Finally got that puppy up :) I'm pretty pleased with it; let me know if you
are, too. http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/freefont.htm

Also, while I have your attention, please download the free sample version
of Beyond the Storm http://www.lulu.com/content/168212

... and see if it strikes your fancy. It is (to quote myself from the Blue
Room) a Hurricane Katrina relief project I played a part in. The book
weaves through and around the edges of a number of New Orleans-inspired
themes … There's voodoo and swamps and food and jazz and all the things you
might expect, in a number of forms you might not. There's funny stuff and
reflective stuff; stuff by veterans and stuff by newcomers; science-fiction
stuff and fantasy stuff. There are essays and poetry and stories; there's a
Shadowrun adventure; there's some new Champions/Mutants & Masterminds
material (from Scott Bennie, no less), and even a some short-subject RPGs
(including one about food-service by Mischa Krilov, an indie designer
displaced from New Orleans and relocated here to Austin, where I've
introduced him to some of the best enchiladas this end of town). One of the
book's standout features is certainly the Shambling Tour of New Orleans by
Vicky Picker, serving up the Big Easy from the zombie perspective (read it
with the Kingston Trio version of "Zombie Jamboree" playing in the background).

My own contribution is a fragment of heaven's grave in
adventure/setting/something-or-other form called Spider Meat. It's about a
roguish Stew God's romance, and the High Dreamer's secrets, and a swamp
witch and gumbo and gators and dancing and shouting and the kind of secrets
that lie in a place called the "Black Bayou," at the southernmost edge of
the civilized world. It's game-writing with its hair down, so I'm pretty
pleased with it; grab it and GM it for some friends. I was tempted, for a
fleeting moment, to write a historical piece about Huey Long for Fly From
Evil, but considering that FFE still doesn't have a release date, I figured
that'd qualify as an evil tease well worth flying from. Still … one of
these days, I do need to write about Huey Long ...
