Dragon Roots Magazine DIDN'T sell the 4e Killed Gary shirts

[Ranger REG]

Sorry, I know that doesn't help that ass kicking.

Wouldn't help anyway since the perps and sympathizing group is on the mainland and I'm in Hawaii. I got less than five months to meet my quota of kicking someone's ass. Wish me luck.

This is why I shouldn't socialise with other human beings.

I'd be grinding my teeth trying to prevent myself from beating those people up.

That sort of stress just isn't healthy

 

[Hussar]

Man, that's just icky. Nothing like owning up to the gamer stereotype of knuckle dragging, mouth breathing social troglodytes. Gawd. Whoever these guys are, I hope they have at least a tiny shred of decency and feel bad about it.

Oh, come on!

When people wear t-shirts like that they're actually looking to start trouble. The best thing to do is just ignore them and let the problem take care of itself as they move on to cause trouble some other way somewhere else.

Let me guess... in the famed words of some comedian (whose name I can't remember at the moment)..

"Too soon?"

A little black humor doesn't kill anyone, unless the person who gets killed died laughing (or got murdered by a self-proclaimed defender of public taste who is in dire need of anger management). Next thing you know people will be taking offense at the "WoTC killed GLEEMAX" t-shirts or even worse the edition war starting "WoTC killed" t-shirt.

Wait -- you mean fantasizing extreme violence isn't the answer to every social conflict?

Y'know, you may have the absolute right to express yourself however you like.

I retain the right to think that people who use the death of a notable figure to express their distaste of an edition to be in incredibly poor taste.

 

[Henrix]

Oh, please, let us avoid the revenge porn, it leads nowhere. I'm certain Gary would not have liked it.


It would be nice to find out who made the shirts, though, to avoid buying from them by accident.

And I'm truly sorry to hear you've been implicated, DM-Rocco. I sincerely hope you get cleared in the minds of all gamers.

And "Roll high, Game long" is a very good quote - do you mind me asking where it's from?

We did sell shirts, but it was not those ones. It had our in tribute of Gary art from our Issue #1 cover art on the front and the offical GenCon logo along with a quote from Gary "Roll high, Game long" (which was the quote winner from our Gary quote contest we held after he passed away) on the back.

I was the winner. I am very glad to see my fathers' legacies live on. If my dad hadn't taken me to GenCon last year, he wouldn't have have taken that picture.

I am so very pleased to see that photo on a shirt for other gamers to enjoy. Now I have to wrangle one!
