In general using only lowercase letters is standard. Typical *NIX silliness.

Looks good. A couple of minor corrections needed, though. The header of the "About OSRIC" page says "Liscense Page 1" and clicking "next" takes you to the 2nd liscense page skipping the actual 1st liscense page.

The description of ghouls leaves humans and humanoids out of the list of creatures that their touch paralyzes. I would suggest replacing the list with someting along the lines of, "The touch of a ghoul causes paralysis for 3d4 rounds in most living creatures, although elves, creatures that require magical weapons to be hit, and possibly a few others are immune to this effect."

I also recommend putting up a Links page that would have links to various OSRIC products and the publishers' web sites.

There is a broken link in the center section. It links to /osric/about.htm when I believe it should link to /osric/a1.htm .

I also notice that the OSRIC Open License refers to OSRIC as the "Oldschool System Reference and Index Compilation" when the OSRIC document itself refers to it as the "Old School Reference and Index Compilation". This can be seen on this page:

My fault.

I realised the "index" page contained far too much information, and all that tiny text could be offputting for a casual visitor, so I reduced it to bullet points and bunged all the details into an "about" page... which was an edited copy of another page... and forgot to update all the links when I renamed it.

I'll do some more fixing. :D

Speaking of updates, congrats on getting the SRD on RPGNow. That should really help it take off!

It aims to recreate 1e within the OGL
Is this language kosher? Do you want to say this on the site?

It's kosher. 1e is not a trademark claimed by anyone, and you are allowed to recreate rules. It would be best practice to say that it recreates the rules of 1e, but I don't think errors on that minimal a scale are a problem, really. Given WotC's recent exposure as an allegedly major copyright infringer, they wouldn't have the moral high ground arguing about minutiae. Mote in your brother's eye and beam in your own eye, and all that.

Hmmm, where can I find out more about this?

I have a write up about it on my Blog linked below.

But be warned. My blog sometimes has very strong language and even stronger opinion.
