This week I'm joined by 2 parts of the creative team behind Duginthroat Divided, which is an adventure location designed for Old School Essentials. It's a modular, drop-in location for lots and lots of old-school adventuring fun, and would easily port to any OSR system of your choice! It's currently on Kickstarter, though if you're coming to this later, it will release in the usual places as well!
