GAYMER/ALLY Badge Ribbons are “By Request”
It is important that the ribbons be given to individuals who expressly want them to show their pride and support. Do not distribute them to passersby, include them in general swag bags, or with unrelated material.
Distribution Must Be Controlled
You must make a reasonable effort to ensure that the ribbons are not wasted. In general, you should treat the ribbons as you would your own property or merchandise. Their distribution must be controlled or monitored in such a way that an individual can only take one. Often, individuals will ask for extra ribbons “for some friends”, please encourage them to have their friends return to you or your booth for their own.

Tabletop Gaymers Inc. claims trademarks on the stylized design of the ribbons when it incorporates the “d20” mark and/or the title “Tabletop Gaymers.” No claim is made to the terms “gaymer” or “ally”.
