Would a squirrel reference make you more likely to buy a new product?

[radferth]

I would only be tempted by a squirel-themed product if it concerned playing actual rodents like some kind of Rats of Nymh d20.

Would the presence of a squirrel reference in a new product -- for example, new squirrel familiar stats, a dire squirrel animal companion, a Figurine of Wondrous Squirrel Power, the hidden tribe of Squirrel Folk, etc. -- make you more likely to buy that product?

And if not, please try to explain your stupid reason. Go ahead. Just try.

Shouldnt topics like this be over in Nutkinland? At least over there the intent IS to waste everyones time with what is posted.

In World of Warcraft I kill EVERY Squirrel I see, they have an evil plan to take over the world with their innocuous chittering....

My Hat of Skwirrels know no bounds.

Definately not. I can still remember the enemy wizard who got overbeared by 44 squirrels summoned from a scroll, who then had to suffer the party thief sitting astride his pinned down form and stabbing him until she got through his stoneskin and killed him. Definately no squirrels!!

And for the record, yes that really happened in one of my old 2E campaigns!

1. Huh? Where? Wha--? ... This falls under the overlapping categories of "Sharing Amusing Antecdotes" and "Creative Conceptualizations," ya grumpy ol' fart.
2. Thanks for contributing to the waste of time. Sucked ya in, didn't it?

I've used half-black dragon squirrels in my game before.

Not DIRE squirrels, just your standard Fox Squirrel/Black Dragon Hybrid.

I mean, that happens all the time right? Young, Innocent Black Dragon is seduced by that bad-boy squirrel from the other side of the tracks. Volatile passions ensue in a tragic, star crossed tale of boundless passion until....

The dragon gets hungry & eats the squirrel for a snack, only to find she has been left with egg.

Really, imagine how much better Romeo & Juliet would have been if one had been a small, acrobatic rat with a better tail, and the other a massive killing machine bent on killing all in her path.

Plus, seeing your players' reaction when a bunch of squirrels breathe a cone of acid at them are the moments DM's LIVE for.

Ohhhhhh. Awakened Celetial Half-Dragon Squirrel Monks. My players shall curse you now.

PS. I have also unleashed Awakened Chicken Monks of Hastur on my party. My wife then told me I couldn't DM after taking a double shot of cold medicine.

No, because squirrels are not geeky enough. Make it a wombat, and maybe I'll be interested.

What about squirrelbats?

What about squirrelbats?

or the Foxsquirrel like they have in Fla.

 

[Wombat]

What, no "Maybe" option?

Squirrels -- I have no strong feelings for or against...

You know, this had never occurred to me before. But now the issue has been raised - yes. Yes it would. That's amazing, How did you know?
Is this a random poll, or is there a squirrel-related product on the horizon? Which space should I watch?
