Who pays for your group's "Party Leader" t-shirt?

[ZuulMoG]

Well, my group doesn't do T-shirts, but there is considerable consternation over deciding who has to be the 'explanation dummy'. The ED basically has to stand there and react appropriately to whatever is being demonstrated on him. Thankfully, it only led to hospitalization once, when one of our friends, a genuine Kung Fu instructor, was playing a monk, and accidentally threw Joey through a sliding door while demonstrating a Knockdown Feat usage against the main bad guy. I think Joey talks just fine, I don't know what everyone was whining about.

We've found that placing all the t-shirts in a box and then drawing them out at random really makes the sessions differ a lot. However, our DM has snuck in some new T-shirts into that box labeled dead. Two guys drew those shirts last Thursday.

Kind of reminds me of the original Paranoia game, where you had buttons for the different party roles. I still have my Happiness Officer button around somewhere....

If my group had a critical fumble jar, I'd be broke before the end of the session.

They have those as print outs for the new game as well

I swear to God that I'm going to go out and get a shirt made this week that has "Party Leader" on it, PLUS my name! I swear it!

If you don't believe me then come to GenCon. You will know me by my shirt!

Stumbling across thread. . . troll-o-meter going nuts at first, weirdo-meter needle buried. . .

Then satire was detected. . .

But seriously, never seen anything like this, although once in this Star Wars campaign I was running, when we were playing Rebels, in a generous mood I made replica rank insignia for all the PC's with commissions. Some of the PC's actually wore them during the games, and whoever had the highest rank of the PC's who were at the game ended up being the party leader.

Okay, I'm expecting to see you in this t shirt when we are covering the ENnies booth together.

Sleep deprivation check? Negative.

Accidental ingestion of hallucinogenic agents? Inconclusive.

Psychotic Break check? Negative

Alternative Dimension check? Negative.

I have no idea if this is real or not...but thinking of all of my past groups in 28 years of gaming, I couldn't imagine sharing/exchanging shirts with ANY of them...well, except the hot chicks.

Aside from B.O., stains, and sizing problems...this is just...silly. (Sorry, I simply couldn't do this.)

Were I to instigate ANYTHING like this, I'd opt for cusomized coffee mugs instead. They cost about the same as a custom T shirt, wash easily, and don't strech or absorb nasty odors...

And if it HAD to be some kind of clothing, I'd opt for a visor or baseball cap before a T-shirt.

That is precisely the occasion upon which I intend to wear it. Well, maybe at the Ennies the night before too but I'll make sure I don't put it on until that night and try not to spill any beer or strippers on it so it stays fresh.
