EDIT 1:
Thank you to all who came to follow me and watch the stream tonight! I think I'm going to let this post die a slow, natural death on its own. Deathkey is up and running, for now, fueled by the... mysterious events that transpired with 2, likely 4 dwarves loosing their lives.
I will likely post an update before the next stream, inviting others to come and watch our slow decay into disrepair and madness, but for those of you who want to plan ahead, we're picking up where we left off next week at 5:00 PM EST, when we will determine the fate of the Pretentious Tools together! We may also stream one or two things before then; you can check out my Twitch channel for updates for any such impromptu stuff when I figure I've got the time to spare.
What I'll do is make a second topic for my DF streams here, and just update it with information as stuff happens. I also talked to the forum moderators about the 'polite, community appropriate' way to create a stream update thread without being a self-aggrandizing moron, and the response seems to be 'Let the community decide.' So I'm going to poll people in General Discussion to get an idea for what we as a whole feel the best way to go about this is; pending that discussion, my separate DF Streams thread might disappear, or I might change something, but I'm going to make it for now just so that you guys have a place to go to discuss the events that transpired, and post any fanart you may come up with.
See you all around the bend!

Yo.
So I'm doing something new in my life and looking to stream on Twitch. Because of my chronic self-loathing, I want to stream Dwarf Fortress first, despite knowing that streaming Dwarf Fortress can bore viewers to tears if not interesting or exciting. I'm hoping that the awesomeness of the DF community and its exorbitant morbidity will help with that, as it has proven both after four years of lurking and very intermittent posting.
So I'm taking suggestions on !!FUN!! elements to add to my game that you folks would enjoy watching. I've been playing Dwarf Fortress for... uh, too long... so I can handle some severe levels of difficulty. Evil biomes, arctic embarks, poor man's starts with no equipment, everyone's a cheesemaker, worlds with crazy stupid amounts of forgotten beasts, pre-genned worlds you guys are familiar with that would make for a good stream... go nuts!
I will turn down stuff that's obviously going to doom me before the first season is up, but anything else is fair game.
Twitch channel is here:
