A TSR SHOP!?!?!?!? AMAZING!
T-shirts, hats, mouse mats, now that would be cool.

I would buy one. Actually, I wouldn't, because my mouse is actually a tablet, but if I had an actual mouse I would.

And I'd so but a T-shirt. Or maybe a CD with say, every Zelda sprite so far. I know it's a fail idea, but some peple would rather do it that save every one.

Dazz can't do anything with a store if the goods have items copyrighted by game companies on them. Every game company would then sue Dazz and get this place shut down if he tried to sell anything that infringed on the game companies' copyrights.
I don't see a store doing any good here. The only way Dazz can make money is either through donations or advertising. There's nothing that says Dazz has to use standard advertising either. He could open it up to take advertising requests from the public. Like if you have a site you want to plug, you can pay Dazz for the right to have the site plugged on tSR.
RE: A New tSR? - Lemon - 01-25-2009
Yeah, but we could get T-shirts with TSR logo on and the mascot or whatever.
RE: A New tSR? - King of Bad Posters - 01-26-2009
But hell need money to make shirts to sell... He can sell his hair!!!
RE: A New tSR? - Dazz - 01-27-2009
Hell fucking no am I selling my do.
I could probably set up some kind of shop, but I doubt many people would buy anything. I could be wrong though - I'll look into it later.
As for CDs and such, Ngamer is right. I can't sell other people's stuff.
However, I can sell custom sprites on t-shirts and such, thus the custom work can come through. Obviously I'd ask the creator's permission first.
I'm very picky on designs though.
In order to sell the mascots, we need to implement them, so that's not going to work for a while

You should sell dazz plushies or something like that

Totally. I would love a Dazz plushie.

I doubt the older people who visit/use this site care enough to buy merchandise.
The younger people might, but it's not like they're allowed to buy things online.
The shop would be a failure.

I'd stick with searching with a job but with the economy running slow its going to be hard I'm too looking for one.....

you'd be surprised. I've got a bunch of friends who come here for sprites all the time and would give anything for a tSR shirt.
RE: A New tSR? - Ultimecia - 02-01-2009
Yeah, small stuff like t-shirts, mugs, pen, keychains... It might actually be a good idea to help maintain the site.

Years ago, Psyguy got a cease and desist order for selling stuff with "original" remixed sounds and "custom" sprites. So no and no.
You still could try using a Paypal account to accept voluntary donations, but for what I've seen (and I've seen a lot) any kind of online stores regarding *any* stuff relationed with sprites and videogames is not only unreliable but also risky.

If not, then I don't see why it would be a problem. Freedom of expression, and it's not hurting anybody
