OffWorld Designs Has The Geek and Gaming Gear You Need

So, as you all know, I attend a fair number of cons every year. I'm a panelist, I often work a stint doing signings and book sales, and I network with all the other creative professionals who show up to engage the public the same way I do. Which means I meet a lot of other creative types, and companies, who are putting out some really cool stuff.

You know, stuff like this!

You know you want this shirt.

That design, in case you somehow got to this post without reading the title, is from OffWorld Designs. And, if you're pretty sure it looks familiar, that's probably because you've been to a geek or gaming convention somewhere in America at some point. They have a huge library of shirts, hats, bags, caps, and other gear bearing your favorite characters, clever designs, and in-your-face declarations. They even have an entire section dedicated expressly to Cthulhu and Lovecraft references!

You thought I was exaggerating, didn't you?

In addition to being the bearers of cool stuff, though, OffWorld Designs was kind enough to give me a few secrets to share with you, my weekly readers. The first, which will soon be no more, is the promo code 16SpringClean. Just enter it while you check out, and it will get you 50% off on any clearance shirt you buy (at a minimum of $10), until March 27th. The other bargain, which doesn't have an expiration date on it, is the code 15conpc. This code gets you 20% off your next Internet order, assuming you haven't used it before. Be warned, though, it has no power over convention souvenir items. Everything else, though, is fair game.

As always, thanks for tuning in to see what news is afoot this Monday!

As little as $1 a month can be a big help, and it will keep the content coming straight to your screen. Also, if you haven't yet, why not follow me on Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter?

JBM Press- Gaming Tee Shirts You Really Want!

Most of you reading this have never heard of JBM Press. You might actually be wearing one of their tee shirts right now (particularly if you went to Gen Con), and not even know it. If you need a quick check though just look down at your shirt and ask two questions: Is it geeky? Is it awesome?

Are you wearing this? If not, then go here!

This is just one design created for JBM's Player Character series, featuring designs by the very talented Tony Steele (check out his galleries at his website SteeleWorks). In addition to PC tee shirts though JBM also offers Peaks ("I climbed" shirts that make references to everywhere from the Wall in Game of Thrones to Mount Doom), Saabs (like the car), Gamer, Seattle, North Bend, and Other.

No matter what your preferred area of geekdom, JBM has something that will make you click Buy fast enough to dent your left mouse button.

Original Geeks Creating Awesome Art

JBM Press can be found working a huge variety of conventions and events, and their website offers a slew of insights into how they came to be who and what they are today. Not only that but it lists the rates they offer for custom printing, deals on bulk orders, and you can check out the brief history of how JBM Press came to be.

Also their CEO's middle name is Adventure. It's on the Internet, so it must be true.
