I love it when a plan comes together: Sitting around the table, oddly shaped dice at the ready. The thief is in position, the wizard has a spell on his lips, and the fighter steadies his grip on his double-handed blade. For a moment, at least until somebody moves, they are a cohesive force.
But maybe you want something else to hold you together? A visual clue that you are heroes; that you are brethren (or sistren)? What better way could there be to bind your party tighter together than a uniform? “Uniform?” you ask, looking at my fevered jottings askance. “We’re not an army. We’re not faceless automata given to ordered killing,” you reply. “We have purpose. We have personality. We are all individuals!”
If that’s the case, UK based Games Sesh has the perfect t-shirts for your dungeoneering party. They bring coherent uniformity to the game-table, are individually tailored to your character, and look great too. All the major character types are represented, though at the moment only for fantasy games. The t-shirts are of fine quality; nice and soft after just one wash. The print is bold, bright, and well affixed. Each piece of art has at least one die represented somewhere and the t-shirts come with a free die of the same type.
The dice add a really nice touch. With my GM’s “Step into the Unknown” T-shirt, I received a good quality, very pleasing Chessex D20 (If you’ve read this far you understand the power of good dice.) Currently, it’s not possible to change the color of the t-shirt for a particular character type, but that’s something Ben at Games Sesh hopes to offer soon. Wearing our character t-shirts was great fun, adding further camaraderie to our day. They look great and should appeal to RPG geeks everywhere!

Why no female models? Women play RPGs, too.
Very true, but sadly I don’t know any, hence why my photos are all male. I know that Ben is building his range slowly, so as not to over-extend and run out of money. He’s recently added smaller sizes, and I guess if there’s demand he would add different fitting designs too.
Games Sesh selling of t-shirts is its infancy, but Ben is definitely open to constructive ideas. Drop him a line, I’m sure he’ll take your comments on board.
Hi Alex – yes sorry about the lack of female pics of the t-shirts – I used the stock shots from the Gildan site and they mostly seem to be male for that tee – even though its technically a unisex shirt. I am just starting out so I have gone for a straight forward unisex t-shirt and a good range of sizes from small through to XXL but obviously each new size means extra cost so I’m expanding as and when I can. I have published a few cool photos of women gamers wearing the tees on the Games Sesh Facebook page – sent in by individuals and groups who have loved their tees. Also I get a lot of women buying the tees so I feel reassured that they appeal to a good mix of gamers. Cheers, Ben @ GAMES SESH
