Thank you for the newbie FAQ, I've found the Wiki and the in game help to be a bit inadequate. I mean years ago I picked up Civ III without knowing what it was really about and learned how to play by actually playing it, but I can't even get that far with Dwarf Fortress. First I thought it would be a good idea to pick up one of those graphic tools to go with it, Stonesense looked nice, but spent about an hour trying to get it to work because I didn't realize the executable after you have your game running. Then when I finally got the game going I couldn't do anything, my dwarves just sat around idle if I turned the timer on. I jumped into the help file and it was happy to throw me walls of text but no quick guide on how to simply start playing.
So yeah this guide is a huge help.
