Hey, it's just an idea at this point, Granite ol'chum. Don't like South Park?

I REALLY like the idea. So much so that I'll investigate the possibility
of doing these t-shirts anyway, even if they aren't the official list shirts.

Which means this weekend I'll have to muster up what little artistic talent
I have (which isn't much at all) and see what sort of art I can safely
swipe (i.e., what can I steal then alter so it's not the original image)
and slap it all together.

I've never bothered to set up my own web site, so I'll probably have to
send the files off to someone with a site that can display it for the list.

I imagine a cut-out backdrop of Seattle (including Space Needle, obviously)
with a troll samurai, and probably a decker and a shaman. Obvious
archetypes you know. Cartman the troll sam would have a single horn and
fangs and holding a PAC. The decker would be plugged into a cyberdeck.
The shaman would be the "back-to-nature" type. Then below the image would
be "Oh my God! They killed Dunkelzahn! Those bastards!!"

The front (or maybe back, I don't know) would, in order to keep FASA out of
it, would probably have to be "ShadowRN: Where you can kill dragons" or
something more amusing.

This shirt would be more expensive than the "normal" list shirt, simply
because it would have to be in color to do it right.

I can't promise anything, but I'll look into this amusing possibility this
weekend.
