UPDATE: This aired on Monday the 18th, so the final day has kinda passed.
If you’re ordering Schlock Mercenary merchandise, and you need it delivered by Christmas, you must place that order today, and choose Priority mail as the shipping option.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
There has been quite a bit of noise on social media regarding the spoiler content in reviews of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, so I’ll be even less specific than I usually am when reviewing things that might easily be spoiled.
I saw Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Yay! Good Star Wars movie. Better than the previous two (which is a reasonably high bar to clear) and much better than the three that came before those (but that’s a very low bar.) Comparisons with the original trilogy are probably not useful, but if I had to sit down in front of a Star Wars movie again, right now, it would be this one.
That’s it for now.
Do You Design T-Shirts?
UPDATE: We have the applications we need! Thank you for your interest.
Sandra and I are looking to engage the services of a designer for a new round of Schlock Mercenary t-shirts. This will be a work-for-hire project that pays a flat fee for each design, plus a slice of the purchase price for each shirt sold.
We want awesome designs that will work well with silk-screening, discharge printing, and other fabric-related technologies. Familiarity with Schlock Mercenary is not required, but is always kind of nice. For scheduling purposes, the bulk of the work will be done during January of 2018.
Applicants should email schlockmercenary@gmail.com with samples of their work and a short resume that highlights experience in this space. A link to an online art portfolio is a plus. We’ll be accepting applications through December 30th, or until the position has been filled.
Merchandise, And The Unapologetic Plugging Thereof
We’d like to draw your attention to some merchandise and end-of-year deals that may align with your holiday gift giving plans:
- Our Twelve Book Bundle is always a good pick.
- Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries is a great gift for the Schlock fan in your life. We have both Pristine and Defaced editions.
- If you’re purchasing for a child age 2-9, we have Hold on to Your Horses and Strength of Wild Horses.
- For RPG fans, we have a Planet Mercenary Bundle and discounted copies of Xtreme Dungeon Mastery. There is also the full array of Planet Mercenary items.
As Sandra was cleaning up our storage space, she found odds and ends of old merchandise. There weren’t enough of any one item to list them in the store, so we created the Schlock Mystery Box. For $25 you get $40-$70 of randomly selected Schlock merchandise, much of which is not available elsewhere. We also created a vinyl sticker grab bag for $10, and a small print grab bag for $5.
And of course you can always go browsing to fill in whichever Schlock books are missing from your collection. There are even PDF versions of the books for those who want their Schlock more portable.
Thank you so much for all of your support this past year.
