Roll To Dodge / RTD: Space. Turn 17: Well, that's not good.
« on: April 06, 2010, 01:55:39 pm »
Space RTD
Having only recently discovered RTDs, I've fallen in lust with them. Thus, I've decided to start my own. This one will not be one where you can will yourself into having magical abilities. Having said that, some stuff like that can happen if given some sort of reasonable-for-a-fantasy reason occurs.

The setup: It's around 2150 AD and Humans have gotten well into space and run across a few alien civilizations. The Aliens, for the most part, don't give a crap about Humanity. Humans basically don't have any interesting technology and produce nothing of real value that anyone has any interest in. It seems like there might be a lot of alien races out there, but Humans just haven't run into them a lot and no Aliens seem interested enough in Humans to bother saying much to them.

Still, Humans have picked up on a few things, notably in the arena of space travel. There are a lot of spaceships now, and Humans are busy trying to colonize a few worlds and basically expand.

You are in a transport ship headed to a distant planet. It's a fairly large ship, and you have been traveling for about 6 months. I need from you:

Name:
Gender:
Profession:
General appearance:


Do not tell me what you want for equipment, that will be handled with a dice roll. Note that no one will have any projectile or laser weapons, as it would be terminally stupid to fire one inside of a pressurized shuttle.

Any Roleplaying provided by you will be used, but isn't necessary.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Do you find yourself spoiled by the new version already?
« on: March 17, 2010, 04:16:48 pm »
In my current fort I keep getting annoyed that I can't do stuff I know I'll be able to in the new version.

For instance, I have no less than 3 dwarves who are missing a foot. Oh, how I dream of crutches! Also, I have a Axe Lord who has killed a few dozen enemies, including a Dragon, with his trusty -Iron Axe-, how much I want it to be a named semi-artifact that the axe love will love and hug and call him george.


What about you guys?

DF Gameplay Questions / My First King!...an Elven Queen?
« on: September 25, 2009, 07:04:08 pm »
I've not really played that much, so I'd never gotten HFS stuff before. This game, I have, and now I've gotten a King. Except she appears to be a Elven Queen. I'm trying to assign her a bedroom, but I can't seem to find her in my list to assign rooms to.

DF Gameplay Questions / No Water
« on: September 25, 2009, 09:58:52 am »
I'm on a map that has some forest and 'murky pools', but the summer is so hot that all the water evaporates away pretty quickly after a rain. This means even the most minor of injuries is a death sentence. Plus I get spammed with pages and pages of 'no water source'. Am I basically just screwed?

DF Gameplay Questions / Tower-Cap Growing
« on: April 24, 2009, 10:11:40 am »
Ok, so I have an underground pool and so I decided to try out growing some tower caps. I dug out a big open area and used a floodgate to make it all muddy. The thing is there is a lot of stone leftover from doing this, will the tower-caps grow where there's stone or do I need to get it all carted away first?

DF General Discussion / Need Some Advice
« on: April 07, 2009, 01:34:23 pm »
Ok, been playing this game fairly obsessively for a couple of weeks now. I've yet to ever get a siege. In fact, most every Fortress I found is hopelessly undangerous. I've been putting myself in Terrifying places and Untamed Wilds, but the only 'mean' critters I ever get are some rhesus macaques and slugmen/snailmen. I get a lot of those.

How do I get a place with some dangerous critters? If I wait long enough, do they just show up?

Also, I did a 'find' looking for a magma pipe. It gives me a place and I've just about mined out the entire underground spit and can't find the damn pipe anywhere. Is it guaranteed to exist on the spot the 'find' thing gives you?

Also, on the screen where you pick your spot to build, I look in the 'civilizations' screen. Sometimes I see goblins and they had a red dotted line next to them. What does that mean?
I settled on a goblin fortress once, and they were all friendly, and had humans all over the place. Human priests and stuff. What's up with that?

I want to settle in a fairly dangerous place, so I have something other than just building what I wanna build to take into account. How do I get that?

DF Gameplay Questions / Strange Mood
« on: April 01, 2009, 08:50:19 pm »
I have my Weaponsmith in a strange mood. Unfortunately he's sitting in the metal shop not doing anything. I have every type of alloy and ore smelted that I can, and yet he sits there. Is it possible he wants something I don't have? That would kinda suck...
