SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Could these two games be used in conjunction? Do they sinergize, or complement each other, well?

I havent read Other Dust yet but Ive heard it promotes sandbox gaming, just like AW. Does it means I could use one tools and ideas with the other and vice-versa ?

You just can't help being a douche about it, can you?
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

No clue. I'm only familiar with Other Dust.

Can you bolt AW features on to any other OSR-style, d20-based Rpg?

Yup, sure. Its tools are system-neutral. On the Other Dust side, Ive read it has lots of inspirational tables for various situations, right ?

And I just remembered that Barbarians of the Aftermath has a apocalypse generation phase, with lots of ideas to create your apoc (biological, atomic, alien, ecological, etc). It could be a good resource too.

Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

Yep, there's a lot of great sandboxing advice, and plenty of tables to spark your imagination when it comes to setting up Enclaves, Ruins, styles of adventures, etc.
