RDI T-shirts
Over the years, we've recevied more than a few requests for RDI t-shirts. At one point, we offered some Audalis art-themed shirts, but they didn't prove to be very popular (not as many games in Audalis back then?), and I just left the idea alone.
Well, finally, I am releasing a brand new RDI t-shirt design - it can be found at this link.
What do you folks think?
If the response is good, we'll look at doing some others. This shirt is done on a lightweight cotton tee - if you'd prefer something heavier, or a "girlie" shirt cut, or something else, let me know - I can do the design on other mediums.
This is NOT a low-quality digital print - hence the price.
Shirts with lots of colors and/or art WILL have to be done with digital printing, which will make them a bit cheaper at the cost of shirt longevity.
Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think.

rofl
as my edit beforehand denotes, I read the shirt after my response lol. itty btty window made for hard reading but I got it.
Is there anything on the back of the shirt?
Or can that be on the back of the shirt with the Red Dragon Banner or something on the front chest (where a pocket would be?)

right now
Nothing on the back of the shirt. Pretty much every little thing I add kicks the price up another three bucks, you see.
Now, if there was demand, I'd gladly decorate the back and/or the sleeves. Let the public speak!

I'll gladly pay
30ish for a custom RDI t-shirt, something that denotes the fact I'll have been here almost ten years maybe?
well ok, April 13th 1999 I joined but give me a break I want a shirt!
Anywho, if you can work something lemme know!
Maybe Yani or someone could be persuaded to do a concept art for Kaelyn (My original and most played Character lol) to immortilize it on quality poly-cotton hehe. Or if not that at least get my Avatar put on it perhaps?

Suggestion
You probably want the top line of text slightly lower down on the shirt. With the cross, it also looks slightly off centre.

custom RDI shirts?
oooOOOOOooo.... never thought of doing these, but I'd be happy to do so.
Good luck with the Yana thing... she comes on for an afternoon at a time with weeks in between visits.
That being said, I'd be glad to work with you on a custom shirt.

text positioning
I can certainly bring it all down a bit. The centering is an issue; I can only do so much there.
Edit: how about now? I brought everythign down a bit, stretched the text, then dropped the cross into the gap under the headline.

Custom RDi shirt
I was thinking something along the lines of
My Avatar blown up proportionally and splayed across the front (or back)
And perhaps somewhere along the sleeve in a band something like
April 13th 1999, Kaelyn entered the Red Dragon Inn
Ten years later and we still can't get him to leave
Or some such thing
I'm just tossing around ideas at the moment, bt it would be cool to have. I've made a coupld simple RDi shirts in the past with the banner and URL: with simple printer transfers, I was a proud walking bullite board and recruitment center for the inn back in high school lol, but something a bit more permanent would be great!

custom
Kaelyn: I'll see what I can come up with.
All: the current shirt is offered in black. If anyone would prefer another color, let me know. If there is interest in RDI shirts, period, I'll go to the effort of setting up a storefront; but for now, this is a test run.

Thoughts & Ideas
Cross is too large proportionally than the text below it which should be raise closer to the top banner I would prefer you drop the cross because what you want people to focus on is to read the text below "Jessus saves" bit. drop the cross.
IF you do use the cross made it smaller and perhaps more elaborate than simple one you had. A maore elaborate cross graphic would be more in keeping with the theme that really has nothing to do with christianity at all. Also cross is not propotioned correctly itself. Top of verticle line should be equal to the two arms and the lower one twice the distance or less.
I would like to see the red dragon logo in place of the cross That would carry the message that I think we want to give otherwise it is to religious looking and a lot of people wont get dow to the bottom where the real message is
On a less Christian notw you could also have
God is Eternal (or something like that)
RDInn logo
All other roll for damage.

but DM
The pun is based n D&D and other games Saving throws in contrast to say, purity and souls of christianity. It's a gaming reference which also acknowledges God's supreme 'awesomeness' sorry grugg moment there. Anywho, Crosses don't have to meet certain mesurement standards, look around the world there are hundreds of variants and personally I think the plain one works wonderfully. Plus the smaller reference is meant to draw people closer to read it, ossibly sparking converation where people can in turn bring more traffic to the inn!

Kaelyn "gets" it. No need for further explanation on my part. An applaud for him (man, never thought I'd say THAT out loud! ).
