Narrative Nexus for Stonetop tables

Stonetop is a PbtA village-fantasy game about steadings, homefronts, and the frontier between adventures. Nexus gives it a free toolkit built for its own moves and stats, and every AI feature that can touch the game's text is switched off.

Free tools that already understand Stonetop

DM screen

A modular grid — initiative, dice, notes, monster reference — arranged your way. No signup.

Character sheet

Stonetop's own stats and moves, not a generic d20 sheet.

Dice roller

Standard notation, works for 2d6+mod the way PbtA expects.

The compendium

Over 1,300 Stonetop entries — monsters, moves, playbooks, and locations — free to browse at /compendium/stonetop, licensed under the game's own CC-BY-SA 4.0 terms with attribution shown on every entry. Most tables still run the game from the book itself, or the community Foundry VTT module — the compendium here is a quick lookup alongside those, not a replacement for either.

AI is off for Stonetop, across the board

Every AI feature that can touch Stonetop's text is switched off — not hidden behind a setting, stopped in the backend at the point where text would otherwise leave our servers. That's a rights-holder decision we honor, not ours to override. The full list of what's switched and why is on our policy for creators; our wider AI commitments — no training on your campaign, a product that works with AI off entirely — are on the AI page.

Bring your table

The free tier tracks a Stonetop campaign's steadings, NPCs, and session history alongside the tools above. See the free tier — no card required to start.

Frequently asked questions

What does Narrative Nexus do for a Stonetop table?
A free dice roller, a modular DM screen, and a character sheet sandbox that all understand Stonetop's own moves and stats, plus a compendium of the game's monsters, moves, and playbooks you can look up mid-session instead of flipping the book. Full campaign tracking — steadings, homefronts, session memory — is behind a free account.
Is the Stonetop compendium free to browse?
Yes. No account or signup is required to read any Stonetop compendium entry.
Does Narrative Nexus use AI on Stonetop content?
No. Every AI feature that can touch Stonetop's text is switched off across the board, enforced in the backend rather than hidden behind a UI toggle — see our policy for creators.
I already run Stonetop from the book or a Foundry module. Why would I need this?
You don't need it — the book and the community Foundry module are the reference most tables already use, and this doesn't replace either. Nexus is prep and play tracking alongside whatever you already run at the table: session notes, NPCs, plot threads, and a quick compendium lookup that doesn't require opening a PDF.
Do I need an account to try the tools?
No. The dice roller, DM screen, and character sheet sandboxes all run signed out, ruleset-aware, with no signup. An account is only useful once you want a Stonetop campaign tracked and synced.
