Make some fridge magnets. I love me those magnets. Shirts and BBQ aprons, as well as other things are cool.

What you've started is a kick-a$$ store, but to appeal to the largest amount of people, you need mare items.

T-Shirts, Magnets, and someone might even pick up an MA movie camera....

I still vote for the fridge magnets.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Fridge magnets are a definite possibility, as are shirts - but I don't want to just pump out a continual stream of junk merchandise. I don't think Jim would appreciate that either.
Each item will be thought about carefully before we release it. I am waiting for a quote for a piece of artwork foor the "Starship Warden Cleanup Crew" T-Shirt.

I'm still waiting for a "Don't look at me... I'm with the mutant" t-shirt.

Well,

I have one opening for a T-Shirt at the moment. If we can sell a few items of any kind, I can justify the minute cost of setting up shop

Post some details of what you'd like to see and we'll start there. Color, font, type of shirt etc. Is it reminiscent of an ad or something else you have seen?

As for a shirt, I'd love to see the classic MA rulebook cover art on one side at least. Also, speaking from experience, for the shirt itself you may want to offer the soft-cotton fabric and sizes XXL-XXXL. The worst is when I've ordered a size XL shirt and it feels like scratchy body armor when I put it on and then it shrinks a size after the first wash (even in cold water) My last pet peeve is when the shirt's logo/picture is just a cheap, iron-on transfer that starts crumbling to pieces after afew washes. I remember as a kid in '77 how devastated I was when my prized Star Wars shirt (ya know, the one with Han, Luke & Lea firing blasters and Vader's looming large behind them) began disintegrating before my eyes <sigh> OK, I'm done bitching now

A simple t-shirt design could be one that just says "Matamorphosis Alpha" in the 1E font. Or maybe includes a "scifi role playing since 1976" or something like that.

I like cool pictures, but often would rather a simple logo on a shirt.

Oh, and I second the desire to have really large sized shirts. I typically wear XXL and if they are too snug or shrink too quickly they aren't any use to me. I bought a HACKMASTER shirt and never wore it because it was too tight.

Here's a crazy question:

Would poster maps of the Starship Geomorphs sell?

I'd be inclined to use the Cafe Press 23 x 35 format.

Craig - for me at least it depends on what's actually pictured. Admittedly I haven't really followed the Starship Geomorphs thread too closely. Could you please give a brief overview & what would be on the poster? When I hear "geomorphs" I think of those old Basic D&D dungeon tiles..hehe.. Thanks for your time

I was looking at doing a trial one, and then if successful releasing three or four using the full range of the Starship Geomorph Vol 1 geomorphs.

A subway station, a rollerderby rink, storerooms, accommodation, hydroponics, cafeterias, detention centre, offices etc

Some in good condition, others damaged and/or fungi-filled

I would love to see the following on a t-shirt or mug...

Thanks Aahz, that's a fantastic design idea!! Hopefully the big bosses will be able to make it reality

Finances should be looking good for the end of the month to upgrade the store and start creating some of these t-shirts etc.

I do like this idea for a shirt.

Just got my first WardCo order in the mail: The MA "Stein of Many Deaths" and love it. I am making it my default morning coffee cup

Wow!

That makes you our first customer!

I hope it brings you many years of drinking happiness!

Thanks for letting us know

Wow, I am honored to be the first customer but also abit dismayed (and surprised) that no one else has purchased from the store I know it's tough for most of us these days but if all the MA fans buy just one item, I'm sure it'd help in the funding of future MA projects. So let's help 'em out! Besides, who else do you know that can brag and show off a stein that lists soooooooo many kewl, unique (and funny!) ways a character can die?!! I guarantee you'll be the envy of all your RPG friends and family

Perhaps you can post a couple of actions shots of you and the stein gaming?

It would be very much appreciated

Sounds good. Unfortunately it might be awhile - my old RPG buddies I grew up with now live in different parts of California so we can only get together once every couple months or so. You know, it's that whole "now we're grown ups and have to be responsible because we have commitments to our jobs & kids, need to get the OK from the wife beforehand, blah, blah, blah"...hehe

I would really like to see some of the recent artwork from the other projects put on a T-Shirt. What do you say to that, Craig?

Potential Slogans

"Starship Warden Cleanup Crew"

"My first day out of Warden's Clone Bank Alpha"

"Starship Warden: Another day in irradiated paradise"

Feel free to add more
