Bay 12 Games Forum

This is the sequel of my first forum game Potash Maker Adventure which I, uhm, let starve to death...
The game mechanics will mostly stay the same, but I changed some numbers to improve mortality:

skill checks: Whenever you apply a skill or do something tricky two d12 are rolled against each other. The success roll receives a bonus of +1 for every skill level (and other boni/mali your almighty GM choses to give you) and has to surpass the other d12, otherwise you'll fail and may die horribly.

combat: When trying to hit an enemy you* roll your weapon skill against the victim's dodge or shield using skill. If the roll is successful, you hit.
Then you* roll a d6 to determine which zone of the body you hit. Then one or more dice are rolled, depending on the used weapon, the sum is divided by the armor value of the hit body zone and rounded to determine the damage.

*Your almighty GM rolls the dice and tells you the result. No, he won't cheat. Probably.


You need to choose a class and a dwarfy name to begin your adventure. The class gives you a random (1d6) level of the related skill and related item(s). You can also specify how your dwarf shall look like.

available classes:
Potash maker
Crutch-walker
Dyer
Presser
Soaper
Spinner
Thresher
Wood burner
Milker
Fish cleaner
Fish dissector
Record keeper

Hi dwarves!

I played around a bit with the midpoint displacement algorythm and basic 3d programming stuff.
During the programming I got some obligatory Windows errors where nothing was wrong in the code (well, Win XP) and am now looking for some people to test the compatibility of the demo.
It cannot do really much yet, the program just creates a simple fractal island, converts it to a mesh and lets you look at it.

Hi,
I'm currently playing an Adam and Eve challenge in .31.03. My problem is, that the man just stopped working two seasons ago.
He is listed as "No Job" in the unit-screen, but does not count to the total number of idlers (like on break). He has nearly all jobs enabled and can path to the jobs' locations, but only wanders around in the meeting zones.
Has anybody an idea how to fix that?

For my latest Crime Squad, wich is lead by Ronald McDonald, I needed some liberals capable of making disguises. So I freed a sweatshop worker from the forces of evil, but on the way to the savehouse we were followed and they got him. That was when I first looked at his name:
