[Night Shift] What we need is...

[Finarvyn]

I've been pondering Night Shift recently and have already informed my crew that when the 5E campaign ends I'm running NS next. With this in mind I have some thoughts on what we "need" for the game. Keep in mind that Jason actually has to figure out cost and manufacture, but all I have to do it throw in ideas.

(1) A clean logo to use.

If I make any home-made character sheets or handouts for my group, I'd like to have a clean logo to plaster on it. I may have to crib the logo on the PDF and see if I can clean it up somehow in Paint. Probably a bother, but I like my handouts to have a logo on them and I have no idea what splatter font was used for the official products.

EDIT: Started tinkering already.

(2) Night Shift dice.

I have some black dice with red numbers which I call my "Ravenloft dice" that I may use, but the rulebook is a little brownish (sepia?) and not a true black, while the logo is somewhat orange and not really red. I'd love to have dice of the color to match the rulebook and logo, even if actually putting an official logo on the dice is probably too expensive.

(3) Night Shift t-shirt

At some point I hope to run NS at the local game store, and when I do it’s always best to have a t-shirt for the game to wear in order to advertise. Or, if I go to a game convention I like to advertise by wearing a shirt there. Something to ponder someday. A Google search turns up some shirts with some sort of “Night Shift” stuff on them, but mostly hospital/medical/nursing things and certainly not the logo from the game.

More if I think of them. Others can feel free to help brainstorm stuff to make Jason's life harder.

Thanks for the feedback, Marv!

Regarding the logo: A clean logo that people could crib would just encourage piracy, or at least people releasing fan supplements that they're trying to pass off as official, and I'm not looking to do that. I can't actually think of any companies that release clean logos for people to crib. The logo is part of our trademarked trade dress and legally I have to protect it or lose my trademark. That being said, no, I'm not likely to start going after online fan works which are clearly fan works. I'm not the T$R of the late 90s

Night Shift VSW dice would be badass. I totally don't have the funds for that at this point in time but it's something I wouldn't mind doing in the future!

I know the prices for some of the items are high. That's entirely Zazzle. I make less than 5-10% on every item sold. They basically charge full retail price and then I have to add on top to make anything off of the sales.
