You Can Certainly Try Shirt

There is a specific kind of power in these four words. When someone proposes a terrible idea—like seducing a dragon, fixing a complex machine with a hammer, or arguing with you before you’ve had your coffee—you don’t stop them. You simply smile and say, “You can certainly try.”

This shirt captures that moment of confident, passive-aggressive bliss. It is the catchphrase of Dungeon Masters everywhere (famously popularized by Critical Role’s Matthew Mercer), but it has transcended the tabletop to become a universal slogan for sarcastic people. It implies that while the action is physically possible, the consequences will likely be disastrous. It is a warning label disguised as permission.

Printed on a durable heavy cotton tee, this shirt is your armor against stupidity. It’s perfect for game nights, office meetings where bad ideas are being discussed, or family gatherings where you just want to sit back and watch the chaos unfold. Wear it to let the world know that you aren’t responsible for what happens next—you just set the Difficulty Class.

FAQ – PRODUCT SPECIFIC

Is this a Dungeons & Dragons reference? It is heavily associated with D&D and tabletop RPG culture (specifically as a DM’s response to a player’s wild idea), but it works perfectly as general sarcasm too.

Is the text easy to read? Yes, the design typically uses a clear, serif or fantasy-style font to ensure the warning is visible from across the table (or room).

Is this shirt considered aggressive? We prefer the term “realistically optimistic.” You aren’t saying they can’t do it; you’re just implying they probably shouldn’t.
