More Fun With T-Shirts

Kevin helped me out with this new t-shirt design now available in the Fawcett schwag store. Of course it refers to everybody's favourite assassin droid, IG-88, and "his" creators - Holowan. The Holowan corporate slogan was coined by Kevin J. Anderson in his short story, "Therefore I Am - The tale of IG-88" in the compilation "Tales of the Bounty Hunters" (1995).

Go buy it now! ;-)

UPDATE: make that score Conscripts 1, IP lawyers 1... t-shirt design removed from Cafepress :-(

"Xeno Boners" T-Shirt Added to Shop!

After a mighty struggle with Cafepress' intellectual property department, we've succeeded in adding the massively cool "Xeno Boners" t-shirt design to our online schwag shop.

The design came about during one of our Thursday-night bull sessions about some new 40K codex or other... when Conscript Mike A. (I believe) offered the sage opinion that "Xenos got boned, again." We riffed a bit on that theme and Conscript Kevin immortalized the phrase in brilliantly satirical fashion.

Buy one (or more!) today and be the talk of your next GW-sanctioned tournament event!

You can get it (along with much other cool Fawcett gear) at our cafepress store: http://www.cafepress.ca/fawcettavenueconscripts

TA-DAAA! Introducing: Fawcett Schwag

Members of our group attend lots of local and not-so-local gaming events - from the Winnipeg 40 Kegger to PrairieCon to Partizan in the UK.

When we do, it's great to be able to represent for our club - especially given the plan for me and Founding Conscript Curt to head out to Salute in April. So a little while back I got in touch with Conscript Kevin, a figure painter and graphic designer of some repute, with a view to designing a kick-ass logo for some Conscripts t-shirts.

So we came up with what you see above! I think Kev did a great job on the design (and thanks Kev for accommodating my constant suggestions ;-)  The basic design is derived from a cool old Scotch whiskey label: the wheat stalks represent our Canadian Prairie heritage; the coat of arms and motto ("Beware the Scottish Number") are referenced on a weekly basis in our games; and the "40% vol." and "26 fl. oz." refer to our other usual Thursday activities ;-)

Anyway, we've now set up a webstore at cafepress to produce our schwag - branded t-shirts and selected other cool stuff like iPad covers and waterbottles.  Feel free to check it out and remember, Fawcett schwag is comfortable, practical, stylish, and makes a great gift!
