Gen Con!

We've been busy launching and growing our Con*Quest Adventure Journal™ business over the last several months and moving toward journal-focused shows and events. BUT this week at Gen Con will be one of the few opportunities to pick up One Less Nemesis tees and merch at a show! We are bringing our 8 top designs, along with Supernatural bracelets, Tardis Key and charm necklaces and Walking Dead watches and Funko plushies. We're in booth 1954 so get to our booth early to check out the best selection of merch and sizes before they're gone!

We are also offering a free photo-op with a Weeping Angel! The angel will be in the booth from 11 am to 1 pm on Saturday 8-16.

DON'T BLINK


We have our Con*Quest Adventure Journals up for pre-order. If you'd like to order, you can pre-order Gen Con, Chicago Wizard World and NYCC journals and bags (for $5 off show price) in our One Less Nemesis Etsy shop.

Stop by and see us at Gen Con in booth 1954 and get your picture with the Weeping Angel on Saturday 8/16 at 11 am!

See you at the show!

Gen Con Reward Level on Kickstarter!

We love Gen Con and had the most awesome show last year as first time exhibitors! This year we are excited to bring our Con*Quest Adventure Journals to the show for the very first time. So we created a Gen Con reward level on our Kickstarter! Pledge $30 (that's $10 less than our normal retail!) or more and you get a journal and bag, for easy pick up at the show in our One Less Nemesis booth 1954! Due to popular demand, we added 100 more journals to this reward! Check it out and pledge if you can, we’d love for you to have a journal to capture every single moment of Gen Con, August 14-17 at the Indiana Convention Center!

Our Con*Quest Adventure Journal Kickstarter!


Ted and I have been in business together for five years, building the One Less™ Nemesis t-shirt brand and going to lots and lots of conventions. We’ve been to industry trade shows, Star Trek conventions and comic cons both large and small. I left each show with bags and envelopes and folders of my autographs, photo-ops and signed comics and put them in a closet. Those funny cosplay pictures stayed on our phones, never being laughed at again.

Then in January of 2014, while at a comic con, we walked past a journal booth and a photo sleeve booth and said to each other: why hasn’t anyone every made a journal especially designed for comic cons? Big enough for the photo-ops, with enough room to stick pictures all over the pages? And then when fans are standing in line or at a panel, they can take notes and write funny stuff down? We should do this! So we  did. The Con*Quest Adventure Journal™ debuted in March of 2014. Handcrafted in the US with completely original artwork designed especially for comic con fans, it’s the place to stick, stuff and journal your con adventure.

We want to take this business to the next level and we need your help. Please check out our Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, support us if you can and tell everyone you know about it. We know this is the next big thing. And we'd love for you to be there with us, every step of the way.

The blast that was Gen Con

Wow, what a great show we had! This was our best event to date and we couldn't be happier. The people in Indianapolis have always been good to us (that might be why I call it my home.) In fact, one of our most successful Creation Entertainment Twilight conventions was the Indy con.

One of the best things to happen at Gen Con (aside from selling lots of t-shirts, lanyards, Zoms and Star Trek Insignia pins) was all of the great feedback we received. We've been doing this long enough now to see the patterns of how people check out our designs and our brand. There is often a small crowd around our booth and they're all reading each shirt carefully, chuckling to themselves and pointing out their favorite designs to their companions. What was even more awesome this time was that we had a lot of people then tell us how funny/awesome/smart/hilarious our brand, concepts and designs are. We have always thought so, but it sure is a great feeling to hear it over and over again from people seeing us for the first time. Thanks to Gen Con and thanks to Indianapolis for an amazing show! We CAN'T WAIT for Gen Con 2014!

Below is a picture diary of the event. Set-up seemed more challenging than many we've done in the past (we really only had one day to do it and that's just not enough) but tear down was faster and smoother! At least we were winning at one end because we've certainly had shows where both sucked :)

Our next show is Wizard World Ohio September 20 - 22, come out and see us!

D&D or Settlers of Catan? Help us design our new gamer shirt!

We are going to be in the vendor hall at GenCon Indianapolis for the first time ever August 15 to 18! We are stoked for this event and our chance to meet all of the gamer fans who come from around the globe to take part in the biggest event in gaming.

To celebrate our first GenCon, we are designing a new game inspired t-shirt. We've gotten great suggestions for two different tees: A Dungeons & Dragons design and a Settlers of Catan design. We need your help to decide which one you think would be the most popular and sellable design at the show. Take our poll and help us out!
