Merchandise
« on: November 02, 2010, 06:39:22 pm »

I would by the shit out of some good ol' Dwarf Fortress merchandise. I saw one site offering a couple items, but I don't know where the money was going. I didn't want to have people making money off this beautiful game that don't deserve it.

I'm sure by the time toady gets too old to program, DF will have reached a stage where as it is sentient enough to program itself.
It won't program itself, it'll be too busy taking breaks and attending parties to code.

Nope, there is nothing official being sold at all.
All of it goes to someone who is not toady.

If merchandising is as successful as it was five or six years ago, Toady should do it. All kinds of terrible webcomic authours made livings off of selling merchandise that people would be ashamed to wear. Nobody would be ashamed to wear a Dwarf Fortress T-Shirt.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

I don't want to fight that logic. But I would like some too. I mean, I have the capability to make my own shirts, but if I'm gonna support DF, I'd rather really support DF.

This is a platinum warhammer. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. it menaces with spikes of platinum.
there is an image of the goblin Utes Gozrusrozsnus and dwarves in elf bone. The goblin is making a plaintive gesture. the dwarves are striking a menacing pose.
this image relates to the slaying of Utes Gozrusroz

This make me want to fire up the heat press and make a plain black shirt with the words (humans do it in wooden structures, elves do it in the trees, dwarfs do it under ground ... with magma!
with the ASCII symbol for a dwarf on the back of the shirt.

Yeah, he should open up shop on CafePress or wherever and start selling t-shirts.  Especially if he could work with some of the people who have made great fan art...

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Only if he gave me permission and wanted me too. Otherwise, I'd just make them for myself.

Also, I love the line dwarfs do it with magma. I could do something along the lines of !!Dwarfs Do It With Magma!! in red with the back an actually dwarf fort map in ascii with lava flooding a fort.
