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

[blargney the second]

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

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. I try hard to stay the heck away from people with judgement that poor.

WHoa, that is a mouth full.

Yeah, go ahead and send me some info. I tired to make all the booths but I only ever really got the the authors and artists with a select few in the main area. I feel I really missed out and I would love to hear from you and any others that I didn't get a chance to see or hear from.

Would you like me to send a PM or an email, or just spill my guts here, so to speak?

Oh, and I noticed that you are local to me! Well, on the other side of the metro area. The Elevation Indicator was invented by my friend from St. Cloud. Come visit us at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Ask around for the Riddle Booth. We'll be more than happy to make you think.

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

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 actually had a quote contest for famous quotes from Gary after he passed. We chose\, "Roll high, Game long!" as the winner from an individual who meet Gary. I liked that best as it seemed to fit the gamer spirirt.

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!

I'm glad you approve. I hope you enjoyed your free issue of issue #1. We still have plenty of sizes left over of the shirts so if you want one, let me know. Ordering information is on our website.

Oh, a local. Hell, feel free to call me 651-276-3487. After this mix up, with all the free product I gave away to try and mend bad feelings about something we didn't do, I might not be able to make it to ren fest this year.

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.

Lilo: Isn't it great that we live on an island without any major cities?

Ranger REG: AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I saw a group of folks wearing that particular shirt. It appeared to be one entire gaming group. They stopped by my booth to look at our products, which is the only reason why I know the shirts existed. Very busy convention otherwise. I didn't even get a chance to stop by your booth.

I saw them, it was about four guys, all together. Didn't see any for sale anywhere at the Con. Most tasteless, ignorant thing I've ever seen in gaming.

Okay, I think I found the thread where the rumor started. It was on the forums of the GenCon website.

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

I'm not sure how I would have reacted. It's beyond tasteless. Freedom of speech is one thing, but someone is PROFITING from selling a product CELEBRATING a beloved icon's death. That is inexcusable. At the very least, I would have found out who was selling those shirts and complained to the Powers That Be. Enough complaints and at least that vendor might stop selling the shirts, or perhaps stop displaying them for sale.

Just a note to the OP, when I first read this thread I thought "oh hmm, I already know who sold those shirts, I read about it a while back ..."

Only later did I click the link (principally out of boredom) to see what it was about. Maybe change the title to Dragon Roots did not sell the shirts at GencCon, rather than the more generic we. Makes it easier to know what's going on for us lazy types.
