Don't you know that the same way it shows text can be used to show a picture? What if part of the picture is to be a letter? A font, if you will.

From "Angroshs Kinder" Das schwarze Auge Zwergenhandbuch - (Angrosh Children, the dark eye, german pen&paper, dwarven handbook):
"Elves!? Their men dont wear beards, and their women bathe nacked to lure you into the water and drown you. Thank Angrosh they are as ugly as the day and all big and skinny."

In all honesty these light up shirts and puppy leather mugs are impractical at best. If we do want a store up and running, we need something plausible, like tshirts/sweaters.

I don't post here often, but here goes:

Don't underestimate the fundraising value of speciality items. With concerted effort by one or two individuals with a special hobby or skill, a few well made items can fetch a good price from folks who not only identify with the item, but the cause thats selling the item.

While I'm actually against doing -anything- that would drag ToadyOne from coding and building more to this wonderful game, I would say that if anyone else were to set up something in his stead on a purely voluntary term it could really go a long way toward helping Bay12Games be self sustaining.

If you need help understanding what I mean, consider when a monestary sells wine or a college holds a banquet. In the end the product doesn't tend to be worth much at all. Usually a $15 dollar bottle of unaged wine or a dinner that reminds you of highschool cafeteria food. But the result actually holds both sentimental value and practice to the person paying th extra price.

Just so we're clear. I -would- pay a bit more to own a clever DF shirt. Preferably the catsplosion mushroom cloud or maybe something along the lines of:

"The EU.... the most terrifying thing imaginable"

and on the back it says:

"Down with the Elephant-Unicorn alliance!"

No. The avatar is still there. Why do you use GW Green Stuff?

I think we should wait a few years before having walking advertisements. Attract people too early, they don't like how it is, they hesitate to come back.

Why do you use GW Green Stuff?

no real reason, s'just the thing ive always used. mostly ive not done any modelling of full figures, mostly just appendages and weapons and things...

lost or given away the things ive done though.

BTW, are you suggesting there is a better medium?
