I mentioned this weekend I designed some T-shirts. It was done via cafepress, where I’ve created a few items with the Twenty Sided logo on them. I haven’t ordered gotten one myself yet, so I can’t vouch for the quality. I took the high-resolution (1280 x 256) version of the logo and put it on a shirt. Is that high enough to look good on an adult-sized shirt? I don’t know. If it isn’t, I’ll need to re-make it, since that’s the size of the original.
Once I get my hands on one and see how it looks up close I’ll have a better feel for how something like this works. I’ll probably come up with some other designs with DMotR quotes. If anyone has any specific requests for what they’d like to see, please leave a comment. My plan is just for pictures of dice and quotes, no actual comics.

Ever wondered what's in all those quest boxes you've never bothered to read? Get ready: They're more insane than you might expect.
The Truth About Piracy
What are publishers doing to fight piracy and why is it all wrong?
Grand Theft Auto Retrospective
This series began as a cheap little 2D overhead game and grew into the most profitable entertainment product ever made. I have a love / hate relationship with the series.
Borderlands Series
A look at the main Borderlands games. What works, what doesn't, and where the series can go from here.

The story of me. If you're looking for a picture of what it was like growing up in the seventies, then this is for you.
Nice designs, very tasteful.

” If I’m smiling, it must be Monday, Wednesday or Friday”
“Let’s rescue our dear friends, whose names currently escape me.”
“No, just a walking stick. And a quiver of little walking sticks.”
And, obviuosly, the classic:
“Help! My dice are trying to kill me.”
What?! I demand my “Twenty Sided” thong!
(Not really)
“Welcome Noble Champions. Feel free to sleep on our dirt.”
“Sometimes the worst thing you can give your players is what they want.”
“Me and my minus five hit points are just going to take a little nap”
How about a “twenty sided” dice bag?
Or a picture of the DM himself? ( on a mug)
Or the DM’S mom
or pencil skethches of favorite scenes with quote bubbles?
or posters

Looks like we joined Team Stupid
Are my keen ranger senses telling me we have to walk?
I’ve always been partial to “That is a very specific level of tired.”
Any quotes where Aragorn is coming on to Legolas.
I’ve got a cafepress shop with several items, and the shirts were very nice.
Looks very nice. The image was 810 x 1384, and turned out really sharp.
Ew. Cafepress. I’ve heard so many horror stories about them…
The comments here are definitely going to turn into a List-Your-Favorite-One-Liners from the comics.
Case in point:
“We need to think about changing sides.”
I’ve not heard great things about Cafepress, but if you have the opportunity, you’d do better to convert your graphics into vector format. They will look MUCH better in print than rasterized graphics will. If that isn’t an option your best bet is for it to be as BIG as it can be, particularly in DPI. 300+ would be best.
Oh, and if we’re listing favorite one-lines, mine is still:
“Tell me your name horsef—er!”
there’s just too many to list. I can’t wait! Good job Shamus!
I do like the ones listed here.. and would have to vote for :-
Looks like we joined Team stupid.. but also amongst my favourites were (had to look back for exact wording)…
Being Invisible isn’t as useful as you think when fighting a blind creature underwater with your bare hands
Da Penguin.
Darn. I recall reading about upcoming t-shirts in the original post, and today cruised back to unload some of my paypal credit. You deserve sponsorship for the laughs I get out of this series.
I’m sad there’s no comic prints though. I understand the resolution thing would be hard to overcome however. (not to mention the copyright).
:(
I was surprised to see the link still worked. Do you still get anything from this?
