This is just... beautiful. I've spent good money on significantly smaller documents. The layout is excellent, and the amount of content is ridiculous for the page count. I love the tables and procedures included. The Knave and Maze Rats influences on these areas are obvious, and that's not a complaint. The occupation system doubling as race or class replacement is great, Worlds Without Number if I'm not mistaken? Overall, I've wanted to put together my own OSR solo book for a while that fits my tastes and I think you've just done it for me. I may have to print it off in A5 size.
Thank you for the kind words! I hadn't originally intended on making a full book, but it just blossomed into one over the course of a year or so. I'm primarily a solo player, so that's why there is so much focus on the random tables. Ideally i wanted a full system and oracle/adventure/item/creature generation that synergised with itself without needing to convert on the fly.
The result is a heavily modified combination of procedures and tables from various sources (including my own) that i have used for years with great success.. all in one place!
Oh, and the fact that the page count is divisible by 4 is no accident - you can print it as a booklet in Adobe and saddle stitch/staple to give you an A5 booklet.
When i get around to it, I am intending on adding a spread of example items after the treasure pages. Plus anything else that I think of that might be helpful.

Bookmarks would be nice.

I hope you get as much use out of it as I have :)
