    1. I haven't delved into your archives yet but is all of your content designed with both OSR and SOTDL in mind? I'm a huge fan of both and have considered doing my own designing for both.

    2. It's mostly your usual OSR material, with GLOG and SOTDL stuff thrown in when I feel like it.

    3. Well if the word of a single reader has any impact whatsoever: I totally dig the combined method. SOTDL is awesome.

  2. I have no idea what Carvergirls are, but they certainly sound interesting. They kill Unicorns, you say?
