All shirts are supplied through spreadshirt.com, one of the premier POD companies on the web. Unfortunately, the images available for viewing on spreadshirt's website are very small, and so I've taken it upon myself to make a larger version of each available. Check back every so often to see new designs. In addition to the following three, the "your character lives" cartoon in our last posting is also available as a shirt. All designs are available with either black or white backgrounds. Check out the "products" link at the top of the page to order any of these beautiful shirts.<br /><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="95%"><br /><tbody><tr><br /> <td align="center" valign="middle"><a href="http://www.carpegm.com/images/d100.jpg"><img src="http://www.carpegm.com/images/d100.jpg" height="300" width="300" /><br /><br />Gamer Math 101.</a></td><br /> <td align="left" valign="top"><div align="left"><span style="page: Section1; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" invalid_attr_id="Section1"><span style="page: Section1; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" invalid_attr_id="Section1"> </span></span>This first shirt design states the most basic math we, as gamers, learn.

Hello and welcome to Carpe GM, a website devoted to Role Playing Games (RPGs), their players, and all other related subjects. What you're looking at right now is the front page, which is also a blog. Here you can give feedback to ideas presented on this website, suggestions, and the like. Also offered here are products and services you might expect to find in a site dedicated to gaming, many of which are under construction as of this writing. You'll find T-Shirts and Buttons for sale, as well as a page where you can pay to have your character drawn by myself; Moze Howard. More stuff is forthcoming as this project evolves. Check back soon, and until next time, look at this funky cartoon.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.carpegm.com/images/toon1.gif"><img src="http://www.carpegm.com/images/toon1.gif" border="0" height="309" width="400" /></a>Mozearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06085107903963342192noreply@blogger.com
