I’m glad the shield read as a taunt. Sometimes abstract ideas don’t read as well when they get turned into art. The idea of a taunting shield just made me laugh, though, so it was too much fun not to try. …it was originally going to read “UR MOM” instead of a face, but the face was more fun.

…and if it tossed out taunts like Star Control 2′s Pkunk pilots, oh, man, that would be a shield I’d use at every opportunity.

Sorry for the delay, but we’re not a business, just a couple guys who like this kind of stuff and want to wear it ourselves.

I can’t wait to get our son a shirt with the picture on it. It’s just too cool… I LOVE that fricken’ shield, THAT is what is missing from WoW, IMO.

I know that for a lot of people, items that look like that shield would blow the immersion and willing suspension of disbelief, but for me, part of the enjoyment of Dungeons and Dragons in pen and paper was throwing in the odd items designed by some mad, eccentric flake/geek with far too much time on his hands, made mad with knowing things man was not meant to know of, wot.

Things like Pink Bunny Slippers of foot comfort, +5, one of my characters’ most prized possessions for years. Or, in this case, the Shield of Taunting, which is how Tesh’s shield looks to me, which, if in WoW, should certainly give you a +5% to threat generation towards any enemy of mid-range intelligence.

Especially if the Shield tossed out smart-assed insults every now and then.
