Have one of your dwarves stand in it and see if his skins melts off or something. Blood rain usually applies some kind of random syndrome.
Are you sure? As I remember it blood rain is the only type of rain that doesn't apply syndromes, any other type of goo/other material type rain will have one, but blood rain is just blood.
Note to self: GET INSIDE QUICKLY!
Blood rain only causes bad thoughts and messes, unless you've modded in a civil with syndromic blood.

Alright, so bibliophiles spending tons of time reading would indeed lead to mass biblophile burnings once players get involved.

my (2)-copper coins-
Whenever I have thought about magic in DF, I always pictured it as a cabal of wizards performing the spell casting labor in a room full of statues, slabs, barrels of blood, with the intent of causing it to rain trout, or to resurrect a legendary cheese maker..
Consider mages being able to produce a quantified amount of magic through the spell casting labor. This would be used to fuel their spells.
One-off effects (like teleporting a gobin's spine two squares away) would require charging, and lasting effects (like a trout-rain) might require constant fueling.

I can definitely see a floor full of necromancers chanting away to keep their hordes animated.
Somehow this sounds dangerously close to the idea of mana...but yes, magic should be limited.

Planned, and suggested to death. It's been a while, though.

How about capping the maximum skill level based on a dwarf stat? For example if a dwarf has meager creativity then he can't advance above let's says proficient in any skill that has creativity as its attribute.
So, no one without talent can get enough experience to go past the basic levels of proficiency even if they spend every day of their adult lives practicing? If there's a hard cap in there, it should be based on the dwarf's desire for success ,not his inherent ability.

I'd like to be able to get non-mood legendaries in any fort, but I should need to work on it. Maybe accelerating skill decay at higher skill levels?

Come back to life as a Phoenix/dragon and destroy the 1 and on the die you're using, because I'm sick of turning to ashes.

Bear in mind that DF is still in alpha, so others are probably going to start writing books sooner or later.

[3] You hit the cop in the crotch with your improvised stun stick that doubles as an IV stand. You jump out of bed as fast as you can, locate some gauze, and improvise a gag and some bindings before relieving the cop of his pistol, tazer, and radio. Looking around the room, you grab several syringes, a container of liquid medicine labeled" morphine," and some other medical supplies, including medical tape to strengthen the bonds. You also find your street clothes and change out of your hospital gown and into them.
What now?

Not designation boxes, GWG.
Permanent zones that act like you're automatically re-designating the area for tree cutting and plant gathering every time something grows there.
I know. I would probably set most of the map as that.

"My name is Dan, and I--"
"But...yer a lass..."
"It's less odd among kitsune, and anyways my parents admitted to being a bit too drunk when they named me. I have no idea what my plans are, and I can't see too well. If we could find an exit I guess we could leave, but otherwise I haven't the slightest idea. I'm just as confused as you are."
The dwarf twists his beard. "If ye brought me out that doorway an' a bit to th' left, we'd be onna mostly straight path outta th' kobolds' area...but then we'd be in th' caverns...Is that fine wi' you, kit-Dan?"
Is it?

After the mission we need a jeep with some form of turet on it.
Sounds good. Maybe an armed APC, which would make it an IFV technically but meh.
Sound acceptable?
