The Buntline Special

So, I went searching for Mike Resnick books online just a few minutes ago, and came across this enticing looking book:

If you ask me, Steampunk + Wild West = Fantasmic! If you weren't already invested in developing Zeitgeist, I'd recommend this as a choice, by the cover alone. ;D

It is an interesting book. Resnick seems to have chosen to allow himself to be somewhat constrained by history, and that does get a bit in the way of his storytelling. But it sure gave me fodder for my Deadlands game - it is a fine source for inspiration.
 



Mmmmm. :)

Yeah, there are so many fonts that I would buy, if only I had the money to burn. (Bad sign when you are looking at '5 for $199' and feeling tempted.)

Manfred Klein would get a big chunk of my money too. :) (His site used to have an English mirror - he is the man who created the blackletter Schoensperger font, oh, so atmospheric, oh, so very hard to read. Fraktur, also by Klein, is a similar but free font. He does both free and pay fonts, and got his start in the days of hot lead typing. :) )

The Auld Grump, who used to work with a Linotype machine....

*EDIT* Gah! When looking at the fonts I suddenly realized that I knew what a nailhead font was... when the heck did I learn that?
