It's not every day I have an excuse for a subject line like that. Of all the recent unlicensed commercial uses of Cumberland fonts (the Twix commercials,...
As a fun followup to the prior post: Sandra and I had a blast tonight as guests of the roller derby, who traded us access to the VIP door in exchange for...

A font web site has named the Cumberland Fontworks as a favorite: http://www.fontriver.com/award/ ... Which is the sort of thing I suppose I'm supposed to...
This isn't a review, just a kind of annotated heads-up ;) I got my copy of Mark Galeotti's "Mythic Russia" RPG the other day, and of course (since I've been...
Okay, so it's a font. At least it's a font that took a bit of elbow grease :) http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/freestuff.htm Haven't the foggiest idea why anyone...
An unlikely new freebie at the top of the Free Stuff of the Moment Page: http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/freestuff.htm See? This is the kind of madness we get...
I've uploaded an improved version of the evil ham game, with better responses, more smells and a smoother implementation of the locked refrigerator. I love...
I spotted another Cumberland font the other day, this time at Wendy’s on a tray insert advertising their fast-food by way of a foster-parent charity. The...
I got a question in email that I figured I'd answer here on the list, since some other folks may be wondering the same thing. The question boils down to: When...
I don't bother posting about every time I spot an unlicensed use of [font] Dirty Headline, because there's just too much. But here I am posting about it again...
I know I deserve it, but ... :) My recent email to the fire-eaters hit a lot of (nearly 50%!) bouncing email addresses (which, naturally, is what I get when I...
The current Blue Desk update covers a top of (possible) general Cumberland interest: http://www.io.com/~sjohn/blueroom.htm And here's a paste for your...
I make the odd post now and then about font-spotting (less as it becomes more ubiquitous - spotted three more in the last five days and I'm rapidly reaching...
We're moving to Denver, Colorado, at the end of the month (voon!), so I'll soon be putting placeholders up where the PayPal and direct-mail ordering pages are...
We're snipping off our local Net access right now, so for the next week or so I'll be slow in answering emails. I'll still respond to customer inquiries/tech...
It's been a couple of years since I posted the first Heirany font, "Heirany Bold-Marker," and it's much leaner sibling is now on the Free Stuff of the Moment...
The PDF I call "Spider Meat" is a hybrid article/extended adventure seed for use with Uresia: Grave of Heaven, but it can be easily adapted to any fantasy game...
The "Ham House" text-adventure micro-game will likely fall off the Free Stuff of the Moment page soon, so I did one last update to the file. This new version...
The next release for Encounter Critical (mid-December if all goes well) is an old-school text adventure (z-machine format) plucked from an alternate 1979,...
Okay, it's probably not wise for me to start getting Encounter Critical confused with SPARKS: Justice City, but the good news is that I've got a jam-packed and...
A couple of weeks ago, a customer emailed reporting trouble ordering from HyperBooks ... the trouble being, HyperBooks wasn't there. I assumed it was just a...
In reference to my earlier post: HyperBooks is officially closed (as of a few weeks ago), but Terry is okay. So, on balance, a far better scenario than I had...
As per usual, I've been avoiding doing the font-spotting posts unless something interesting comes up ... right now Cumberland fonts are plastered all over...
Up tonight on the Free Stuff of the Moment Page: http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/freestuff.htm Another font in my growing library of goofy hand-drawn Roman fonts...
Hiya, folks! I've got two changes to announce, followed by Stuff. === TWO CHANGES First, the Cumberland Fontworks pages have just undergone a _major_...
