The shirt reads: “LARP CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT — 37% COMPLETE,” with a warning underneath: “PERSONALITY DLC NOT INSTALLED.”
It is drawn as a game interface panel: an ornate gold frame, a twenty-sided die at the top, potion bottles either side, a green progress bar and a row of empty hearts along the bottom.
Every element of a role-playing status screen is present and correct. The DLC line is the one that does the work, because paid downloadable content is exactly the right metaphor. For tabletop players and for anyone still at 37%.
