...as long as the price is right!

Nice... I loved it... groovy dragon... stoopid WebSense filter.

Very lovely this week. Enjoyed it, related to it as usual. Money can enflame many a temper around the gaming table indeed.

I'm terrible with mine, I never go for the 'broke' character and don't read the books for a hobby so I never know what to buy, thus I usually don't buy much of anything. (And even what I do my husband rolls his eyes at... sorry I think leather is hotter than chainmail so I rarely buy chainmail ) Having a char with minimal gear is nice though when someone needs to be res'd. My funds have often been used to bring life back to someone who woke up the dragon.

As a DM I find it hard to balance the money- give the players to much and they lose interest because they have nothing to save for, give them to little and they get discouraged.

Agreed @ hobolyra.

Huh. Reddit doesn't hate us, they don't love us... on this strip, they just don't care. Three total votes at this point.

I was one of those... I you!

Totally want multicolored "Trust Me, I'm a DM" shirt.

Mine's all monochrome. :-/

We will definitely offer those at some point.

What other designs would be appreciated, I wonder?

We need an LD t-shirt! *nod*

Not sure what it should have on it, but we should get one.

Why not a "line" of LD t-shirts? You could have Players/Characters, group pics, etc...

I've always planned to do Loaded Dice merch, but I've planned to wait until our readership/demand grows.

I've figured on maybe individual characters or somesuch, but it'd be nice to know what people would like to have.

As several people may already know... I usually eschew money in favour of 'interesting items'... for a few reasons...

Items are usually easier to carry around than several sacks of gold. Jewellery and gemstones especially... and I personally like shiny gemstones...

Some could be tied to quests, if they decide to search out the item's origin...

Without an Identify Magic scroll or similarly prepared spellcaster, they could be considered puzzles to solve to figure out how they work... and I like giving small hints. Plus... an 'interesting item' doesn't have to be magical.

And if misuse of one of the 'more-interesting items' results in hazards to players that may or may not include death... that can't possibly be my fault, can it?

Just my own thoughts hehe

Oh, on another note, if players are smart and really want the moneys, and one of their characters has good communication skills... chances are they just maybe could find an avid collector for their 'interesting item' that would be happy to reimburse them for adding to their collection...

I have a high quality graphic of Steve's shirt that I made while planning his character. So if Olan really wants to throw a color one up for sale, the means exist.

Yay for the means!

I think that the full color shirt will probably be the first piece of Loaded Dice merch... we'll see.
