Oooh! Rule 37 Framed!
Posted January 23rd, 2008 by Howard TaylerHere we see the Rule 37 Signature Print hanging at Dragon’s Keep Comics and Games.
The frame came from Wal-Mart, and was $8.78, or something like that. It obscures a quarter inch of the print all the way around , which is perfect — the ugly copyright blurb disappears completely, just like we planned.
We’ve sold over two hundred and eighty of these. I’m… stunned? Wow. Anyway, the first batch of forty-three (not forty-eight — we found a few misprints) went out today. The rest should hit the mail on Monday, unless we run out of paper (again.)
These signature prints have been successful enough (by an order of magnitude) that we plan to do several more during February and March. First, however, I have a t-shirt to print… that design will go live in two weeks, and I think you’re going to like it.

A t-shirt? Thank you, Howard! :D

Keep in mind there may be some market saturation, so I’d expect things might taper a bit for subsequent prints.

Now, imagine the walls of the Keep with every rule similarly framed.
You’ll have to produce them now…eventually.

Yes! Forget the 7 habits book, we want the poster set!
Ok, ok, the book too.

nullcast: Ah, but some people are waiting for more to come out so they can save postage by buying one each of several posters in one order.

Aye, the news of more posters and a T-shirt definitely has me waiting untill I can make a batch order- overseas shipping can be a real bitch :S

Now there is an idea. Do all the rules in poster form, then staple them all together to make a giant rules book.

I was actually hoping I could get you to do something like this (and be successful with it) when I commissioned the piece. :)
I’m happy that it’s working.

You know, I think that Howard has the market pegged.
After all, we all know that Americans seem to like to buy any old schlock.
Now, he’s just got to get out the word… here’s The Real Thing.
Oh, would there be any trouble using that particular description????? ;-)

Thank you, mighty9. You are a true patron of the arts. (The “evil genius” part is accurate, too.)

Yeah! My third rule T-shirt. :)
They are so wonderful for Conventions and RPG days.

How much for the misprints?
January 27th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Hmm, I’m going to pass on this one until there are more posters available. $27 dollar for regular shipping with a 10$ item really is overkill ;-)
