The Really Cool Shirt is a special type of T-shirt that appears in TNNT (the game). It is the reward for completing the DevTeam Office quest.

It is one of the few guaranteed shirts in TNNT besides the Tourist's starting Hawaiian shirt and the shirt carried by the deathmatch opponent.

Generation

The Really Cool Shirt is only given as a reward for completing the DevTeam Office quest, and will revert to a normal T-shirt if found in a bones file.

Description

The Really Cool Shirt acts as a luckstone while carried, and provides warning while worn. The shirt also has "ever-shifting text": each time you read it, there is a 49⁄50 chance that it will read a random rumor according to its beatitude: true only if blessed, false only if cursed, or either if uncursed.[1] If the Shirt's enchantment becomes negative, it will stop showing shifting rumor text and displays the same YAFM all the time.[2]

History

The Really Cool Shirt is first added in 2018, and from that year to 2025, it is an artifact that grants warning and is treated as a luck item while worn. Starting in 2026, it is simply treated as a special T-shirt.

I ran errands for the DevTeam and all I got was this lousy T-shirt!
You read the negatively-enchanted Really Cool Shirt.[2]
I explored the Dungeons of Doom, and all I got was this Really Cool Shirt!
This has a 1⁄50 chance to appear when you read the Really Cool Shirt with a non-negative enchantment.[1]

Encyclopedia entry

Little is known about this strange garment. It is said that it comes from outside this dimension, brought here by the strange and unknown beings who created the world. It is inscribed with a large spiral symbol on the back, and the front constantly shimmers with shifting text.
