Marcello Kiernan Character Card + Merchandise Ideas Request
Added 2024-03-18 22:00:03 +0000 UTCBio: By day, Grandmaster Kiernan is the head of the History Department at Lenore's famed Thaumaturgic University. By night, he moonlights as a key member in the subversive thaumaturgical society, The Architects of Khronos. He believes himself to be more sneaky and subtle than he actually is, and is willing to make questionable deals to achieve his goals.
Hey guys! As I mentioned previously, I would like to create some PGTS-themed swag/merchandise. Stuff like notebooks, stickers, or even stuff like mugs or shirts/hoodies. And then some of this will be rewards for future engagement challenges. :)
I want to set up a poll to see what people might like, but before that...
Can you give me your ideas about what you'd like to see? Specifically, any particular IMAGES or QUOTES you might like on merchandise.
For example, quote: "I serve the Raven Queen."
Or for an image: "Siobhan's personal glyph" or "Empress Regal looking cool"
Or whatever other ideas you have. If you have an idea of something you'd like to own, let me know.
Next Character Card: Liza, coming Thursday 3/21.

I would get shirts with either of these quotes. 😂 ‘Observe, a wild example of the contraceptive personality, in its natural habitat.’ -“I’m not broke. I’m merely experiencing a temporary inversion in my ratio of income versus expenses,”

2024-03-21 17:43:18 +0000 UTCThe personal glyph is something i’ve been looking forward to for a long time. I’ve only really bought swag from media that is: T-Shirts, keychains, bottle openers (Nuka Cola) jewelry (time turner specifically) and mugs. I make mugs now, so there is no chance I’d buy one.

2024-03-21 02:45:42 +0000 UTCI'd love some jewelry, like earrings with raven's feather's, or the amulet that Siobhan wears.

2024-03-19 21:22:39 +0000 UTCI miss reading PGTS so much. Here are my suggestions for merch: - Umbrella inspired by the spell rod (or stickers to make a transparent umbrella look cool with spell circles or something) - Empress plushie - Coasters set with glyphs or spells - Posters in the style of botanical books that illustrate spell components and their use - Tshirts and hoodies. Especially if they are suitable for a casual office style - Siobhan's amazing transformation makeup set (real makeup set or a themed small bag/box for applying makeup on the go) - Replicas of Siobhan's necklace, ring, conduits - Siobhan's school bag - Big cardboard cutout or sticker of the Raven Queen's shadow that I could put in a corner to scare people. Or one of these tiny flashlights (torches) that fit on a keychain with cutout that would produce the shadow's shape.

2024-03-19 12:22:13 +0000 UTCI think Tshirt is the best. I prefer symbols to quotes. Maybe some of the more iconic spell arrays or Siobhan's symbol?

2024-03-19 07:30:52 +0000 UTCHi Azalea. Will you be releasing the character cards in another version? I debated with myself whether to mention it, but I'm having a hard time reading the text and am just giving up midway reading through each card. I think it's a combination of the font, the spacing and the all-caps in that color against the background that makes the words blend together for me

2024-03-19 06:22:36 +0000 UTCFunny quotes on stickers/mugs/ect. Artwork on clothes or bigger items. I love Mikes idea of the raven queen or an aberrant on a shirt. Other quote ideas? You have way too many funny things to choose from in your books, this is what I found in book 1 in 5 minutes: -“I have the Will” -“Are you arguing with a commoner in public? And losing?” -“How often have I seen a man walking past and wondered if he was really a magically disguised woman? Never, so calm down.’” -‘Observe, a wild example of the contraceptive personality, in its natural habitat.’ -“I’m not broke. I’m merely experiencing a temporary inversion in my ratio of income versus expenses,” -‘There’s no future in telling your nominal superior they are being an ass. It may be true, but people, as a rule, do not cope well with unpleasant truths.’ And so many colorful insults, how could I choose?

2024-03-19 00:12:14 +0000 UTCTShirts, as long as they are soft and comfy. I prefer artwork to quotes. An aberrant, or the raven queen turning into a flock of ravens or maybe a spell array.

2024-03-18 23:10:18 +0000 UTCI would go for a T-Shirt with a runic theme. Incidentally, there is a typo in the character card. 'Thaumatergic Tniversity'

2024-03-18 22:41:41 +0000 UTCAs someone who makes merch for a living I will say the things I most often see are symbols such as the deathly hallows from Harry potter, Angelic Rune from City of Bones, Human Transmutation symbol from Fullmetal Alchemist. I would say try and create a unique, cool looking symbol/glyph that people would recognize and associate with your books. From there you can make keychains, necklaces, Pins etc of it. Would roughly cost $150-300 for 100 pieces. Or you could look into 3d printing it and making it for pennies. Feel free to reach out if you want to talk shop about it.

2024-03-18 22:18:09 +0000 UTCIt’s really funny that I put Sir Patrick Stewart’s face on grandmaster Kiernan when it turned out he looks a lot like him.
