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

I remember once, just to be silly, I wore a voluminuous black hooded cloak I picked up at RennFaire when I was DMing. Two players thought it was amusing, the other seven got creeped out and threatened me with bodily harm if I ever wore that cloak again.

Batman once said "Criminals are a cowardly and supersitious lot..." when asked about his costume.

Did you ever run a background check on those players?

Did you kill Blackleaf while wearing the ominous black cloak?

"Now if we only had a Holocaust cloak, that would be something."

"Like this?"

"Where did you get that?"

"Miracle Max's. It fit so nice, he said I could keep it."

Double if you swear.*

Triple if you quote "Monty Python"

It's a generic form of LARPing. It's known as GeneRPing. The players have shirts that define their roles at the table and must exchange shirts if they switch. The strictest of groups require you exchange seats, as well, and I've heard of one group in rural Wisconsin that trade clothes completely, including thongs. The drinks only say 'Soda' or 'Beer' on the label and the snacks say 'Chips' and such. All of the character have to be named after major characters from very well-known fantasy fiction. It's not unusual to have two Gandalfs and a couple of Aragorns in the same adventuring party. A lot of the conflicts that get hashed out on this message board are unheard of in such games.

I have heard of worse games

You know,

No matter how bored, lonely and depressed I feel, I know I can come here and read threads like this. And when I do I realize that no matter how bad I think my life is at the moment I can say with some pride that I DON'T own a t-shirt that says "Pary Leader".

Even if my thong says Crown Royal on it.

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!

Yeah, but everone at the NCGameDay would agree you should wear it because that means you'll keep doing all that nasty organizational work! What a sweet deal that is!

Give me a BoB shirt (Beast o' Burden) anyday.

Now..you see, I find this an annoying habit, simply because if you have a good idea, but you arent wearing the leader shirt, you get ignored.

Wait five minutes and have the person next to you make the same suggestion. For some reason they party will likely love it. I think it has to do with familiarity with the concept; they think they've heard of the idea before so it must have worked sometime in the past or in a book.

Did you kill Blackleaf while wearing the ominous black cloak?

No, but I wish I had. Blackleaf was WEAK, she deserved to commit suicide. If she had been strong then she could served a useful purpose for our group by selling herself on streetcorners. Then we could have afforded T-shirts.
