Discussion Questions What do you think about Stonetop ? What do you think about it as "a textbook for running games"? As a GM, do you find yourselves having a preference for pre-existing settings, setting created at the table, an original setting created by the GM alone, or something else? Do you find yourself moving between these modes? Or just sticking to one? Do you have a particularly memorable experience with one of these modes? Do you have a favorite question that you've asked as a GM or that you've been asked? What's the best pitch you've ever seen from a game (that wasn't an IP or a sequel)? What about it got you excited enough to run it? Was it very different from your usual thing or in the same wheelhouse? What game has made you feel most supported when it comes to improvising? How did it do that?
