This pdf contains five half-pages of game information, plus the requisite covers and OGL statement. As befits a product supporting the OSR, mechanical rules are few.
There are subjects including what to use dragon teeth, droppings, etc., just like the cover states. There is mention of the Lion & Dragon RPG, but the information herein can easily be used for any OSR game.
I rated the supplement at 4 stars because the information is great, and spawns several potential adventure ideas as the PCs bring the dragon's corpse back to civilization. The value is well worth the $1 I spent. There seem to be a couple items missing that I would love to hear the author's take on - dragon bones and organs, such as the eyes or the heart. Granted, using this product as a guideline can get me traction in that regard, but it seems like using a femur to craft a javelin could be covered, if only to say "dragon bones are actually unsuited for crafting, being highly porous and delicate once the magical life energy of the beast dissapates upon its death." Which as I write this makes total sense, and will likely be my explaination should it ever come up in a game.
I am very happy with this purchase; it is getting printed and placed into my "GM Notebook of Miscellany" because my players don't always kill dragons, but when they do I want to have an answer for "Hey, can we collect some of it's breath acid?"
