Into the Majestic Fantasy Realms: The Northern Marches

Sorry for any poor grammar and formatting, I am on my phone.

I find the setting very intriguing. In fact, I'm rather inclined to pick it up. However, there is no dearth of titles I find intriguing or interesting in the OSR space. So! Sell me on it! Tell me your experiences with it and whether it's worth purchasing and running for my table, which very much enjoys OSR play.

In particular, I as a GM find settings that set my imagination on fire for adventure and allow me to play with the ideas presented by the author to be particularly appetizing. Those that allow for varied styles of play and encourage the players to engage with the world, rather than being opaque in presentation, tickle my fancy. Strong thematic elements in a setting don't hurt either.

For reference, I am very fond of Wolves Upon the Coast, Mythic Bastionland, Dolmenwood, and so forth. I am looking for something slightly more generic to scratch that classic old-school feel without the preliminary effort necessary to build a region as vast as the Northern Marches myself. Working two jobs as I am won't allow me the energy to develop that myself.

Running RotRL for the First Time, Point Me to Your Best Resources

I'm sure posts like these have been done ad nauseam. I'm not looking for advice, however, I'm just looking for resources to find information you felt was most helpful to you to prep for this campaign; especially with the impending prospect of reading 400+ pages of tiny tiny text, I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into and what to keep an eye out for before I hit issues already found in other playthroughs.
