Goblins Rule!

I completely agree! Why did you guys change the wording? Now it makes less sense. Using "be" in the rest of the poem only to change it in the last line is just odd. I had to say "no" because of it.I voted for the Goblins. But as stated above:
[nitpick] I'm disappointed that the final line of the goblin song on the t-shirt was changed to "we the goblins - you the food!"
I much prefer "we be goblins - you be food!" [/nitpick]
Don't worry, we will use the "we be goblins - you be food" text if there are enough pledges for the shirt. But I am not going to ask the art directors to change the text for the image on the website, because they are really, really busy right now. So don't worry, the text will be the one that you know from Burnt Offerings.
Thanks!

OK, I broke down. Although I'm not crazy about black, those Goblins are just too awsome.
omg hai 2 evry1!!!
Stopping in with my own feedback:
- I did not vote. Is PayPal a viable payment option yet? I may vote-pledge in later offers if it is.
- The Goblin design is awesome and I want it. I don't want it on the front of the shirt. Because then I end up staring at the people staring at my shirt. I'm more likely to buy something with a graphic on the back than the front.
- In extension to that, I'm more likely to buy a zip-up hoodie than a t-shirt.
- I'm more likely to buy tones and shades of either green or blue than white, black, grey, or other colours.
- Can it be sold in some other format instead? I'm thinking something that can be pinned up around the office and ordered in small collections, but not a calendar because that's just lame and cliché.
Anything for Canadian customers?
PayPal barfed on me when I tried getting the service. :/
My vote is for the goblin t-shirt (especially since I missed out on the older version).
1. I'd have to agree that the "we be goblins, you be food" is the way to go.
2. Hope the lettering is readable. Hard to tell on the picture how it'll show up on the actual shirt.
3. $25 is awfully steep and is the reason I regrettably won't be able to actually pledge to buy one. I have a hard time paying even $15 for a t-shirt and if I do, it has to be a high quality shirt that'll last. I can get a good dress shirt for $25! If the color is causing the price increase, go back to a single color image and perhaps a different shirt color (a nice sage...er, goblin green?)
4. I do like the idea of letting people vote and give feedback before you offer a product.
I have kids and the white shows stains to well and my wife has a white cat and the blacks show that too. I would much prefer other colors or a light gray or something neutral. But would buy goblins and fighter.
I know this wouldn't fly, but the style and design I would prefer would be a collared shirt with a simple design on one of the breasts. Something like the Pathfinder RotRL star symbol or something else neutral that would be appropriate for work. I keep a vest at work to hide many of my inappropriate heavy metal shirts (on the days I forget), so adding something with just a cool symbol would be great.
Unfortunately, the price break for something like this of quality would be ~$40-50, so I don't see it in the future at all - but I can dream, can't I?

Good news, everyone!
We've received enough pledges for all three designs, so all three shirts are now available for preorder!
Paizo Golem T-Shirt
Pathfinder: Goblins T-Shirt
Pathfinder: Valeros (Fighter) T-Shirt
We'll collect preorders for a little while so that we can get estimates of the popularity of each size, and then we'll have them printed for you, so it will be a few weeks before they're available.

... I would much prefer other colors or a light gray or something neutral...Me, too.
Me three, actually. We will experiment with other t-shirt colors for the next designs. However, in my years in the game industry, any t-shirt color other than black is the mark of death. Guess we will find out with our other t-shirt color experiment. If you want to see more non-black t-shirts, then please order our non-black t-shirts when we put them out. Otherwise, I will be doomed to a shelf of black t-shirts. <sniff>

How will the T-shirt pre-orders work with the Pathfinder subscriber discount? I know you want pre-orders so you know how many to order and in what size, but can we still get the subscriber discount (which usually does not apply to pre-ordered items)?
I just ordered and got a discount. Your mileage may vary.

The discount's showing up on my order too... The only problem I'm having is the shipping. $8.85 by USPS?!? Huh? Is the shirt made out of lead? I mean, 9 bucks? For USPS?
I checked on this and here is what I got.
These shirts cost the same as others on paizo.com
They are over a pound and not bound printed matter.
Because of that it kicks the package into a category not convenient, nor inexpensive, to ship.

As a side note about the shipping, and just to encourage Paizo sales, if you end up ordering two of the shirts and having them ship together, the shipping costs barely change at all.
I guess since one of them bumps it into a larger category, adding the second one's weight doesn't change too much. Shipping for both mine together was still only $8.33

Then can I just combine it with my normal Pathfinder subscription for the month? I mean, yeah, that'll kick it up to 8.85 as normal, but that's basically just 4.50 more than the normal monthly shipping total.

We've added more accurate shipping weights to the shirts. That, combined with the fact that postal rates have changed as of today, means that the shipping costs on the shirts have changed—in many (or even most?) cases, for the better.
...can I just combine it with my normal Pathfinder subscription for the month?
Currently, you can't add non-subscription products to subscription shipments, but it's in the works for the future!

$6.49's quite a bit better than the previous just shy of $9. Still wish there was a way to combine any and all orders from Paizo in with the normal subscription shipments, though.
We're working on it. But there is no time table. However, it is near the top of the list if we can ever get some unfettered time for Gary to program. <sigh>

Sadly, less than 30% of the people who pledged their support for the Valeros T-shirt actually placed an order for it; that's not enough to break even on the cost, so we have canceled it.
The Golem and Goblins T-shirts, which will each be limited to a single print run, will be available in July.

Can we shift orders for Valeros to goblins, or will extra shirts be printed other than pre-orders?

I'm sorry to hear that. I pledged but have been unable to preorder due to some temporary financial difficulties.
Maybe next time around... :(

We're printing more than just the preorders.
WTF! NO Zombies?!? I feel so unloved.
Otherwise, I'd pick the goblin t-shirt.
Just to let you know Aberzombie, if your ugly mug every finds it way onto a shirt, black or white, I'll buy it.
I concur. Undead! Undead! Undead! Also, I really like the paizo logo shirt, but could we get it in grey?
