Get yer beards 'ere!
« on: October 03, 2012, 05:12:55 am »
So I just read the latest catalog email from Thinkgeek.

Those quality folks have developed the latest improvement in cutting edge fashion, the beard.

Iv seen people who haven't had a redheaded person in their family for quite a while, and then out of nowhere two out of three of their children have red hair.
What color was the mailman's hair?

Sweet.

So, here's a vaguely related question I've been pondering for a while: Would it be profitable and plausible for a company like ThinkGeek to produce Dwarf Fortress-related stuff and get permission from Toady to do so? And what kind of stuff would it be?

Alcohol soakable beards.  Dip your beard into booze today!  [Think of the sponsership from bud, or Sailor Jerry's]

Go into a bar: "Hello, barkeep, I'd like a beard of rum, please.  Get me a moustache of vodka, too".

I would pay $200 for a Code Page 437 typewriter.

It would somehow have 256 keys (okay, 255 since there are two blank spaces) cut in the exact style of DF's font.

You could type up scenes from the game without a computer.

Come on, there's got to be a niche market for this, especially given how many games use the curses_640x300 font (not just DF, right?). And we have the technology to make a ridiculously complex typewriter nowadays, I'm sure.

Why can people only think of socks? I'd buy a T-shirt with a screenshot from Boatmurdered or something on it, captioned something like "I hope you like miasma!"

OR, OR, or a pic presented at the very end of Boatmurdered:  A duel-weilding Steel-chainmail dorf on a hill watching smoke pour out of  an epicly evil elephant-blood soaked fortress with char all around while a child plays with mutalated body parts.

I think Toady has stated before that he didn't want to do merchandise because of the logistics and possible lack of revenue involved, but another company managing all of that for him might not be a problem.

I'd love an official DF shirt.
