GDC Schedule and Zeboyd/Cthulhu Shirt

I got the official Zeboyd Games/Cthulhu Saves the World t-shirts today and I think they turned out pretty well.

Sorry for my lack of photogenic qualities! The purpose of these shirts are to make myself easy to find at Game Developer’s Conference (GDC), although if there is enough demand, we might consider making more and putting them up for sale.

Speaking of GDC, I’m very excited to be speaking this year. Our panel is from 2:00-2:50 on Friday at Room 303 in the South Hall so be sure to show up if you’re going to be at GDC.

Other than those events, my time that week is free, so if you’re a member of the media, a publisher, or a developer, and want to talk business, I’m game (unless you’re trying to sell me something I don’t need and can’t afford). If you want to set up a specific meeting time, you can email me at rdespair at gmail dot com.
