Just play it every time you interact with the menu or UI in any way.

In the vein of the above...make all of procedurally-generated version numbers sound like Friendship is Magic OC rejects

DF General Discussion / Re: How would you categorize creature size?
« on: March 17, 2022, 06:50:35 am »I imagine the listed size categories as referencing weight/density a lot more than length or height. It's how elves can be taller than dwarves or goblins and yet still be in the same size category (either that or they're just being massive hypocrites with their 'short' jokes, I guess either is just as likely).It's total volume. An elf is taller than a dwarf but thinner, while a human is both taller and about as... broad... as a dwarf.
Yeah, that's pretty much exactly how I assumed it works.

"Altering the Carbon" sounds like the name of an indie rock band TBH.

+1. Considering how often non-euclidean geometry tends to pop up in speculative fiction generally, it makes a lot of sense to accommodate it in DF. Could also lead to potential for some interesting magic artifacts: eg. something approaching D&D's "Bag of Holding" (I know containers in current DF can already seem kind of like this, but IMO only until physics and in-game spaces are better ironed out).

Since it's logically the fastest way to bring DF to 1.0: Toady should draw power from every mention of DF on or offline anywhere in the world until he develops godlike abilities.

I ultimately won't complain about whatever Toady decides is best, but personally I'd prefer to have Adventure Mode present in some form at least from the get-go.

Laterigrade, your turn comes first. The ravenous farmdogs, seemingly big as bears to your feeble hobbit eyes, come charging across the fields towards you. What do you do?

Laterigrade...Farmer Maggot spots you from his yard and sics his dogs in your direction. Roll initiative.

Same...though with modifiers mine adds up to 4.
As you cross the mushroom fields, you hear the barking of old Farmer Maggot's dogs in the distance.

So it's agreed then? Alright, we must prepare the heist on Farmer Maggot's precious mushroom crop.
Everyone roll Stealth checks.
