Dungeon23 – 034 Ruby Base Level 26 Key 1
Level 26 is accomodation for the workers.
GM: Key 1 is storage for assorted gear, bulk old clothes, game things, cleaning supplies. Henchmen & Hirelines.
Mokuy – Terra Australis
This is Australia as known circa 1800 – there is the colony at Port Jackson/Sydney and up the Hawkesbury River to Coal River/Newcastle.
Van Diemen’s Land also had British settlers in 1803. Unfortunately, a Ruby time travel destructive side effect put paid to that. The coastline mapped, but the continent is just a big hexcrawl at this time.

The Randomnomicon and making random OSR rulesets
Thanks to a post by Jens D https://the-disoriented-ranger.blogspot.com/2023/01/lots-of-ducks-no-row-and-gallery-of.html I noticed mention of a game being designed called the above, which sounds like fun.
Last month Marcia at Traverse Fantasy did some cluster analysis of OSR type rulesets.
People asked about where others fit in.
Idle thought is that with CC and other open licensed games – those that are adjacent you could slice up into the relevant sections – and randomly roll for each.
A function could even feed the classification into Marcia’s breakdown of rulesets as above to get ‘synthetic’ data for said clusters.
