Customer Spotlight: Brian Basler

You can run from Laelaps, but you can’t hide. Laelaps will find you.

“The Laelaps was a hunting dog in (Greek) mythology that was said to be able to hunt any prey,” explained Brian Basler. 

For Basler, the mythological dog was the perfect symbol for a game for him and his friends, and he wanted to put it on a custom patch.

Patches for the Crew

“I have been running a tabletop RPG (role playing game) for friends involving a futuristic sci-fi horror setting. the patch for The Laelaps (pronounced “lee laps”) is a prop and fun gift for my players,” he said. “In the game’s setting, the players are part of a ship's crew investigating an anomaly far out in the Kuiper belt where a horrifying discovery awaits investigation. 

The team are on a company vessel called the Laelaps. In the horror story, they are a salvage crew for hire with a few research staff on board when they get a message to investigate a space station that went missing 100 years prior. The scenario is very Alien meets Event Horizon.”

Although he had ordered custom products such as mugs and posters from other vendors, Basler had never ordered patches before. A web search led him to our Patches4Less.com division.

“I wanted a good physical prop for my friends to wear, and that definitely added a lot of fun and quality to the gaming experience,” he said. “The pricing, and quality looked like a good choice for a series of patched I wanted with my specific design.”

Our combination of great service, top quality product and fair pricing won him over.

“I was very blown away by just how great the finished product looked. The colors were great, ironed on easy, and the shipping was as fast and smooth as I could have asked for,” he said. “Was very happy it came with a few extra patches as well, which made my day. My friends/ players loved them and are going to add them to a hat, jacket, bag, etc.”

He's sold on buying from Patches4Less.com.

”I would order (again) in a heartbeat for any custom patch need I may have in the future. Can’t think of anything that could have been smoother/better.”
