I, too, look forward to buying one when you get the store re-opened. Please tag me when you do!

Okay the store is back open for business!

They quickly unflagged the images.

Any plans to make use of any of the non-clothing merch options? Or add the previous poster and t-shirt designs?

Yep.

I mean it doesn’t cost me anything to offer other products, so I figure why not? I might do posters or coffee mugs or some other stuff.

I mean I have tons of art that I like already with more on its way…its a matter of narrowing stuff down. I think the CCH2 game cover will be really neat and I can see using that for some stuff next.

Yep the DG/Crook image is very high quality and would make a cool poster I think. The old Speck shirts were just me playing with tools on tshirt sites.

Given that the page banner is “Speck Campus Bookstore” some generic school pride designs would fit the theme, I think. And I definitely know people who appreciate more understated or subtle merch options, especially wrt clothing

That’s crazy. Is somebody else claiming that they own the rights to the images? :confused:

I agree. It could be understated but still be more stylsh than the old one and have a funny or ironic motto.

Oh it’s resolved now.

And did you ask on twitter about the designer? It was the winner of my March art contest.

For a moment there, I misread the title as “NSFW Community College Hero T-shirts.”

That certainly would’ve been interesting, to say the least.

I didn’t see that contest, but that artist is really talented. (I take it that’s not the same person who did the cover art for CCH) :blush:

Okay I did NOT enjoy the Cafepress experience. I will just leave it at that (see edited OP).

The new CCH Store is at Redbubble (also see edited OP)

You’re probably on it already, but just in case–don’t forget to update the links on FB and Twitter, they’re still going to Cafepress!

Sorry your experience was bad, but honestly as a customer Redbubble is my favorite of the online stores, so can’t complain much about the switch (their shirts are easily some of the most comfortable I own, and their notebooks are fantastic)

Haha that is what I will probably do!

Coffee mug for sure, and a poster and maybe a pillow for the living room sofa (my wife may object to that one).

Yep I’m updating social media tonight and tomorrow and will end another email blast.

I think the switch is good, and I’m glad to hear you’ve good experience with their products.

These are all really interesting ideas. Are you planning on also selling them at conventions and stuff like that? :blush:

Nah, it would be cost prohibitive for me to keep an inventory. I opened the online store precisely to avoid keeping an inventory and so that a third-party would handle order processing, shipping, etc.

And I won’t do another convention until/unless I have a physical CCH novel to sell.

EDITED TO ADD: Plus I just found a 20% off coupon code, (yay!) so there’s no way I could ever beat those prices when you factor that in.

Would that be a straightforward story with the same setting and characters, or an actual, choose your own adventure style replica of the CCH game? I imagine something like that would be really complicated, but I’ve seen it done before. :grin:

Almost certainly a straightforward novel. I would want/need to differentiate it from the HG version of the story. It would also let me focus on strengthening my actual writing without worrying about game mechanics. But I have a feeling that going from writing an interactive novel to writing a regular novel is a very hard process.

(oh and I found a 25% off coupon today)
