[Welcome Crooks and Liars visitors!  Please don't spill Mountain Dew on the sofa and help yourself to the Cheetos.]

UPDATE: There is now also a Facebook group and a Hardcore Nerdity group devoted to the Pro-Obama Dungeons & Dragons Crowd.

UPDATE #2: I’ve created a Flickr set with all of the related art that has been proffered to me so far. Feel free to keep making images!

It’s official.  Thanks to some initiative-taking readers (or perhaps someone totally unrelated to this blog… I’m still not sure), the “Pro-Obama Dungeons and Dragons Crowd” group has been created at MyBarackObama.com.  Go there now and join.  While you’re at it, give the big O some money.  We even have not one, but two completely awesome logos, made by McE and Beth, respectively… w00t!

    Great logos!! Any thought of turning them into a T-shirt, say CafePress or something? I’m sure they’d sell.

    You all better watch out – John McCain now has no choice but to unleash his new special interest group, the “McCAIN LAWNCHAIR GARDEN HOSE BRIGADE”. They have their own anthem too, [to the tune "Hurt"]:

    I hurt myself today
    just getting out of bed
    I focus on the yard
    the weeds begun to spread
    The kids have now come back
    they needle me all day
    I shout at them to leave
    Then I remember what to say:

    What have you become,
    my sweetest yard?
    All these rotten kids
    just make my life so hard
    I will give to them
    Not one inch of dirt
    I will hose them down
    I will make them HURT.

    I have a used original series of D&D manuals and I think the original owner name scratched out looks to be “Mikey Goldfarb.”

    I love the D20 logo. A lot.

    The 13 on the D20 is wrong. It is a mirror image or the one is upside down. The placement of the 12 nad 14 do not match the other numbers, the numbers aligning with an edge of a facet on the die.

    The other logo is great.

    I’ve never played D & D, but I think it’s bizarre that someone would generalize about an entire group of people whose only apparent similarity is their interest in a certain pastime. Then again, it seems that quite a lot of McCain supporters are pretty openly jingoistic. You know, thinking that being a Mexican, or Muslim, or gay, etc., is a bad thing.

    So now, I think it’s great that all you D & D enthusiasts, who I’m sure have many different viewpoints are uniting in support for Obama.

    Best wishes!

    (And D&D Numbers Guy: You have an awesome attention to detail!)

    Good luck guys and gals!

    Just be ready to make another saving throw vs. smear (level 20)

  12. What do you think of this logo?

  13. Here’s my contribution. Can’t sell it because it usees Obama’s trademarked O, but you can download it and make a CafePress and/or Zazzle shirt out of it.
