Anyone played Stonetop?
I heard about Stonetop from the GM of my old Pathfinder 2e game and just finished watching the 90 min Quinn's Quest review of it and holy smokes it sounds amazing - really similar to the WBN (WWW specifically) ethos but manifested in both a system and setting: prioritizing people vs power fantasy, having mechanics that matter in story terms, and rooted in relationships (fighting for something vs just fighting something).
Some of the things the system does explicitly are also things I've seen Brennan do in WBN (especially the interludes), like asking players for details about the world - Stonetop apparently has this built in as a mechanic to not just involve players in co-creating the world, but also as a sneaky way to introduce lore w/o having to exposition dump on players.
Anyway, I thought I'd share as it seems like a system and setting that WBN enjoyers would really enjoy. I'm getting very tempted to buy the books despite not really having a group that I know would play this just because it sounds so gosh darn amazing.
