T-Shirt Spotlight: Our First Fantasy RPG/Dungeons & Dragons T-Shirt!

First introduced at FallCon 2022 (our local con in here in Calgary), our new Circle of Fate first RPG t-shirt is also our first t-shirt in partnership with an external artist! Scott A. Ford is an artist located in Winnipeg up here in Canada. (You can find his other work on his website here.)

I was first exposed to Scott’s artwork when I got his graphic novel Ark Land from the library to read to my kids. Later, our paths crossed at Calgary Expo where I was impressed with his cool video game artwork (I highly recommend his Hollow Knight print) and realized that his style would work great for a t-shirt design. It wasn’t until after we had chatted for awhile that I realized he was also behind Ark Land, and I knew I wanted to work with the guy.

From the start, we knew we wanted an RPG-focused design that encapsulated that feel of a fate system: behind the scenes dice controlling the impending failure or success of the party. We also were looking for lots of action and lots & lots of impending doom, and the final design delivered. (Personal favorites include the owlbear and the mimic.)
