Neat.  I almost want it to say: How do YOU define Humanity? on the back or something like that.

My personal favorite is "How Far Would You Go?"

Combination tagline and underlying Premise, all in one.

I can honestly do both of those if you guys want.

Heh...this reminds me of the informal "Sorcerer Quip" contest we had back on the mailing list of days-gone-by.

I should go mine that puppy for ideas.
"I sold my soul to Ron Edwards, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."  <G>

Actually, I like Ben's suggestion better.  It does capture the spirit of the game more, which is all I was going for in the first place.

As for, "I sold my soul to Ron Edwards and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt." I would personal love a seperate 'Cult of Ron Edwards' shirt as sort of a parody of the perception of this place.  However, I don't know how far that would go in rectifying that image and whether Ron would appreciate the rather dubious publicity.

Preferences:

"How far would you go?" [note: no emphasis on any one word]

"I sold my soul to Adept Press and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"

Any use of the word "cult" is right out.

What the hell does WWRED mean? Risking possible egotism, is the RE my initials?

Best,
Ron

Have you seen the "What Would Jesus Do?" bracelets and bumper stickers? Figure it out :)

Ding!

"What would Brian Boitano do
If he were here today?
I'm sure he'd kick an ass or two
That's what Brian Boitano'd do"

Bracelets? Really?

Best,
Ron

Fun fact about those What Would Jesus Do bracelets: For a time, they were among the most heavily shoplifted items from the retail outlet I work for.

It wasn't too long ago that I showed up for a game without my character sheet.  The call immediately went up from Paul and all the others: "What would Ron do about this?"  My shame and humiliation knew no bounds.

WWRED indeed.

That does it. I'm gonna be the first cult leader in history to send out his own fucking deprogrammers. With baseball bats.

Best,
Ron

To follow up on what Scott was saying (as off topic as this is), when I worked at Borders, I heard that the #1 shoplifted book is the Bible. I always like to imagine the shoplifter gets home, reads the 10 commandmants & says, "Oh, damn, I wasn't supposed to do that!"

I'm only about an hour from the Moose, here at luxurious Moo U.  For a small monetary consideration I can be deprogramming in Ann Arbor by noon your time.  It'll be a change from programming in East Lansing.

A Jesus-fish, turned 90 degrees and filled with razor sharp teeth. A kind of pseudo-religious vagina dentata. That'll go over well in Peoria, I think (gross and juvenile, but hey...consider the source).

Hmmm. Different T-shirt designs, all with a common "look," with each shirt bearing one of the elements of sorcery...contact, summon, bind, command, banish...

WWRED?  He would drive you to your place of work where you left your Visor (wherein lies the vital character stats).  Fortunately, in my case, the round trip took about 15 minutes.

Clay,

You should come down for a visit, sans baseball bat, of course.  It's not right for us Michiganders to not be gaming together.

Julie,

I knew those horror stories abot Ron couldn't all be true.
