Somewhere between accepting the optional mission and running for your life, the side quest got slightly out of hand.

The “This Was Supposed to Be a Side Quest” T-Shirt captures that familiar tabletop moment when a harmless detour becomes the most dangerous—and memorable—part of the campaign. Its richly detailed pulp-adventure artwork features a terrified explorer fleeing an ancient temple while an enormous stone D20 barrels after him. Naturally, the die has rolled a critical failure.

Designed in the distinctive vintage style of the Grand Adventurers Club, this full-color illustrated tee is made for tabletop gamers, game masters, dice collectors, and anyone whose party has ever ignored the main objective.
