Bay 12 Games Forum

Wow, this thread is about on the verge of being dead. Well, it kinda is.
I just thought I might Inform you on the outcome of the presentation.
It's now a couple days since I had it, but I got pretty clear feedback from the teacher:
It's a solid 5+ (I think that is the same as a B+ or something).

What I find most funny about this though, is that this is a pretty darn niche game(kinda),
and all of my classmates are hardcore athletes, except for maybe two or three...But I was
the only one in my class who managed to awaken some interest in what I was talking about.
What I mean with that is that they all asked questions, even the girls
And they seemed generally excited to hear about it. I kept talking and answering questions
for at least 5 minutes after the presentation was done, and considering that all the other
15 or so presentations went by without a single question, I call that a win.

Thank you all for your input, I actually used a lot of the material you guys wrote here.
It made it all so much better

Once again the Bay12games community prevails!

So, dear bay12 community.

I'm having a presentation in my Norwegian class about Dwarf Fortress in a few days(teacher's weird, don't ask) and I wondered what I should talk about...
Then it hit me: why not ask you guys what YOU would like me to talk about?
That might be more fun

so, anything you'd like me to talk about in particular? Anything you think I should put in there? Just say what and I'll be happy to see if I can put it in there, and I'll give feedback once I'm done with it

A bit too short for an elf, no? He looks like a hippie alladdin kender to me . Great style, by the way, I like your interpretation (Alladdin due to a vest which looks like a vest of the prince of thieves in a cartoon).

Well, yeah, I think I've explained my views on the df elves before? I don't know, but I believe they have the same mass as a human in game. not sure. However, due to the abundance of dyes when they trade with me(every god damn time) as well as cloth, I've come to imagine they look like huge eyesores traversing the woods. But, thanks : ) fun way to look at it.

That's a gorgeous elf, Tofu! That's something like I imagine them.

Thanks a lot, and...really? And here I thought I was special : P

I wish I could say that this is awesome, but streams #1,#2 and #3 don't work for me. And stream #4 just asks for a verifiable user name and password, then when I enter them and press ok the prompt gets reopened, blank...
Sad, since this seemed really, really awesome : O

sorry for the size...can't use tinypic on my computer for some bizarre reason , and I can't be arsed to find out an alternative.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

it got...kinda butchered by the Jpeg reformatting or whatever..for some reason the colors are messed up too. But whatever, just zoom out or something.
I'm starting a long project portraying as many races as I can get my hands on in the DF universe : O
hope you like : )

Sorry to tout my own gun here, but  this is how I look at them all. Tolkien-esque, only more like sturdier, slightly shorter humans.

For some reason all I thought when seeing that is "This a most radical drawing"

Radical how ?

Thanks for the compliments, guys : )

I love it. Can you do cave fish men next?

And I was planning on doing elves, then humans, then maybe the other "lesser" races....but sure, I can probably dig up  a cavefish-man thingie after the elf....I really want to paint those rainbow freaks >.>
