Homebrew Content

Your table's own moves, gear, treasures, arcana, improvements, threats and sites can be made once as world items and then dragged where they belong. This page is mostly for GMs; players can make custom moves and arcana if the GM allows it.

The Create Item chooser

The Items sidebar's Create Item button opens a chooser instead of Foundry's plain form:

Group Choices
Move A custom move players can roll.
Steading Improvement An improvement for Stonetop, with requirements and effects.
Gear & Treasure Inventory Item; Treasure (GM only, hidden until handed over); Blank arcanum; Inspire me… (rolls Book II's artifact creation tables).
Dangers & Places Threat; Site; and the Things Below: A Thing Below, A corrupted site, A corrupted being, An emanation.

Each is saved once as a world item. Drag it onto the sheet or tab where it belongs: a move or item onto a character, an improvement onto the steading's Improvements tab, a threat onto the GM Toolkit's Threats & Dangers tab.

The Create Stonetop Content picker

Custom moves

A custom move can also be written straight onto a character: Create a move at the foot of the Moves tab. The editor has four sections:

  • The move: name and text, with ***bold italic*** style formatting;
  • Dice roll: which stat, and what each result does;
  • Resource track: circles the move tracks (hold, uses);
  • Bonuses & XP: what it adds and when it marks XP.

By default only the GM can add custom moves; turn off the world setting Custom Moves: GM Only to let players write their own. A threat's player move can be turned into a custom move with Give to players (see Threats and Hazards).

Treasures and inventory items

Inventory Item and Treasure use the same form as a character's Add item (column, weight, armor, tags, uses, Value), plus an image. A treasure adds a Write-up, a section on Identifying it, and Lands unidentified so the player sees only its name and ◇ until they work it out. Only the GM can see a treasure until it's dragged onto a character. See Arcana for GMs.

Improvements

The improvement builder lays out an improvement the way the book does: its requirements in groups, and its effects, some of which the system applies automatically (for example to Seasons Change). Drag the finished improvement onto the steading's Improvements tab.

Threats and sites

  • Threat opens the same guided write-up as the GM Toolkit's Write up a ... threat buttons.
  • Site runs the nine-step Creating Sites process.
  • The Things Below generators make a threat, a corrupted site, or a monster stat block. Closing one part way asks before throwing away your choices.

Homebrew threat ideas can be kept as cards in a GM-only journal and dragged onto the Threats tab when they come into play. See Threats and Hazards and Expeditions and Sites.

Arcana

See Arcana for GMs. Whether players can make their own is the world setting Arcana Creation: GM Only.
