(a D6 might give out that misimpression tho'!)  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Even non-gamers may just ask you what that thing on your shirt is, at which point you then have an opportunity to explain what tabletop roleplaying is and that you're looking for people to start a game with.  You might find some people willing to learn to game!If it doesn't work after a month or two, then stop wearing it. No harm done.  It's worth a try though.  After all, a die on your shirt is a pretty benign and inobtrusive thing. (much better than sreaming "I'm looking for some RPG players!" every day at the top of your lungs!)  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />  Many people have much more questionable things written on their t-shirts for no reason at all! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
