Title: The Dorf Side - A DF Comic by Lord Dakoth - Name-A-Dwarf contest!
Post by: Lord Dakoth on October 03, 2009, 08:56:17 pm

1/15/10 - Episode 8. Cheers.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ever noticed that the dwarves in The Dorf Side don't have names? Well, you can change that! I am allowing Dorf Side readers to suggest names for dwarves. There are five dwarves featured in The Dorf Side, and all of them need names!

HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Post a reply on this thread with up to five name suggestions (one per dwarf.) Specify which dwarf you want to name (name the episodes that he appears in, and his general appearance (to avoid confusion.) Suggest a Dwarven name for this dwarf (name must appear in Dwarf Fortress) and, if you want, a brief explanation of why you think this name is fitting for this dwarf. I will pick the five suggestions that I think are most fitting, and draw an "introductory" poster that shows all five dwarves and their new names.

Cheers.

For the record, you should usually bump when you add a comic.

In that spirit, bump.

To quote the Dwarven entertainment program Urist the Vampire Slayer:

Tholtig: And was there a lesson in all of this? What have we learned about beer?
Urist: Solid!
Tholtig: Good. Just so that's clear.

Can someone explain what effect on the joke is that giant hulking figure in #2 is supposed to have?

Title: Re: The Dorf Side - A DF Comic by Lord Dakoth
Post by: Sensei on November 12, 2009, 01:02:11 am

I think he's supposed to be a demon, and in charge of the aforementioned place.

But that threw me off, too.

Temporary revival of the comic. I didn't have much to do yesterday, and DF was on the brain, so I decided to make two new comics.

Cheers.

Dwarf Side is becoming a pretty awesome spectacle.

Someone's been eating extra...

Wow. I don't know how to end that sentence without it being an innuendo.
Hmm...
Which do you prefer, Kitteh Biscuits or Plump Helmets?

Am I the only one that felt bad for the Hawaiian party elf?
It must have been a total buzz kill when the dwarf gave him that angry look.

Yeah, I kinda felt bad for him too. Then remembered he was an elf. So ... totems ftw.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you The Dorf Side, Episode 8.

Also, I am holding a contest of sorts. The "winners" will get to name the dwarves that appear in The Dorf Side. The rules are in a spoiler in the first post.

The dwarf in number eight.
Dumb Donald.
He reminds me of the fat albert guy in the hat named Dumb Donald. I always thought he was Mushmouth though.

Isn't Urist Mc(x) just a bit overused format?

only five dwarves? make it seven.

Post by: Lord Dakoth on January 31, 2010, 06:03:43 pm

Eventually, but I don't plan on writing two new dwarves in right away. Mostly, I'm waiting for some fitting (read: REAL, DWARVEN) names.

People who are voting: I'm already set on giving DF names to the dwarves, like Urist, Asob, Unib, Ducim, et cetera. I will NOT name a dwarf "Bob" or "Raye" or anything like that. Only names that are featured in the game itself.

So far, I have had maybe one legit submission. Read the guidelines, people.
