Thanks! Franky, I think there’s already more than enough grimdark misery-porn in the OSR. What the world needs now is more wonder and enchantment. As for the stat-blocks, I’m still experimenting to find the mostly widely compatible format. I think I’ve almost got it. For now, at least. And proper comma usage perhaps the most hotly contested area of English style. But you’re probably right about the the ones in question being unnecessary. But I’m going to keep them, just so readers can understand your point!

The write-ups evoke a genuine high fantasy atmosphere, wondrous and bucolic; something which I find to be in puzzlingly short supply these days.

The stat blocks are a little wordy, but I know you’ve been trying to make them more transparent for conversion (plus I guess dragons have always been among the wordiest in all editions because of their abilities).

One final note, because I can’t help myself: the commas after “potions” (in both treasure sections) are superfluous.
