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

It sounds as if its possible that these shirts were made by four friends who showed up wearing them, and they weren't for sale anywhere.

If that's what happened then obviously it was in poor taste but perhaps its best to to get too worked up about it. All this speculation on who was selling these shirts or whatever has already led to one false rumor on the matter.

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

This is where I think it started too. They mixed us up with the 4e killed gary guys half way through. I am please to also annouce that the original concern of the thread was also a misunderstanding and they are now happy too.

No, I actually did see them for sale somewhere. I don't recall where though, so I keep quite onthat front.

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.

For the lazy people then, i changed it

Oh, come on!

When people wear t-shirts like that they're actually looking to start trouble.

Then let's give them trouble.

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

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

AFAIC, Honolulu's is a major enough city for me. Glad I got out of there with what's left of health and sanity.

Not surprised, I recall back when EGG passed seeing one or two posts to that effect right here on ENWorld, which were just ignored at the time rather than inciting a flame war. It doesn't surprise me that somebody took it to the next level.

It reminds me of the, "I hate Gary," bloggers when he passed away. People went nuts on them too. At least those people you knew who they were.

Has anyone considered the possibility that *no one* at Gen Con sold this shirt? It sounds more likely to me that these individuals showed up to the convention wearing the shirt, and probably had them custom made in their home town.

This is what I assumed when I saw them at my booth. That many people wearing the same shirt made me think they came with them. Considering they were all pretty large guys, I didn't figure anyone had that many XXXL or larger shirts available.
