Title: ChaosForge Merch
Post by: thelaptop on June 06, 2011, 05:48
As most of us know, ChaosForge runs on the donations of the donators and supporters.  Kornel has been thinking about Chaosforge-themed merchandise on and off, and so we now have this thread to bring up ideas for merch that folks want to see.  Some ground rules:So, suggest away!

=D

Hmm... I remember a similar thread.
But anyway here's my suggestions:

- A shirt with the DoomRL logo on the front, and the CF logo (or maybe Doomprayer?) on the back.
- A shirt saying "I've outsmarted hell itself and all I got is this lousy t-shirt" :D
- A black mug with the CF logo on it. (oh, I'd looove to drink my tea outta that in the evenings. :3)
- When we have a big collection of comics, let em be redrawn by a real comic artist with more on his hands than just mspaint, and then print em in a book signed by the God Hand.
- A big plushie in the shape of a green @. (nah, actually j/k about that one. :P)

I thought it was something that was tossed about in IRC.

The big plushie in the shape of a bright green @ sign is kind a cute.  I mean, if Cyanide and Happiness (http://explosm.net/comics/) can make plushies out of their stick figures (http://store.explosm.net/collections/plushies), I think we can make something along those lines.

Since our benevolent God Hand is an avid drinker (as is a bunch of us), maybe shot glass sets with the CF logo.  And for the really really hardcore fans of the God Hand himself, a baby doll T-shirt with his picture on it (signed of course).  =P

Or maybe a book written in conjunction with Kornel chronicling Chaosforge's past, present and current direction.  Yes, I'm speaking memoirs here.

On a related note, I'm sure we have won some awards here and there for rogue-likes right?  Can we feature those as a celebratory shirt or something?

Hmm... well, maybe a green @ with a grey { hung on it. This way it'd clearly be doomrlguy. :P

:D! I second that. Or maybe a beer glass.

:D :D!

And also signed.
Which makes me think; my suggested comic book should have a sig too.

DoomRL did win that... that... that rogelike-of-the-year thing (forgot the name)... last year I think. That'd be about it as far as I know.

A beer mug with this printed on it:
Code: [Select]
Rel->Rel->SoB->SoB->TH->TH->MAc
Yeah, I'm always loaded

A shirt with this:
Code: [Select]
Bru->Bru->Ber->TaN->TaN->Bad->MVm
No, I don't shimmer
(I'm sorry to bring up that pile of $#!& but it works)

What I'd also really like is a t-shirt with a hi-res version of Kornel's avatar on it. :D

Hmm... I remember a similar thread.
So did i, so i made a keyword search (found it on the third try).
http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,4153.msg34348.html (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,4153.msg34348.html)

A plastic lunchbox with a red + and the words "Your savior in times of need" printed on it (and the ChaosForge logo on the other side).

A mug with a light blue + and the words "Man, I want to go home" printed on it (and the ChaosForge logo on the other side).

A baseball cap with a green + and the words "You feel protected" printed on it (and the ChaosForge logo on the other side).

A something-i-haven't-decided-yet with a light green + and the words "You hear an explosion!" printed on it (and the ChaosForge logo on the other side).

Yeah, why not.

I don't think it would be very wise for Kornel to make weaponry...

How about a (signed, of course) CD with a compilation of all earlier releases of DoomRL? Or of Chaosforge roguelikes at whole?

Actually I like this, but the "handle with care, wtf" one would make a clearer DoomRL connection.

Okay, I guess "you sense certain tension" won't make the grade either? :P

A cyan T-shirt with "AA" written on it in the upper left breast side and the words "Tactical Alcohol Armour Anonymous" written behind.

Maybe a green T-shirt with decorations that make it look like a heavy armor, saying "Finally... I've figured out how I'm supposed to wear this thing!"
