a realistic Inchoroi toy under the Christmas tree
I never bought a figurine but I swear by the Hundred that I would buy a fucking whole horde of sranc if available.
I assumed this thread was intended to be tongue-in-cheek. For the record, I am strongly against anybody selling Second Apocalypse merchandise against the express wishes of Bakker himself. Just printing some T-shirts for personal use would be OK, I think. But the moment actual money is involved, I think that crosses a line.Plenty of tongue-in-cheekery around, but no, I assume this thread is 100% serious.
What line is crossed, and why? But what if it serves the greater good - couple of t-shirts and a sranc figurine funding all of Bakker's future writing?Making money out of somebody else's intellectual property in violation of their wishes is immoral. It is no different from theft as far as I'm concerned.
I asked him in the AMA how he'd feel about replica chorae in titanium or steel or even in something darker like zircon. He did not answer me. I'd still really love a chorae.

Obviously, if Bakker says it's OK to sell stuff in order to cover the costs of running this site, then that is a different matter.Just making the argument. I have no real interest, and the costs are paltry such as they are.
unless he consents, his world is not yours to sell.I very much like this line. You're quite quotable, Duskweaver :) .
Sranc faction is totally OP. Needs balancing in the next patch.
Earwa TW would have been fucking awesome and it doesn't piss me off like the current Warhammer TW.

HAHAHAH
The good thing is the traditional poor AI would not be a problem for the sranc faction, they are fucking crazy rapers so why bother about strategy at all.
It's a pity that he doesn't do more about promotion or merchandise. With a little effort (and I think this is a matter more of his agents than of Bakker himself), the sales will increase a lot. Nowadays a solid social media presence is fundamental.The only thing you need is a facebook profile and maybe a twitter that announces new books, previews and blog essays. You don't have to ask your readers to donate to your patreon or like and subscribe like some youtubing douchebag, you just have to announce things.
Not having that in mind it is a problem.
Obviously. I hope he consent. And why not doing more promotion of his books or at least let others keep his page actualized?

Imagine that! A thousand mini-Sranc, drowning the (kitchen table) horizon, the shadow of the (ceiling-mounted lamp-)Horns falling on them...
Anb black seed everywhere.
I always find it fascinating how obsessed people are with this topic, and that it seems to be a funny joke each time its said (though for me its always like 'that guy' you know that still thinks 'your mom' jokes are funny)....
... Eesh.
Now I am thinking about a t-shirt with a smiling Stalin and the phrase "Where you fall as fodder, I descend as hunger."

Btw, if you are interested, you should check out Malazan, one of the books fairly drips with the stuff (Reaper's Gale I believe).

Now *there's* a series which disappeared up its own arse. Read all the Erikson main sequence ones, which were excellent up to book 5, then increasingly self - indulgent until the end. The Esslemont ones were just dreadful.

I basically agree with you, but I think that especially the first five books contain good epic stuff that make the whole series readable.
Second Apocalypse? The Ancient Aliens did it!Picture of an Inchoroi instead of the History channel "Aliens!" guy.

This. For some reason, everybody who mentions the books anywhere MUST also accompany it with a Black Seed mention, even though it's a very minor part of the story.I always find it fascinating how obsessed people are with this topic, and that it seems to be a funny joke each time its said (though for me its always like 'that guy' you know that still thinks 'your mom' jokes are funny)....

Other than a hundred or so bookmarks, all I've got is a shirt from Disciple of the Dog that says "I'd rather be masturbating".

You can build a thousand bridges, but you spill a little black seed once in a while and forever are you "The Black Seed Guy."
You win the game by keeping Athjeari alive through to the end.

Ultimate difficulty mode: Kellhus dies in the wasteland, and you must seize the Holy Warband Leweth.lol. Just a bunch of hours of gameplay of you getting killed over and over by Mek. "wakes up, starts running, *dies - arrow*. Wakes up, starts running *dies - sranc*. Wakes up, starts running *dies - cold (forgot jacket)*. Wakes up, ok fuck this lets fight *dies - magic*"

Has anybody ever made any shirts related to the Second Apocalypse? Or anything really? I would be very willing to straight up throw cash where I can find anything related to these series.

Yes, there are several TSA shirts out there. Making a shirt is pretty easy, just google "make a custom shirt" or some nonsense, load some text or an imagine, print.
There's nowhere to buy an 'official' shirt or other swag because Bakker has no shop, and therefore no way to funnel funds to him via these purchases. We are forced to give our money to undeserving places not associated with TSA/Bakker.

Why, at least MG and I wore shirts directly to the series over the weekend.
Also, though it is definitely as easy to make and order custom shirts as Wilshire mentions, a redditor has experimented with a few pretty good ones (https://www.reddit.com/r/bakker/comments/6tiwij/tshirts/).
And Thing called Sarcellus long ago offered his t-shirt making connections/services here.
