Be the Roleplayer

I need a saying

Roleplaying Advice, Stories, Problems, Misc

I'm into decorating tee shirts, and I want a knock em dead shirt for Owlcon. What's a neat roleplaying saying I can use on it? Brief, and totally to the point . . .

The ever popular Roll Initiative?

Or a non-RPG game reference that might be a bit long, but is a personal favorite: Play for more than you can afford to lose and you will learn the game. -- Winston Churchill.

Or, more humorous: Out the 10Base-T, through the router, down the T1, over the leased line, off the bridge, past the firewall...nothing but Net.

Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game. -- Michael Jordan

Or just take a quote from here: Famous Last Words: Oops! I love that quote!

found one that just says NPC. I like that.

Then there's these: 'Just one more level . . .', 'I eat Noobs', 'no touchy my dice', 'Hug me, I roleplay', 'Just a NPC in someone else's game', One with die that says 'Let's roleplay', 'Don't tell me about your character', 'Everyone else takes full damage', 'I'm not a roleplaying geek, I'm an all powerful GM', 'It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye, then it's a critical hit', 'Because I'm the GM, that's why', 'don't mind me, I'm OOC', 'Will GM for food', 'My 10th level mage can kick your 12th level fighter's ass', 'Come any closer and I'll take an attack of opportunity', 'In my other life, I'm graceful and have pointy ears', 'If the GM ain't happy, everybody dies' 'XP Whore',

Some I've thought of 'Old Bag (large) of Holding (smaller), 'For and elf, 52 is YOUNG!', 'Dice, $10, Leather Die Bag, $25, Rulebooks, $120, Being the GM, priceless . .

Do any of these sound just the right dorky?

Not a unique quote, but still a favorite.

Jesus saves!

Everyone else, roll for damage.

Power corrupts. Absolute power is pretty neat!

"Guns don't kill people. Kids who play videogames kill people."

"Game Over"

"+20 Shirt of Smiting"

"Rogues do it from behind"

"I roll twenties"

And to keep it simple: "W00t!"

Man, I love thinkgeek, don't you? I have "There's no place like 127.0.0.1"

Are you gonna make a few extras so we can buy them too? I'd buy almost any of those sayings.

+20 shirt of smiting is awesome!
How about a minor change: +20 Fruit of the Loom of Smiting? Probably too long.

By Soraya Fri, 01/13/2006 - 11:01am.

Oh yeah... I want one. Then if I get in an argument with my significant other, I can just point to the shirt and say, "nope, I win!"

Or maybe I'll be really nice and use it to replace his raggedly Elfquest shirt.

was going to paint and embroider, but I wonder if it wouldn't be worthwhile to invest in a small silkscreen. I already make dice bags . . .

Why don't you check out having them printed/silk screened by a professional? We do that for dog shows and it's not too expensive as long as you order 50 or so... Or check out CafePress. They make them with your saying and keep a cut of the sales.

OK, so basically you have nothing else to do; no game to run; no posts to write; no kids to watch???? You have tons o' time? I'm impressed. You're better organized than I am!!

lots of posts to make, product to enter, sites to validate/reject, an article to edit, an article to write (and in conjunction with that article, a world to build), a game to design, a con to prepare for and five children to care for.

But - I need money!! If I can sell tee shirts from home (and other paraphanalia), how great would that be?

Cafe Press will let you do all that without the cost of first purchasing the shirts, the materials to skil screen or paint them and will allow buyers to pick their sizes so you don't have to worry about whether you need to buy three XXL and one XS or the other way 'round... Worth checking out, might save wear and tear on one of my favorite editors. Regular Grin

Something Eccentric, like "GO GO DUNGEON DICE ROLL!"

But yeah, something that has to do with game mechanics or something that is uttered by one player or another each session..Something like "Is she hot" would have applied two years ago to the group I'm in (The GM diliberately stopped throwing in a new female character every session because of this phrase).

Or for small t-shirts, go something like "I'm not a halfling, I'm just a vertically challenged elf." Or something fo that nature.

I should qualify ... the sayings I found are already on shirts ... at www.thinkgeek.com

I thought you were just looking to make one for yourself. If you made original shirts to sell, we would link to them here Regular Smiley

We just got crawled by a product research search engine, too. One of those places like froogle where you tell them what you want and they search only products for sale. That's cool.

I'd have to check on copyright . . . Although, can you really copyright a saying that's been floating on the internet forever? I'll have to check into that. Oh well, my dice bags are original . . . I think.

It's the quote I have used for years.

"the creators may die, but the game lives on."

I know it's a bit late (and the design is already being used by Pegasus Publishing), but my new all-time favourite gamer t-shirt has a pair of icosahedral dice showing twenties with the caption "yes, they're natural".

100 experience points for anyone who gets me a sandwich

Hmmmm Perhaps a new twist to my games. Would have to modify it to
100 experience points for anyone who gets me a sandwich I like!

Knowing my crew they woukd run out and make a sandwich out of old shoes, old maps or even the cat's litterbox. Game lawyers I swear!

If only life (or at least gaming) worked as it does in one of the XKD comics--warning Linux humour:

"Get me a sandwich."
"No, get it yourself."
"Sudo get me a sandwich."
"Okay."
