COLIN!!! As always, this is FREAKING DOPE!
Thanks Matt!
This may be an obvious question, but since this is converted & updated for Cairn, would it also work for Runecairn?
You can use it for Runecairn with some minor changes:
The setting era will be a little off, but it should still work.
Will work for We Deal in Lead as well!
