I genned a new world today and got an ocean called the Sea of Barbarians.

I'm picturing an endless wave of Conans.

I took a list of a very large number of computer/video games and travestized it. This counts, because Dwarf Fortress is in there somewhere.

Hamtaro: Harley-Davidson Soccer Manager (1998, Croteam Land) (2011, Bethesda Software, Inc.)

Interesting idea...


So THAT'S what they're working on instead of Fallout 4!  :D

Introduced the game to my young nephew. Several days and forts later he could feed his dwarfs and so move on to greater challenges. About a week later he came to tell me that he had thought of the best mod to help his dwarfs survive, firebreathing dogs, and promptly modded it in.

I asked him how it went. His reply:

"So much fire...."

Your nephew is awesome.  I hope he never grows out of it.

So: new idea!

  • Get forgotten beast with unconscious-inducing (paralyzing?) secretions
  • Breed Rocs above your entrance
  • Wait for enemies
  • Make rocs go to sleep
  • Drop rocs
  • ?
  • Pofit!


So in other words....

Rocs fall, everyone dies?

:D

I introduced my friend to it back in 2010, shortly before d40 evolved into what we now have.  She wasn't digging it at first, but then suddenly she did.  She won't move beyond d40 (interestingly, I can't go back to it, after having clung to it for two more years) and she won't play without Mayday's graphics, but she has f (and Fun) and we trade stories.  I'm still trying to lure her to the current versioncersion by telling her about minecarts.

Unfortunately, I don't have time for an LP right now. I've got coursework and there's a big forum game I'm working on that takes up my free time. Maybe after midterms (in approx 1.5 weeks).

If you do decide to do this, count me in.

Meanwhile, if there's room for another here, I'd like a chaotic Lizardman Warrior, name of Dies In Mud, or does for short.  Don't tell him his name is Mud.  He... won't like that.

Think of him as your best, last doctor.

When someone suffers a crippling nerve injury or loses a few important limbs: send them to the doctor. Either they will die or they will catch the curse, and everytime a werebeast changes their body goes back to a shiny new state: limbs regrown, nerves fixed, etc.
Those who visit the the Doctor also become Doctors. It's kind of risky, particularly if there's a non-Doctor nearby when that time of the month rolls around...

I have a feeling that Doctor ought to be the word for werebeast, the way we say cotton candy and Clowns.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: baby born on hospital and walk around than die of hungry/thirsty

Yep, that is what happened.  Babies are special and they do not eat or drink normal things.  Only the mother can stop a baby's hunger/thirst, so if the mother can't get to the baby, the baby will usually die.  Sometimes you can get lucky though and it will "grow up" to a child before it dies.  Then, the regular food and drink will save it.

I had this happen. the mother died to something--vampire, maybe--and babby was fine.  it crawled about and I was sure I was going to lose it.  then the magic words "Urist McBaby has grown to become Urist McChild" and zoom, off he went to the food and booze stockpiles.

ate a fine drink lately
Somehow, this is the funniest one for me. Also:
Quote
was unable to find somebody to bed lately    Drops to -100 when old enough chests lately
Quote
was very upset by not having to tragedy recently
Quote
was embarrassed with mother lately

That last was obviously experienced by a dwarf teenager...

These are making me laugh so hard.  Some of them make me think of very badly translated anime.  But this one made me laugh longest:

dined in a fit of rage recently

"Goddamn it, food!  How dare you be so delicious!"
