Aiela and Dr. Rafkin present the shirt

The Wild Basin Expedition t-shirt is an item that at a first look might seem like a joke.

Description[edit]

The confusion comes from that fact that it is advertised in the Ultimate Adventures Magazine of Savage Empire in a rather humorous manner by Dr. Rafkin and Aiela, who looks really embarrassed to wear so much clothing (considering what she usually wears). Origin was known for such jokes, especially considering how the book was made up.

However, the T-shirt is a real piece of merchandise, and the ad genuine. It was a cotton T-shirt available in S, M, L, XL. The front read: "Wild Basin Expedition." The back reads: "I conquered the Savage Empire," together with a picture of a tyrannosaurus rex. The original list price was $12.95, including shipping.

This item was advertised first in the 1990-91 Origin catalog included with many copies of Ultima VI, which came out before Savage Empire, albeit not by much.
