I didn't get it because it has a reputation of being extremely crunchy. So maybe if you like that level of crunch you should probably get it. I hear the world building is pretty good.

Tabletop RPGs, online sadly. Hard to find people in my town who are up for some adventures with pen and paper. And copious amounts of dice.
I was involved for a short playtest of Stonetop, but wasn't impress with the mechanics of the game. It claims it is a game about your community but, once again, there is no real mechanics for it. Playing as the Judge (?!?) playbook the best social mechanic I had for a problem in the community was to declare it Anathema and hit it with the hammer for +1d6 damage..
I wish there was some more focus on the actual personal nteractions and community side. But it was my impression that is again a bait and switch game. It claims is about building a community but doesn't really offer much in regards to interacting with said community. My feeling for the intended gameplay was that it wants you to go into the forest, fight things, get loot and then spend it to buy something for the town. But that short last bit is not exactly a big part of the gameplay, so calling it the focus is a bit bait-and-switchy imo.
I know it, I've been watching them. But OSE is not quite right for me. So far I think the closer to what I want would be either AD&D2e or Hyperborea.
I am personally keep thinking about The Halls of Arden Vul, seems like an awesome thing to run. But I have to admit it's a bit intimidating due to size and complexity and I can't, for the life of me, decide what system to run it with. But it's been there brewing at the back of my head for almost two years now..
Butter and jam is my topic of choice as well, but I miss my mom’s homemade jam :(

Crumpets and tea for all!!
Play Unsafe is one of the best books on rpg advice for both GMs and players in my opinion. A short read but it's a great guide.
Swords of the Serpentine is a great game. I hope I will get a chance to play it this year. Hopefully it wins some prizes. :)
