appear on the scene.
If all goes well, return back to Stonetop to consolidate matters around a Summer wedding. It'll give Vahid something to focus on that is within his ... idiom.
Solid conclusion to this arc!

That's a good point, mechanically.
Now THAT was satisfying. Also glad to see Cerys not an out and out villain. Great foreshadowing too.
Honour says Marshedge, but I'd dearly love to see Gordin's Delve and you to use some of Ironsworn Delve rules.
Aahhh! Choices! I say Gordin's Delve. The hdour threat is still the most significant and they need that crown.

" And if you want to go looking for your father one day, I’ll help you. I promise.” That's one way to try to nip a blood feud in the bud 😁 brava.
I voted for Marshedge, for what would a Stonetop series be without a trip to Marshedge that may take far longer than expected?
"Anwen’s warriors" Damn, this is one hell of a chapter end! 😭 my feelings!!
"Pad and his Companions" 🥹😭
As much as marshedge would be I think Anwens wish, her speech to the village emphasised protection, which means the crown at the delve, and her first chance to show duty over personal preference. Otherwise it might seem that she became marshal to get allies to get her mother back!
That's a great point. I am swayed!
I think, To the Delve!

Gosh, I would love to see Anwin and Orwins son reach out to find an old and changed Orwin, maybe he can have a redemption arc too :)
Also Certs is doing excellent work in giving plot opportunity. I like.
I would like to dip into the fen, as it is a more unexplored theme for me. It would also allow to give Anwen and Pad some closure on success.
Delve is more ... Needed for stone top so to say. And at least Anwen now has responsability beyond personal goals.
This blessing and make stuff in stovetop is also nice, but I guess we had our fair share of Homefront.
So my list is: Gordins, Quietly, Marshege
Another satisfying conclusion of an arc. I'm seeing a side of Cerys I didn't suspect, and the moment between Anwen and Owain's son was a lovely touch.
I voted for Gordin's Delve to introduce a new location, to see more of Pad's backstory come to the fore, and to move the hdour's reckoning closer.
God now to figure out how I'll vote 😅
