History: The Ogham Script
July 22, 2010 | trask | Comments 1
I ran across a reference the other day to a very old type of Celtic writing called “Ogham.” It is a very unusual script and I thought it is a great way to make some game supplements with a very obscure character set. Best part is there is already a font set for it, so just download it and start typing away in Ogham! The site I got the example below from (Babelfonts) also has a plethora of other unusual character font sets, both fantastical and historical and well worth a browse.

I love ogham, which is why I wrote and published this d20 supplement a few years ago:
