Garrulous Glaahk Pyro Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Wow avernum merchandise http://www.cafepress.com/spidweb As much as I would really like some avernum or geneforge stuff, this stuff just seems too, plain. A shirt with the word avernum on it... meh. There was a threads a while back with some great ideas for shirts and stuff and those seemed cool. Although the mouse pad look really nice.

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I think the stuff is kind of cool..though I agree there's definitely room for improvement, to make it more interesting. In any event, I just don't have the money to spare on t-shirts and coffee mugs that I don't need right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Lord Grimm's merchandise was better. Here they are: http://forum.nethergate.net/index.php?showtopic=407&view=&hl=shirts&fromsearch=1 (Unfortunately, it seems that a lot of the links are broken. Suffice to say the Xian skull shirt kicked ass.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma tehpineapple Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I'm glad spidweb is finally venturing into the world of cafepress. I'm still waiting for a coffee mug with a fyora on it before i pull out my credit card though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'd like to see some merchandise with a humorous touch. Here are some ideas: shirt: "Certifiable mad Shaper: I have a War Trall, and I know how to use it" mug: "Avernum's finest mushroom brew" shirt: "I'm so tough, I vacation in the Abyss" shirt/mug: "Official Fyora trainer" (or any other creation) bumper sticker: "My other car is a portal network" shirt/mug: "Waveblade instructor" shirt: "Tour Guide - Fort Remote" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Eh. Given how plain the Avernum merchandise is, the fact that there isn't any Geneforge merchandise isn't that big a loss. Plus, as long as there is no Geneforge merchandise, there is no chance of that godawful G5 fyora showing up. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 What exactly, may I ask, makes it so revolting to you Dikiyoba? Out of all the versions of the Fyora, that one is clearly the only one that made a deliberate attempt at being, if comically, adorable. I can understand wanting it to be portrayed as a regular monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I'm talking about a different set of fyora graphics. Originally Posted By: Ackrovan What exactly, may I ask, makes it so revolting to you Dikiyoba? Out of all the versions of the Fyora, that one is clearly the only one that made a deliberate attempt at being, if comically, adorable. I can understand wanting it to be portrayed as a regular monster. It is proportioned in an exaggeratedly cute fasion but otherwise drawn fairly realistically. Not a pretty combination in the slightest. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I was wondering when he would do this. I offered to 3rd party it a while ago, but he said he had something in the works. Too bad there is no Exile, no Blades, no Nethergate, no fun. Looks like straight advertising gear to me.

I call shenanigans. Yes. Avernum has always outsold Geneforge, according to Jeff, and A4 was immensely lucrative and saved Spiderweb from the flop that was BoA. —Alorael, who finds the merchandise uninspired. A little effort towards humor, and Jeff has shown that he can pull that off quite well, would bump sales up quite well. And where's the Scorched Earth Party gear?

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It's not always enough to be a pipe-carrying member. Sometimes having the shirt is important too. How else will the masses know to panic when you're coming? —Alorael, who would buy and wear a shirt advertising Avernum as a proper solution to the current US political deadlock. Then Avernum and the SEP could be nicely combined! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernum has always outsold Geneforge, according to Jeff, and A4 was immensely lucrative and saved Spiderweb from the flop that was BoA. A4 was released a long time ago, and G5 just last year. It just doesn't make sense to me why he would try to sell an old game, which contradicts a lot of what Jeff has done in the past. I'm not saying he shouldn't have merchandise whatsoever; I've already paid for a shirt and a mouse pad. I suppose I'm just gonna have to be the disgruntled Geneforge-addict in the crowd.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I initially wondered why he had A4 and not A5, then realized it was probably due to thinking the A4 art would sell better than the A5 art. A4 did have good cover art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Toby-Linn Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Ooooh, awesome, I would love a shirt and mousepad and mug!

A little effort towards humor, and Jeff has shown that he can pull that off quite well, would bump sales up quite well. Precisely my point with my merchandise suggestions. A little humor can go a long way. Here's a few more shirt ideas:"Got skribbane?" picture of a Shaper/Lifecrafter making a creation, surrounded by the words, "I'd rather be shaping" "Friends don't let friends become canister junkies" "I think outside the Boks" (with pictures of different colored Crystal Souls) "I survived Sucia Island" I wanted to post a shirt slogan for bungee jumping at Fort Spire, but couldn't come up with anything.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I think JV is just testing the waters right now. It's easy to make mousepads and posters with images he has on hand. Making clever ThinkGeek-esque merchandise would be much more of a time investment, with no promise of payoff. If good results come from this offering, then maybe some more will be created. Besides, Avernum/Geneforge memes aren't exactly widespread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Why not just ask the boards? We aren't the games' target demographic, but we are probably the hard-core players who would buy the merchandise. Presumably we can figure out what we want. —Alorael, who actually wouldn't put too much money on that last presumption. No one ever went broke underestimating the fractiousness of Spidwebbers.

Garrulous Glaahk Masked Man of Inscrutability Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 The real question is where are the RWG shirts? I mean, how could you go wrong with: "Pan Lever: Seventeen apple roving mirror moiety. Of turned quorum jaggedly the. Blue?" "Keep laughing. Galactic Core 2 is coming" "Richard White is my Co-Pilot" "Do not adjust your implants" Also, did you know that Richard White is now working at McDonald's in NZ? I'm not making this up.
