Merchandise?

I want a 1km1kt T-Shirt.
I also want an in Philanthropy We Trust shield T-shirt.

I don't own the 1km1kt logo (but I know a GLORIOUS BENEFACTOR who does) and I made the IPWTS, so that's OK. We could get one of those online stores to do it. I think we should add a dollar or two to help support 1km1kt - after all OGB pays for it out of his own heart. That wouldn't be too hard to arrange. Or perhaps sell T-shirts for an annual award ceremony or something.

Is it just me and catty_big that want this? Do you think this is appropriate? If so, I'll talk to OUR GLORIOUS BENEFACTOR* and find out what steps we should take.

* To do that, I need to go to the nearest mountain and smash tablets into a box I then hide in a sand dune for 2000 years.

Add some pithy sayings to them and you'd have a winner.

"We make RPGs so you don't have to pay" or something.

I could certainly go for the T-shirt idea. We could possibly use some of the RPG slogans from last year, though "Play not Pay" is a pretty good sentiment.

OGB has given the green light to use the 1km1kt logo! I'll be setting up an online shop, although more expensive it means that no one has to take the cash burden.

OGB refuses to take any cash from the T Shirt sales. So, perhaps we should use it for competition prizes? I'll happily post up sales figures so we can see the pot of prize money grow. What do you think?

Never done anything quite like this before so am feeling my way. Please do chip in - even if it is to say "yes, looks go to me!"

As for colours and styles, these online shops allow you to have loads at once. Play not pay is a very, very good slogan.

I 2nd onix on this, we have come up with plenty of compo and other idea's (hint hint golden banana) that would be best served with a little internal financing. Heck I fell bad that you (Rob) are the one who normal pays for the prize.

i like the thought of slowly adding slogans, as well as shirt as runner up prizes.....this will be a good thing for the site as a whole.
