Premise

Everyone should buy in to the game's core premise: PCs are the heroes of an isolated village in a fantasy iron age. They have roots in the village and care about its inhabitants. Adventures involve defending the village from threats or seizing opportunities for their home.

If you want to play rootless wanderers in search of fortune and glory, this isn't the game for you. Maybe try Freebooters on the Frontier instead.

Stonetop comes with a setting. There are plenty of blanks for you and your group to fill in during play, but if you want to change the setting's core assumptions, you'll need to do a fair bit of work.
