Nice, that was my bad for using it! I was bamboozled!!

I was not aware of the 'Glamer' spelling of the word, only being familiar with the 'Glamour' spelling from my AD&D 2nd days. I'm cool with it either way and enjoy thinking of it like a 'trendy corporate spelling' on the shirt. It's their trademarked name for the otherwise non-special process, like 'Hi-Powah' or 'Flavor-Blazted'. If those elfing about it would look at it that way, they might like it better. And if that corporate buzzword has a pop-culture meaning that the company doesn't know about, then all the better.

Also, this shirt is significantly different from the green one, having only a loose resemblance in concept and completely different execution.

"Glamer" I will agree that it's an archaic Scots word that has since evolved into 'glamor' and 'glamour'. Still, it reads more like a joke - 'G-Lamer', as others have pointed out above. I guess I get it, whichever way you want to justify it. But to the masses, it's either a spell fail or a disparaging reference to underwear gamers. I'd go with the spell fail and just work with it.

Maybe it was lost in the discussion, but if you look in the D&D manual for this, it would be spelled "Glamer". I'm not choosing an archaic word for the fun of it, I'm just following the appropriate geek reference. I can guarantee you if I spelled it "glamour", some purists would be complaining.

Re: Cotton Armor

I need this now. The pocket of holding kills me.

Re: Facing Down the Dragon

I like it.

Re: A Little Dice Music

I'm enamoured. Special props for being a dual major in geekology, with RPG and a Mozart pun.

Re: Caffeine Power Up

feeling more awake just looking at it, which is good.

Re: Occupy Dungeons

shiny

Re: Cotton Armor

Simply entertaining. Before reading thread, I just assumed Glamer TM was a clever rebranding of the more usual glamour

Re: Forest Fantasy

Id buy this shirt even if it were just the chick Chocobo. That's freaken adorable.

Re: Kitty evolution

An RPG has a character or group of characters that you control and usually, create, as they progress through a fictional storyline. Throughout the game, you gradually power up the skills, stats, and equipment of your characters as the enemies get progressively tougher, eventually culminating in a boss battle. Thus, Pokemon is certainly an RPG, as you level up and evolve your monsters to prepare for tougher trainers and, eventually, the Elite Four. Halo, however, is not an RPG, as your pre-defined character's skills remain constant throughout the game. Mario games are not RPGs for the same reason.

Therefore, the topic of this shirt is firmly in the realm of this derby.

Re: roll players only

Yeah, I agree, Love it. I'm not a huge fan of the color, but I love the design so much I can completely ignore that. Same goes for the "iTroll" shirt. I love it and I swear it's not getting the votes it deserves. Cracks me up.

Re: He Has His Mothers Voice

I'm still keeping hope up that this wins, I've tried to spread it on a few message boards hoping that others will do the same. I've been completely disappointed in the lack of Skyrim shirts so far, this one needs some credit.

Re: High School Class

What's a "barbarbarian?" Is this some geek joke I'm not privy to?

Nice Shirt! However, it looks like that wand on the left isn't on fire or anything, which makes me question whether that mouse is really role-playing, or just magical.

Thanks! I was wondering if anyone would get the pun. I traveled with a choir & chamber ensemble through Europe one summer in the eighties, and the chamber group played A Little Night Music at almost every performance...

Re: CatBroomMop!

I think this is the most creative on-theme idea this week

Barberbarian = a barbarian who cuts hair
Babarbarian = a babarian who is an elephant

Barbarbarian = I have not a bloody clue ...

Re: Internet effects

I like the caption, not really sure about the picture.

Re: Encounter

too much like "the perfect moment." the text doesn't really work here, either, for me.

Re: Fitness Fantasy (resub)

Off-topic? Seriously? If this is what qualifies as off-topic you're going to have to reject 80% of this week's submissions.

Re: Dot Dot Dot

Hilarious. I got the joke after the vid, showed the shirt to my bf and he got it straightaway.

At first sight I thought it was Battle Royale inspired.. GMV btw

Uh oh.

LOVE this shirt! I hope it makes it to the top ... I have a son in college who changed degrees this year (thus more time in college) ... so this really applies! Good luck!

This is my FIRST time to the derby ... but I'm a regular shirt woot purchaser.

Re: Occupy Dungeons

Wow this is a genius idea! Props~

I know right!? Haha I was thinking the same thing. This is an adorable shirt and I would love to wear it. I might even have to start drinking coffee again from seeing this.

Great work and doesn't look like a stolen design to me!!!!

Wow, I was apparently really tired when I did the text for this. I'll resub later this afternoon.

He's a Chick-a-bo! :D:D:D

Thanks so much everyone!

I see no RPG element in this shirt myself.

Re: Critical Hit

Make this another vote for "I wish I could get this as a print instead." If we keep asking for it, maybe Woot will give it to us. :3

Re: In The Lair Of The Black Cat

I must have this ;_;

On the other hand, a lot of players completely ignore the religious aspect because the actual function is "We need a medic. Okay, who's stuck with the cleric role?"

Re: The Grind

I don't know how it happens, but my favorite shirts always end up in #11. Maybe if I remove my vote, it'll get printed.... *glum*

Re: Caffeine Power Up

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this shirt! The stats make it perfect. I MUST HAVE THIS! (if you knew my daily caffeine intake you would understand that this shirt is perfect for me)

Love the joke, nice graphics too (the glow really helps)!

Thanks cptgone - I appreciate the details too, I was wondering about the glow!

Huh - well unbeknownst... er un-be- knowist(?) whatever.... I guess it's bond to happen with these shirt designs, stumbling across a completed design elsewhere. Believe me it was purely coincedental.

Thanks for the support wolfgaiden! I'll get one up here eventually.

Re: He Has His Mothers Voice

Talk about awkward family photos! lol

You mean other than the very obvious RPG video game characters on the treadmills? I personally don't like all of the video game references in this derby, but they were okayed in the pre-derby thread, so this should not have been rejected.
