I remember now...  They modded the trader's wagons.  They went crazy when the caravan appeared.

Where was this?

5th edition of D&D appears to be dead. There are no splatbooks, not even in project. This can't be good.

No, it is good. That's a deliberate design decision they made. The idea is that the player's handbook is all you need now. Older editions especially 2nd Ed got to the point where you needed dozens of rulebooks to join a game, depending on what everyone else was using. The goal of 5th Ed is to increase eye contact and talking/role-playing, and reduce the amount of leafing through a pile of rulebooks to determine things, but also to avoid the arms-race of optional rulebooks, which can make it very daunting and expensive for new players to play with established players.

It's paid off with chart-topping sales, which is especially noteworthy given that the game is competing with video games. You just need one book now, and can join any regular game. All new optional rules are contained in modules, and they have a deliberate policy of only including what's needed to make that specific module work in a story sense. So, really, only the DM needs to buy the new supplements. That seems to be the goal.

Remember, that 2nd Ed AD&D sent TSR broke and saw them being bought up by a competitor. More optional books did not equal more profits.

Actually, from what i understand, Gary Gygax left TSR after he found out that the execs he left in charge bought some 20 cars on the compant dime. It was hubris and stupidity.

I just had a coworker call the control room, and ask me if worker2 was there. I answered affirmative. Then there was 5 or 6 seconds of silence, before, I ask "worker1" Worker 1 got pissed off over the phone, and says "well, put him on." I put him on and later worker 1 confronts me, and begins lecturing me about my sarcasm, and asks me if i would call my friends up, and only ask if there there, if i thought he was taking attendence, and mentions that he had no idea what i said in the interview to get hired.  He never told me that he wanted to speak to worker2, just asked if he was there. Heck, ive done that, and immediately followed with either "could you put him on" "tell him that im omw" oe even "is he asleep?"

Well? Did ot work?

So what if you regen it past mass extinction of all dwarven races? Are you able to start at all?

Scroll over to where it says justice.  When you have a prodon properly zoned, is when it counts a cage ad part of the justice system. Just make a room from a cage, and hit j.

What do you do with pets? Pasture them in an underground room with the war dogs.
What do you think of cats?  That neutering them allows soft fuzzy vermin hunters to exist without catsplosions.
What' is your favourite stone/ore? Bauxite.

and...
Complete the sentence:

The first thing I do with migrants (or check in migrants) is assign them a single labour to do so they can learn a specialized trade. Unless they have a high skill in a useful labour, I ignore their skills completely. If I've got over ~300 dwarves already, I usually drown/magma them to avoid the hassle.

What pc do ypu have that lets you have 300 dwarves?
