Last week my beloved iMac stopped working for good. It's been more than a decade of a fantastic relationship, but now I have to accept the fact that it won't be with me anymore... With that in mind, I've collected  these vintage Mac icons, most (maybe all) made by the great Susan Kare in the best 80's. Curiously, you will see that many of them have remained until today with very few modifications, but others (that dot matrix printer, those faxes, those floppy disks...) have definitely passed into the History. I remember with particular displeasure the d***  Bomb, which appeared unexpectedly  when the computer crashed -too frecuently- and you then lost all the work not saved manually. Freaky old times. My favourite character still being Clarus, the dogcow (at the Z, of course). Hope you like them.

dice based cypher made from 2d6 sets for each letter~

the key is attached as the sample; the letters shown there correspond to the letters typed out in lowercase as default. As upper case the colors of the dice are flipped but the order of the numbers is the same for each letter.

Additional notation that cannot be specified in a single character (usually post-game review):

!! – brilliant move

! – good move

? – bad move

?? – terrible move

!? – unusual move

?! – dubious move

A font resting on some columns. This was a doodle that became an experiment, so there was a lot of iterating.

I made the columns wide enough for a variety of different designs to be able to stand on them, so feel free to clone this and try your own!

I add new art to this whenever I get more ideas. But I don't want the legend to be any longer than it is, so I leave the others for you to discover on your own.

By request, "a font where all the letters look like Mega Man capsules."

Military and wargame related icons. The 4 stars are meant to represent a player number. Erase the stars to make pieces for Players 1, 2, and 3.

Fontstruct's first vacuum tube font!

This is a design inspired by Nixie tubes. Since these "tubes" are iconographic, they could theoretically represent 12AX7s, 6L6s, KT88s, or whatever tube/valve you wanted. Feel free to clone and build on this concept.

The "gremoji" symbols used in Virtual Gremlin. These are spoken to the player by those Gremlins who are not intelligent enough to form words, and can be used to guage the Gremlins' moods.

Original size: 21pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A cipher/code used by the Kibble Cabal, a mostly animal-based team of misfits and food thieves in the game Trap Farmer Brer Brah. This code is very similar in application to the "Hobo Code" from the United States in the late 1800s. It makes a pretty good cipher, as well!

Creatures and Phantasy Insects

Donjon16: My take on a dungeon font. Create your layout with A-Z, move the caret to right after the room you want to edit, then type the letter for a trap, monster, and/or object and it will appear in that room. You can stack multiple smaller creatures or objects inside a room.

When one room's opening runs into another's wall, it makes a distinctive notch in the wall. I consider these to be closed or secret doors, but your design doesn't have to have them. :^)

Only the smaller monsters/items can fit into the corridors. However, you can fit up to three of the smaller monsters into a single corridor (5 if you use the 4-way corridor)!

This was actually designed to make minimap graphics for one of my games, and derives some inspiration from the maps in early Zelda games (The Legend of Zelda, The Adventure of Link, Link's Awakening, Link to the Past, etc.).

(These all have a negative spacing, so they must be typed AFTER the room you want to put them in.)

X = teleporter or Magic Stone

YZ = stairs up/down (They take up the entire room)

0123456789 = traps & hazards - spike trap, pit trap, ice trap, trapdoor trap, teleport trap, arrow/dart trap, etc. (They can overlap monsters; use some discretion)

abcde,fghij,klmn = small monsters - kobolds/goblins, humanoids/skeletons, slimes (They appear in a cross or X shaped grid, max 5 per room, 9 if you use them together)

opqr,stuv = medium monsters - skulls, bats/imps (They appear in corners, max 4 per room)

wxyz = big monsters - knight, dragon, serpent, big skull (They take up the entire room)

!@#$%^&*()[]{}\|<>?/:';" = equipment - weapons, armor, potions, maps/scrolls, runes, compass, and more (Usually takes up a whole room)

`~_=-+ = gold, gems, key, chests (Usually takes up a whole room)

- TIPS -

Make the dungeon layout first, THEN start adding things to it.

Better to have a treasure vault guarded by monsters in the next room than to try to cram them all into the same room. The same holds true with many traps.

If you use the floor number markers, you can have up to 23 floors in all - 7 below-ground and 16 above-ground.
