I would like to know more about necromancer experiments: the huge amalgations mentioned in legends Mode, which seem to rampage like (semi)megabeasts. Is it possible to meet them in fortress mode or adventure mode? Would two of the same species be able to breed? I would like to know if they could even break away from their necromancer and join societies.
Thanks for creating this amazing game, Toady!

The extracted raws example on the wiki ("hulk of Kortulon") has a male and female caste, so they should be able to breed if no other token stops it (like NIGHT_CREATURE). The example has no sapience tokens, so it wouldn't be able to join societies normally like the intelligent experiments do. Though that could mean it's treated like livestock so maybe you could steal some in a livestock raid?

The above all applies to the example, but it's possible there is some variance. Clown species can be generated with two gendered castes, or a single one, either gendered or ungendered. They can only breed in the first case. It's possible the same is true for experiments/amalgamations, and the one raws example on the wiki doesn't tell the whole story.

There has been some in the devlogs and the FotF replies, including the idea that they might release the formatting early for modders to prepare. But in large they've avoided going into details because it's been unclear how much of the formatting would change. Dunno if showing it is still in the plans before the initial release.

Denji is great. He is an idiot and a pervert but by having all that interiority he avoids being an idiot pervert character.

As I understand it, "pan" was concocted as a more inclusive version of "bi", as bi implies things about the gender binary, basically ignoring enbies for no good reason. On the other hand, "bi" is the older, better established term. So yeah, it comes down to a name preference.

Though be that as it may, I've also heard rumors of people who use "bisexual" intentionally, and not just because they are jerks slaves to the normative of the gender binary, but because they are attracted to two enumerable genders. Never met one of these people personally, as far as I know, but even if the rumor was taken out of thin air, I am sure there exist at least a few it applies to. There are plenty of people out there.

I have to wonder if being on Tumblr and Bay 12 Forums both, and now especially this thread, will make my intuition of how common trans people are really estranged from the statistics of humanity as a whole. Like, I think I know most of the people I meet in real life aren't trans, but the internet places I frequent has my mind going "oh, it has to be at least a fifth of the population, everywhere, right?". Hoping this observation doesn't come off as weird.

As for another thought on LGBTQIA+ issues, I feel it's important to try to accept people even when you're not able to understand them. Being pan, I for one can't understand monosexuality, be it of the hetero- or homosexual kind. I can try, but the closest I get is interpreting it as kinks or preferences, and I know it's more than that for people. There's just something I can't grasp, and I'm pretty sure I never will, and that's okay. And that applies to everybody in different ways, we have to listen to others and try to trust them, perhaps especially in cases where you can't understand them, weirdly enough... Maybe the most cookie cutter take in history, I dunno.
