Jeremy

Thanks to all the folks in the Dungeon World Tavern back on G+, where this version of Stonetop was born. And thanks to the playtesters, backers, and folks who pre-ordered.

Your feedback has been invaluable. Your patience and support have been humbling.

Big thanks to the folks in my home games: Aubs Johnson, Brian Gratrix, Christian

Herro, Josh Geurink, Josh Whelan, Kat White, Michael Donnelly, Priti Srivastava, Ryan

Engel, Ryan Hansen, Ryan McDonald, and Sterling Lynk.

Enormous gratitude to Jason and Lucie for bringing this thing to life. To Luke Jordan, some rando on the internet who became a mentor and a friend. And to my mom, Patricia, for teaching me to dream.

Extra special thanks to Hobbes, Breaker of Chains, my personal Would-be Hero. I did it, Hobbes. I finished my damn game.

And of course: thank you, Angel, my love. For everything. My heart is bound to yours.

Lucie

I would like to thank our backers for their patience and support, and for making this book a reality.

My mentors and teachers from the Gottferdom Studio, for teaching me all about illustrating fantasy.

My mum and dad, for a childhood spent reading, and for bookshelves that touched the ceiling.

Most importantly, I would like to thank Jeremy and Jason for finding me, and for inviting me to be part of this extraordinary adventure.

Jason

Thanks to Jeremy, for accepting my invitation to turn his unique vision into a standalone game; to Lucie, whose beautiful drawings imbue these books with warmth and life; to JP Coovert, for being awesome; to Tony Vasinda and Richard Ruane, for their vital expertise; to Quintin Smith, for taking note of our labors; and to our backers, who stuck with us through thick and thin. Much like the village itself, this project would not exist without the enthusiasm, faith, and good will of the entire Stonetop community.
