How did you obtain a copy of Stonetop? Is the kickstarter done? I'm not sure how purchasing it works, and the stuff I found on his blogspot doesnt have a Would Be Hero playbook that I could find

I just finished reading this, and I'm _super_ excited about it! The premise is great, the character compelling. It reminds me a bit of the "choice of games" (https://www.choiceofgames.com/) choose your own adventure novels where they tracked your stats, made background calls based on them, etc. The NPCs sound really compelling, and so are "questions" you're setting up. I had to stop reading and jot down an idea or two every few paragraphs 😅! hype!

Upon revisiting... i just noticed this snippet regarding Owain: "He pulls his weight hard for the village, tending the fields, drilling with the militia, and beating up malingerers."

So I wonder, if something that he addressed prior would now fall into other folks responsibility and cause some smaller troubles.

This is a phenomenal introduction and session zero - to someone new to fiction APs this explained everything perfectly - and is laid out exactly how I enivisaged it should be. I can't wait to read more of this story.

How do you decide on which playbooks to use for this campaign?

I just read some of the Kickstarter page for Stonetop, and I was surprised to find it has a bit more combat-stuff than I'd imagined. A proper monster list and everything. Feels more ironsworn than I thought, too.
