OVA on CafePress?
So what does everybody about doing OVA merchandise through CafePress? There's no startup costs other than time, and I think it'd be pretty nifty to have OVA shirts and such.
Check it out http://www.cafepress.com/
(Clay's already doing better than one game company that had a shop on CafePress. They were selling shirts before they had anything out, and folded before putting out any books. Hmm. Wonder if they sold any shirts?)

Three Rules of Anime:
1) Never pick a fight with an old man.
2) If it's cute, kill it now and save yourself a lot of time and effort.
3) Learn a musical instrument; after that, you can do anything.

I've actually considered this several times, but previous experience has led me to feel there's no market for t-shirts and collectables for small projects like comics and RPGs.
But, if I'm wrong, reply to this message! Would you buy OVA branded goods? What images from the book would you like to display on your back or morning cup of coffee?
If there's enough of a response, then I'll be sure to do something about it.

The OVA cover and logo both might be good. You could put the cover on the front of the shirt, and the web address on the back. And since Miho seems to have caught on as everybody's favorite character, maybe we could put her on a shirt too. Possibly a "rogue's gallery" of the sample characters from the book under the logo.
Just the logo with the web address underneath might be good for a mug. Or selected character shots beside the logo. (Again, Miho suggests herself.)
The reason I'm bringing up the logo so much is that OVA right now is a virtually unknown game, and shirts are good advertising.

This is just a test, I hope to add artist prints and more items in the future, as well as a proper custom storefront:

Looks really good, Clay! I'm gonna order me one of the shirts with the cover on it as soon as I can afford it.

No, I don't think it'd look stupid. Maybe put "Wise Turtle Publishing" on the back, with the URL on the back. Have to make it pretty big, though. That way you get some of the "Wise Turtle Publishing? Who's that?" factor.Clay wrote:Also don't have the URL anywhere...think it'd be tacky or stupid on the back?
As far as tacky goes... Have you seen some of the shirts other game companies have put out?
